huhio is sore. In fact. he il YER,
sore, and the more he thinks about m,
way the Hawaiian voters pumped glee
FULLY for Link McCandless on election
day the sorer he gets. He objects. also

IN almost every precinct he lost votes
ms oldtine majorities have gone tc
smash, and he won only because the
corporations he tried so hard to FIGHT
against swallowed him because of his
republican label, in spite of what he
tried to do.
In the first representative district he
was beaten by Democrat, ID. e. Metz
yer leading tho polls, while in Oahu he
was beaten by pretty nearly every Dem.
oerat on the ticket. Consequently he
is gricved in his Utmost soul and his
tenderest FEELINGS are anguished. When
he braves the public gaze and discourses
down Cunha s Alley, he points out that
the vote proves the people to be back
of him in his fight against the Gov.
ernor, because the people elected him
and defeated Dowsett and Renton, but

broods and broods and broods. Then,
after brooding has bred articulation, he
arises and bellows defiance in the di-
rection of the Capitol, announcing that
he will resign his seat and let the Ter.
ritory go to smash.
The first few times he said this none
paid attention, because he is in the
habit of threatening that he will not
play when something goes wrong He
has announced on various occasions that
he would resign; also that he would not
be candidate if Governor Frear were
cleared of the charges he made; also
that he would not be n candidate on the
Republican ticket, and further that he
would not consent to have any of the
corporations support him. Consequent

his seven thousand.a year plus.mileage
sineCure and chuck it in the faces of
the people who did not vote for him,
everyone kept quiet and waited for the
little storm to blow over.
However, he said it so much that
there was some alarm lest this time he
might really mean what he promised,
and hurry-up call was sent out ste
phen Desha posthasted up to Hawaii
and hit the telephone to Kohala, tell
ing Holsten to beat it in to Honolulu
and pour balm upon the gaping wound
in the Delegates self-esteem. Doctor
Huddy, who beat Kuhio in IIilo, was
instructed to come to Honolulu Mt once
and explain himself Metzger, who beat
Kuhio in n dozen precincts, was also
asked to visit Honolulu and tell the
Delegate that it was m error of judy
mcnt and bad taste upon his part to
say the least, while the Honolulu Ku-
hioites have been relaxing in their eff
forts to get Kuhio to "take back them

Holstein, Huddv and Metzger ar

added their modicum Of cheer to the
lrooping champion of the peoples

Kuhio Ind the crowd going. MI right,
but he will not resign. The Advertiser
is not in Kuhio 3 confidence, but we
have no hesitation in announcing that
he win not resign. Of course he feels
ike it. hut then there is ALWAYS time
FOR another think. and that time will
come. Do not worry.
