While Chas X. Motley, standard
bearer of the Home Rule party, has
not said so himself, 1t is reported that
he will during his tour of the other
islands, not only speak for himself,
Dut will, in addition, say good words
for Prince Kuhio, Delegate to Cong
ress.
Motley, it must be remembered,
worked together with the Prince dur
ing the last campaign. Whenever
they had political meetings in Kau,
Kona and Waimea, Motley advised the
Hawaiians to vote for the Prince if
they thought Motley could not succeed
on election day. The result was that
Kuhio polled large vote on Hawaii.
One of the Home Rule leaders said
yesterday that Motley will begin his
campaign in a few days. .
