Warren asked, "Why not Monday?' to
which Andrews replied, "WelI. Mon

Deeming that our right to have
/ copy was and is absolute, we declined
/ to receive it under any such Imitation
or to initial the roll itself.
When we last saw the roll, August
25th, there We're 247 names enrolled;
when we finally obtained a copy from
Buffandeau at $50 p. m. August 31st,
there were 327 names thereon. What
does it look like?
After we nominated John Kalima-
pehu for delegate to the county con-
vention, Buffandeau inveigled Kalima-
pehu into his own house, kept him
there until he signed a paper the con-
tents of which he was ignorant al
though he afterwards believed the pa
per to be a consent to act as judge of
election. The paper he did sign was
an absolute withdrawal as a candidate
Thus they sought to disqualify him as
candidate against them. Kalima-
pehu demanded and received back the
letter thus obtained from him, having
previously also cancelled it in writing.
We asked the executive committee"
of our precinct to favor the use of the
voting booth at Punahou junction for
the election; they named. instead,
Chinese store on BeretaIia street,
close to Buffandeau and Andrews
home and political headquarters. We
appealed to the county committee and
they recommended the runahou poll
ing booth to the executive committee.
Our executive committee has, never
theless, advertised the Chinese shop
as the place.
We asked for an opportunity to see
the proof of the official ballots, as they
are to be printed. They refused. We
! appealed to the County committee and
) they recommended that every candi-
date in the whole election should be
allowed to see the ballot before going
to press. Will we see it? We do not
know.
Last Sunday the executive commit
tee" of our precinct held a meeting"
There are eight members. THREE of
the number only were presnt Four
had no notice of it or knowledge of
what was done.
The Advertiser has said that John
, Kalimapehu was bribed by the liquor
people ito sell out to the Manoa tick
l ct" and that he came to the meeting at
Hemenways office at the instance of
the liquor people. That is false. He
came in response to a message sent
from F. e. Steere, our chairman.
The charges that we are working
r with the liquor intereste;" and that
we are receiving money from them for
our fight; are equally untrue. 1t is
also new thing, in our experience, to
be charged with giving brides. 81
: The insinuations and bald charges
e of the Advertiser respecting the good
: faith and work of our committee
g our work is certainly the core of the
e movement against the Andrews-Buf-
s fandeau rule-were at first regarded
If with some concern, as calling, perhaps
T. for some refutation of them from our
o committe.
: They have since grown so viciously
I. untrue that we are constrained rather
y to let our voters judge between us and
that paper, whom they will believe.
