He said that he and the party of which
he is dean were after information and
were not in Hawaii for politics. I'VE
are not interested in your local fights"
said the distinguished Representative,
but are merely here to look into con-
ditions," and after a finely worded ex-
preston of pleasure at being able to
call the people of Hawaii brothers and
sisters, he proceeded to repeat what
might be regarded as a rebuke to the
political workers: I'VE do not take
sides in local matters"
Congressman Humphreys of Missis-
sippi spoke next. Among the things
he said was that II the local gov
eminent was right and good the peo-
pie would be happy even il Congress
did make mistakes in making laws for
the islands. He proceeded to pay
high tribute to the delegate, and COM

crat, under all the circumstances, it
seemed to have a special significance.
"As a member of the committee having
the matter in hand" he said, II appre-
clated the difficulty involved as far as
Hilo is concerned in the two PROPOSE
tions that you couldn't have your rail-
road extension without your break
water and that you could not get a
breakwater till you had the railroad
extension. Thanks to the efficiency
of your representation in Congress the

Hon. Kaalaawa, a member of the Ha-
waiian house, followed with a speech
in Hawaiian and then Hon. Gambler

with his eloquence and patriotism.
Congressman Rodenberg, who is wei

not to reflect, las was done tonight
on the federal government, and in
mention of Kuhio, who he said, had

Governor Baker spoke next, will
Andrews as interpreter. He made
very fine impression. His address wa
mainly on the land question. He sal,
that many people had been opposed t
annexation and that he had beel
