MISREPRESENTATION Demo.
CRACY'S H0PE...THEN
GRAFT.

Misrepresentation is the proper
platform of the Democratic party and
that is what the people will get by
placing the Democratic party In pow
err
Misrepresentation is the stock In
trade of Boss McCandless. He is mis-
representing facts. He is misrepre-
senting his capacity to secure results
in Washington. lie is of course mis-
representing his opponents. but with
candidate possessed of the political
integrity productive of confidence
among the voters, there should at
Il asst be some appearance of truth in
Is assertions made on the stump for
political effect.
Misrepresentation is the game Of
practically all the Democratic can
didates who do not sympathize with
the Boss McCandless platform but are
seeking the votes of citizens by pri-
yately repudiating the damaging and
/ poiiNito
has forced upon the public and is ex-
pounding with the enthusiasm of ex-
IRENE selfishness.
One of the individuals in point is
the candidate for Treasurer on the
| Democratic ticket.
Misrepresentation is what Candi-
date Trent stands for as he nominally
pretends to be in line with his party.
He stands with the Boss McCandless
policies among the Hawaiian-Ameri-
cans through his continued .and stud
led silence on vital issues of the
campaign. He repudiates McCand-
less In his private talks with the vot-
ers whom he knows are opposed to
the disaster producing policies for
which McCandless has made the Dem
ocratic party responsible.
That is Trent's misrepresentation
Trent is, like other candidates on
his ticket, trying to slide into office
on the prejudice that McCandless
arouses,. while at the same time nurs-
ing the so-called independent vote OF
the Fourth District by stating that he
does not believe in McCandlessisms
| Misrepresentation is another term
for bad faith, and that Is exactly the
attitude of these men.
No man can be true to the people
whom he asks to vote for him, II he IL
all things to all men, supporting the
McCandless doctrines and the con.
spiracy to establish boss rule
throughout the City and County OF
Honolulu. when dealing with Nc
Candless men, and opposing the vic
ious McCandlessisms when talking
with those who have at heart the
general welfare of the people and tn,
best development of the Territory.
Men OF this character are a men
ace to the cause of good government
in any community and theirs is al
evil and dangerous candidacy to sup
port.
I To vote them into office is to plac,
the machinery OF the government II
the hands of men who will run 1t 1,
suit themselves rather than for tn
whole people,
Such men, under the guise Of per
, sonal and political purity, will stan,
by while the corrupt influences will
: which they are associated, build up
] vicious II not unlawful organization
the sole purpose of which is to han,
out the graft, the loaves and fishes o
: political pickings on which lazy mel
may fatten at the expense OF the pub
lie treasury.
} Just this thing has been going oil
and II the people allow the Democrat
, ic party to have control, they may b
certain that the misrepresentation
