Islands and Porto Rico, on the
plebiscite. 1t is a vitriolic criticism
of political conditions here and of
Delegate Kalanianaole. The main por.

The silence of the delegate brought
TO us such comprehensive disaster,
that We never reached the point of
having an argument The campaign
began, continued and ended in mere
clamor against the missionaries
and the malihini-myself The intel
lectual and moral caliber of the Ha-
waiian masses may be seen in the
editorial columns of The Honolulu Ex-
aminer, a newspaper owned by a very
distinguished Hawaiian and edited by
David Hoolapa. In the issue of June
is, 1910, the key note of the plebiscite,
from the native point of view, is
tersely sounded. 1t leaves nothing in
doubt but the rules of English COM
position.
I'VE want freedom and liberty. We
do not want to be restricted from our
rights and dictated to by this mali
hini, this is supposed to be a free
country.

what We can in an upright and honest
manner to make living and support
our families and so on. Why at this
late hour comes a voice from a for
eign part to frame laws for us Hawai-
fans and those who are residing here
also and who sympathize with us Ha-
waiians"
The Liquor Dealers.
1--WE are trying to be content with
what's left What more do these pre-
tended Friends Of Hawaii want? Do
they want everything and we who
own the very soil they tread upon
give up our rights and cannot ex-
press our thoughts and ideas? No!
No! Not us!
eve have had enough of them,
therefore, 'Ye Hawaiians, this is the
day and hour we must stand hand in
hand and with one heart and soul say
no to the wishes of these people; and
the voice of the liquor dealers who
pay heavy licenses-they are your
friends. Ye Hawaiians, stand by
them, remember the power is in your
hands; if you Hawailans come togeth-

out and get control of both houses in
the next legislature, then you Hawai-

Remember your country, flag! king!

Again in the issue of July Both, the
editor sums up the plebiscit from the
rear.
No was the word that sent Joy
all over the Territory of Hawaii. NO
was the two letters that defeated the
malihini and his followers. Why? Be-

the liquor people were working hare
to earn money to support their fam
lilies in an upright manner, therefore,
God pitied them and granted their
wishes. The liquor dealers won also
because they were right in every re-

trash to force law down our throat
without the consent OF the people.
Now, Mr. Smarty, how do you feel af-
ter the defeat. That's what you get
for playing smarty in the Territory of
Hawaii. We people of Hawaii Mel
will not let you nor another like you
come here and dictate to us as we

Malihini, several times in the columns
OF this paper that the liquor dealers
were the lords Of Hawaii Mel and
they are very powerful people thai
