Mr.. Steere in his address asked for
the votes of the Hawaiians because
their interests and his were Identical.
He wanted clean precinct. lie want
ed men to go to the convention who
would aid in giving Manoa better
roads. better lights. and better water
system. Manoa wanted proper repre-
sentation in the convention as well as
in the administration. He said he put
the question straight to them. asking
them TO put their trust in the insurgent
nominees as against the Andrews-Buf-
fandeau ticket.
A. n. Cooper said he wished the com

wanted clean roads and clean water.

With The Advertiser.
Prince Kuhio made one of the first
speeches he has uttered since his re-
turn from Washington. He did not
take sides in the fractional fight. but
set forth some views which are worth
remembering during the coming cam
paign. He told the voters they must
90 in for clean politics. He dwelt on
the Kakaako mess in the brewery dis
trict, where, he said, citizens rights
| were taken away from them week
Iago Through unfair means He
/ claimed this was not a square deal, to
prevent a man from putting name in
nomination at the primaries. He asked
| for square deal in all phases of poll
tics. He said that the sooner the party
got rid of this stripe of politics the
better.
If there was any bossism in the
Manoa or any other precinct, it was up
to the voters TO say whether they want
ed hossism or not. He said he was ex-
pressing no feelings one way or an
other He referred to The Advertiser

that he was with The Advertiser in any

He told the natives that if they in

advised them to refrain from playing
, the part of a Republican until they met

were defeated in the convention, his ad
vice was not to get sore and run off to
another party. lie referred to the last
convention, when Hustace, he said. went
| out to get the Home Rule vote and was
sore because the convention did not
back him.
lie advocated square deal and op

been reported from Kakaako. The Ha
walians should be honest and sincere
in their political faith.
He also advised them to remember
the promises made by candidates wher

He said the Manoa precinct was large
enough and important enough now t.
