party aud who is standing on a plat
form which proclaims that Hawaii must
kill immigration in the bud. but has
preferred to ask. rather than to answer,
questions, and stated that Delegate
kuhio was the man of whom answers
should be expected.
''Why do YOU advocate a law which
would prevent the Portuguese on Punch
bowl from having preference right to
the homes they have built-why do you
want to exempt city property from pref
erence rights in your land scheme9''

against the welfare of the Portuguese, -
declared Link. 1.-The disposition of the
lands is up to the Governor and the
land commissioner. I have said all that
IS required for me to say in previous
interviews, and | have nothing more to
say. Ask Kuhio what he expects to do
Tor the poor people or what he ever
accomplished. Ask him some of these
questions. -
