(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
Prince Jonah Kuho Kalanianaole,
delegate 70 congress, came home on the
steamer Sierra, yesterday, and was met
at the pier by Princess Kalanianaolo
and several friends and quickly started
for his home at Waikiki, for rest.
Later he refused to see a representa-
tive Of The Advertiser, telephone
message stating that it would be a
waste Of time for anyone to call upon
him.
Upon his arrival Delegate Kuhio gave
q statement to the afternoon papers in
which he said; 81 deny in toto hav-
ing conferred with President Taft or
Secretary Fisher upon the bond ISSUE. "
In interviews with representatives of
the Bulletin and the Star the Delegate
is quoted as stating that his principal
reason for going to Washington was
to oppose the reappointment of Gov
ernor Frear. Also that whether he won
OF lost his light against the Governor
he would carry on the fight here to
finish.
In his interview for the Star the
delegate is quoted as saying:
His Opposition to Frear.
"There is nothing personal in my
opposition to Governor Frear, but l am
unalterably opposed to some of his
methods, particularly his administra-
tion of public lands. Perhaps it would
be better to say that my opposition to
him is based as much on the policies
which he has failed to carry out as on
those which he is carrying out.
HIt is stuff and nonsense to say that
/ am after the governorship. Such a
thing has never entered my mind, and
under no circumstances would l ac-
cept the Office.
''After all it is hard to diagnose the
Governors policies. hear that he
,says that he is going to do things from
time to time, but | haven t yet dis
covered that he has any definite policy.
Good of His People
"fThe will of the people is made clear
at Washington through the electorate
and if Governor Frear is reappointed
1 shall devote my efforts and influence
to secure the election of men who will
stand for things which will make for
the good of the Territory and my peo-
pie, which the Governor has failed to
stand for, In this way, the President
shall be shown that the electorate are
opposed to Frear, if, as l firmly be,
lieve, they are so opposed.
"That Governor sits in his office and
laughs when / go before the people
and 1 have to defend his administra
tion. have made promises ant
pledges to the people and through hi
, administration l have to staltify my
self and my friends" /"
Interrogated as to whether he con
templated change OF politics thu
prince said:
subservient to Wishes.
'eI am Republican, and have al
ways been stanch Republican, al'
would like and expect to always re
! main one. | would rather WITHDRAW
! from active participation in politics
= however, than to continue to be act
y iyelv identified with the RepIblica,
party if Governor Frear is reappoini
y ed. 1t is absurd and untrue to sa
1 that am going to turn Democratic
4 1 am subservient to the wishes of tn
J. people, however, and that will be m
e only guide in determining on m
future political career.
Q "I have had to stand the brunt G
S the shortcomings of the administrs
e ton, and feel as if have been 100
}. ing the people, and the people won
h be fooled all the time.
e When told that the Home Ruler
- ,1aAs n TAatitl0
n in favor of his appointment as go'
a ernor, Kuhio stated that it was new
to him entirely, and that he had nt
g heretofore received an inkling OF u
IS matter.
e Didn't Use wastebasket.
7 In regard to the federal buildin
II site, and especially as to the civic cel
d ter site petition, which has not yet bee
sent to Washington, the Delegate sal
"Nothing at all win be done in Il
matter until Judge Dole gets back
try the condemnation case. 1t was
mistake to send the Irwin site pei
ltion to Washington, and it might ju
Z as well have gone into the vast
n paper basket. Congress only handl
national matters, and the treasu
department can't do anything in t
matter. Congress won't take any
tion in the matter till after the co
sy demnation proceedings have been &C
lis cluded."
Prince Kuhio expressed himself q
phatieally on the prospects of the ne
n president being a Democrat.
be ffThe feeling is rapidly growing
d. Washington and throughout the Unit
Inn States that II the Democrats in CO
ed gress continue to work upon their pr
et ent conservative lines and keep up I
good impression which they have.
