McCandless' Views

charges will have any effect with the
administration, and I look TO see Gov.

less. perpetual candidate for delegate
to congress, in discussing the published
charges made against the Territory's
chief executive
The would-be delegate was taking
life easy and reading Kuhio's charges
when he was called upon last evening
1 at his home on Liliha street by an Ad-
( vertiser representative, and he had no
hesitancy in expressing his opinion re.
gardng them.
Discussing the whole proposition
McCandless thought that the charges
were of too general n nature. and there
might have been specific if he had
something to back up his statements.
Had Two Chances.
"'There were two instances which
Kuhio might have used to emphasize
the attitude of Governor Frear toward
the homesteaders, the Kapaa and Kau
propositions, said Mr.. McCandless. In
the former case the lands have been
idle for four or FIVE years, and it is
stated in the paper today that Gov.
= ernor Frear has decided upon the agree.
ment to be drawn up for signature by
Makee Sugar Company for the lease
of the lands.
Gas to Kau, the homesteaders there
have completed all acts required of
them under the law Co obtain posses,
| sion of the lands. but they have not
, yet been given title as promised"
Too Strong Attack.
Speaking of the attack on the plan
! tations, McCandless thought it was toe
: strong, and the statement that the plan
tatiOn owners were all millionaire'
/ would be a bad thing coming at this
I time.

% At present we can stand to lose thi
