Z. D. TENNEY-1 do not believe
that the present Congress will enact
any free sugar bill. If it did, ] think
President Taft would veto 1t. How
ever, it may come from Democratic
Congress and President, but, if the
elections go that way, a political land
slide will follow which will bury the
Democratic party for twenty years.
II. P. WOOD-A few years ago
there was more or less Indifference to
Hawaii among tourist agencies and
passenger traffic men. Today the con-
dition is just reversed and these same
people are now fairly demanding to be
kept supplied with our printed mat.
ter. 1t is a pretty big job to do this
but we are doing all we can within
our means.
d. +. THRUM-I think the newspa
pers and the public are being too hare
in their criticism of Duke Kahanamo
ku and his manager for not havins
cabled the news. 1t may be that plans
have been so changed that Manager
Lou G. Henderson feels that he car

most natural that he should aVOiC

SQUARE STATEMENT
Continued from page One)
Iairman of the convention.

NOOhllhuGu llOLl page OIlGJ
chairman of the convention.
This proposed agreement was the
subject of discussion, and although
the delegate heartily endorsed the
first two items of the agreement, YET
he finally stated that he did not con.
slider that any. agreement should des
ignate the individuals who should
later be selected by the convention
as delegates.
Accordingly, in order to meet this
objection the officers Of the league
made to the delegate and his friends
second proposition, as follows:
81. That all delegates to the ma
tional convention should pledge them
selves to work and vote for renoml
nation of President Taft.
20. That the Kuhio-Frear contro
versy should not be brought into the
Territorial convention to be held Apri
/ Is, 1912, and that no action should
be taken by said convention, save the
choosing of the delegates and alter
mates to the Republican national con
/ vention
90. That the league would support
the delegate for election as one 81
the six delegates to the Chicago con
ventiOn, thus eliminating any opposi
ton to his election, upon condition
however, that he would at once re
turn to his post of duty at Washing
ton.
"The reasons for suggesting this
condition we're two; One being that /
the delegate remains in Honolulu dur
ing the campaign it seems probable
that personalities will be brought int
the campaign, even though it nigh
be against the delegates personal de
sire; the other being the fact that a
the present time particularly, in view
of the important legislation now be
fore Congress respecting Hawaiian at
fairs, the delegates duty, not only U
the party, but also to the Territory a
large, requires his presence in Wash
ington
ITO this second offer no express re
ply has been made to the officers o
the League However, the Delegate
has issued a public statement to tn,
effect that he proposes to remain II
Hawaii during the campaign and unit
after the convention for the election
Of delegates to Chicago is held.
This statement the League consid
ers to be a definite refusal on the par
Of the Delegate and his friends to &C
cept the second offer made.
"The members of the Taft Repub
Leans League realize that in attempt
ing to make an agreement of the nat
ure outlined above they might appea
to some to be attempting to dictate t,
the Republican party and that the.
might be subjecting themselves Il
some possible criticism. However, /

All Feature Films at Empire.
Three big feature films and the
Texas Tommy dance by experts are
tonight's attraction at the Empire in
nutshell. "Lassoing Wild Animals
in South Africa" is an intensely inter
esting picture from beginning to end.
It shows a band Of American bowboys
in the wilds of Africa roping and
tying the loin, hippopotamus, rhinoc-
eros and other inhabitants Of the Nile
river, and getting as much fun out OF
It as they would out of circus beasts.
This is an absolutely new film, and
the only one of its kind in existence.
It was obtained by the Honolulu
Amusement Company only after pay
ing heavy royalty on It.

been in Canada or not. 1t shows how
they enjoy life in winter away up
North. Snow from one end Of the
country to the other will prove very
interesting to those who have never
been in cold countries. The other
feature film will be a melodramatic
picture entitled Rescued in Time"
The pretty little Heyman sisters
will give a demonstration of how the
famous Texas Tommy" is danced on
the Coast. They will dance it better
than it has ever been danced here and
will demonstrate that there's nothing
Objectionable to the dance which re

at present it could not expend that
amount of money for a piano, al
