WHAT DECENCY is FACING

Just who are working in Manoa as
allies of the insurgents and just how
they are proceeding have been known
for some little time, but it was not
until yesterday, when the inspired at
tacks upon the organization ticket and
its leaders assumed more than their reg
ular viciousness. that The Advertiser
was given authority to use the informa-
ton at its disposal.
The following statements are fully
capable of proof, if they do not carry
sufficient weight of themselves in the
telling.
,Bribed EARLY in the Fight.
About three weeks ago Aehi, Clark
and Wise went through Manoa Valley,
visiting the prominent Hawaiians there
in the interests of the Bartlett-Buchly
combine, urging them to turn against
Buffandeau and particularly to vote
against Andrews. Among those seen
were John Kalimapehu and two others,
who have all admitted that they re-
ceived on this occasion money from
John Wise for selling out to the Manoa
ticket, in the case of John kalima-
pehu the amount being, in all, accord
! ing to his own admissions, 500.

| tenants and had been very intimate
with him in political matters. At the
| time of Wise's visit he was informed
| by the trio that he would hear in a
| few days the names of the people he
was to support. A few days later, ac
cording to his own statement, he was
| instructed to call at G. R. Hemenway's
office, in the Judd building. where he
met number of men, who told him he
was to have q place on their ticket and
to work against Andrews.
4 short time thereafter a meeting OF
| the organization workers was held in
! Manoa for the Hawaians, to select
| from among their own number theil
| three delegates who were entitled to q
place on the organization ticket. This
was the custom in the precinct of Civ
| ing representation to each nationality
and the Portuguese had already met and
| selected their candidates. At this meet
ing IN Manoa John Kalimapehu was
present, and stated that he was work
ing heart and soul with the other Ha
waiians for the regular ticket.
Duly Nominated.
| On the night of nominations he was
duly nominated by the insurgents
After the meeting. in common with a
number of the other active workers
John kalimapehu went to Buffandeau :
| house to discuss affairs connected with
| the precinct. There he was questioned
| by number of the other workers as tc
whether he was acting with the opposi
| ton, which he denied, and finally. tc
prove his sincerity, asked Buffandeau
to write out his withdrawal from the
ticket. which was done and signed by
| himself. This he did, he said. to show
| his good faith and that he had not
turned traitor to the men with whom
he had worked for many years.
Under Escort
! Saturday afternoon he in company
with a committee of three composed
of Messrs. Warren, Cooper and Eber
p. Low, who evidently could not trus
him alone, repaired to Buffandeau :,
, house, where he presented Bufandear
with a typewritten letter evidently
drawn by a lawyer which in forma
/ phrase stated that he did not know
what he was about in withdrawing
from the ticket and requesting that his
name be again placed on the ticket
