You observe wat large amounts
of money are now being spent here
by the navy department and the war
department, for the drydock, for forti.
ications. for the support of the SOL
diery and for great Federal improve
ments.
1t has been said by Link McCand-
less and men of his party that have
accomplished nothing for Hawaii /
want TO tell you that have accom-
plished a great deal In the face OF
strong opposition in Congress I
brought Congress to realize that the
Hawaiian Islands had to be consider
ed separately from the Philippines in
the handing of appropriations for
military and naval purposes. Now the
money is rolling into Hawaii and it
will continue to roll in by the millions
OF dollars. As each appropriation for
the furtherance of military and naval
strength in these islands comes to be
authorized | do not claim that | am
the father of thai particular appro-
prlation, but | declare that it was
your Delegate to Congress that started
the ball rolling and it will continue to
roll. think that is going some. If
HAD worked in Congress with no 9TH
er end in-yiew than-to make a noise, to
create sensation and to get my name
and speeches printed in the Congress
sional Record, could have done that,
hut my bluff would have soon been
called. What | have worked 10, and
what l have obtained have been re-
suits. ~
A word in regard to Link McCand-
less, who will be showed under on
election day. He asks you - iend
linn to Congress. tell you he would
not be able to get near the people
whose influence and friendship are de-
sirable for the furtherance Of Ha al
ian interests. He speaks two different
sentiments when he speaks two differ
ent languages. When he talks to the
English-speaking section of his audi
ence, he tells the people that |, Kuhio
am against the sugar interests; that
an. damning the planters and that |
am fighting the best interests of Ha.
wall. Then he turns to the Hawaiian
section of his audience and, speaking
IN the Hawaiian language, tells them
that | am soaked in sugar and that
an altogether tied up in the sugar in.
tefests, as have many times said be-
fore. McCandless makes false state
ment when he says that am.
When Taft was secretary of war
his hobby was the Philippines and
he tied the Philippines and Hawaii to-
orc hnV fnv fhn oi -
tary and naval appropriations. i want
to tell you that it took work on my
part to segregate Hawaii; to start
Hawaii off on her, own feet when 1t
came to benefits from the national
Congress. But 1t was accomplished.
Does that look like loafing in Wash
.ington? Now choose between Links
promises and what / have done. /
stand on my record and am confident
of your support. l am fighting for the
best interests of Hawaii and l intend
to keep on fighting. Let US all fight
together" ~:
Edwin H. Paris, for the. board of
supervisors, pointed out that the
Democratic party was not distribute
ing patronage fairly. The Republicans
have been fair and square in their
distribution of patronage between dis

not as one who had stepped into the
office chair from the class room,he felt
that he could demand the respect and
confidence of the men who are to
cast the votes for the betterment of
local conditions. He felt that the Re-
publican team, man for man, and
team for team, farfRoutweighted the
Democrats from standpoint of pur-
pose, desire and capability.
