Territory OF the United States.
woolley said the issue was up to
the Hawaiian. Woolley and Thurston
tried to make race issue OF the ques-
ton.
The response Of the Hawaiian
American and the response Of the
American born is such complete oy-
erthrow Of every appeal made by
these men, that II must now be und-
erstood that the Hawaiian wishes to
retain the position OF American equal
ity that he has honorably earned. and
he resents the false position In which
he has been placed by these alleged
friends, who one day call him n weak
ling and an incompetent and the next
utter pleasant names in the hope of
getting his vote. m..
The American-born has also placed
his indelibIe and decisive mark Of
condemnation upon the campaign of
the I. probibltionists as a whole and
Thurston and woolley in particular.
There is one precinct of the Terri

Gated white man. We refer to the
precinct OF the Fourth District where

while the people are not, for the mo-
meat, on guard. ~
They are practically unanimous in
their conviction that the citizens of
these islands are well capable of gov

who don't believe in government OF,

Thy are practically unanimous in
standing by the Legislature OF the
Territory of Hawaii as the body that
should frame and is able to pass eff
