voters at large, yet do not care to
predict what will happen to me or any
other Republican at the polls unless
we realize that talk and promises are
not going to go at the next election,
on the land question.
"We have got to get the land out
among these people; we have to make
good all our promises; We have 10 act
promptly, and if our heart is in it,
great deal more can be accomplished
than has been accomplished, and |
/ feel that the people have just griev-
ance against the administration of the
/ land laws.
81 had to confront such issues as
the sale of Lanai; it was a sale / never
believed in and was not responsible
| for in any way, yet it was thrown up
| to me at election time, and / had to
meet it as best I could, together with
good deal of other work of that same
kind, that was laid at the doors of the
Republican executive of the Terrific ".
cit is because / realize the situation
that l was intensely irritated to be
confronted by the people in Kau and
along the route with these constant
complaints that the Republican party
is full of promise and short on the ac-
tual doing of things. and in my irTita'
tion 1 perhaps spoke too sharply in
reference to Governor Frear, but | do
not take back one word on the propo-
sition that the Republican party has
and is still falling short of 'its obliga-
tions to the people, and especially in
the vital matter of the land question.
"The people are thinking about this
matter; it is the one issue that inter
ests them. and L saw right here and
now that if we dawdle along aud give
one excuse and another for failing to
make good, for one don't care to
predict how this election will 60 even
as far as my owl Office is concerned
81 do not care to name pa! yicular in
stances, but L feel this that Il the ad.
ministration of the land '.Ns was in
the hands of those who personally feel
the need of land and the leN elopment
of homes throughout the country, the
affairs of the lar office would move
very much quicker than they do no "
"People say If You want anything
done, do it yourself, and it may CO ne
down to this, that. men will finally bt
} put in power in close and direct touch
! with the poor people in the country
who want their lands; so while / wisf
|, it understood that / did not intend
J and do not now intend, any pefsona
injustice against Gov Inof Frear,
stad pat on the arraignment of th'
entire Republican executive hero, rs 1
whole, for falling short of their dut,
