Q. Well. that Il mere personality.
Mr. Goodale might become i'll, or get
10 better offer on the mainland. Whai
do you think the general opinion is--
should the limitation IN the OrKanic
Act be maintained or should II not!
Ashford: II In extremely hard to an.
swef your question. would rather
see local man appointed. even
though he has some OF the faults and
disqualification Of which we might
complain. than to take the risk Of
such appointments as we might get
from the mainland My colleague. Mr..
Kinney, is quite strongly In fayor Of
the amendment OF the act. Still. ii
is possible that We might expect to
get on better with that prospect ahead
Of the people here. In other words,
IL man were appointed from here,
even IL he had these Affiliations, he
might so subdue these affiliations so
as to make him good governor.
IS @. appreciate the sentiment
against q NONRESIDENT governor. /
am asking you because Mr.. Kinney
has taken such q decided stand in IA
yor of that position taht would like
to know the position the Delegate
takes?
A. I understand his position IL that
there ought to be an amendment
@. What do 20 uthink about II,
Prince?
Kuhio: take the stand as the rest
of them men available for the posi-
ton, whose position is such that he
can use his Office for the interest Of
the people as p whole. / believe we
should have that man from here
@. think We all agree on that.
A. Say then that II we cannot find
a man whose position ID politically
who acts without considering the am
liation that he Ii connected with, that
then believe the amendment Of the
that the Organic Act should be chang.
ed-that q man SHOULD be imported
from the mainland.
@. That should be the end of the
administration or any administration.
-firsft0 select q man here IL there
il a man available and IL he il not
available to select man from the
mainland who viii be absolutely inn
partial and enfiicient but In order 70;
enable that man to be. appointed r.
would be necessary first to amend the
Organic Act. IN order to take care
of contingency of that sort would
you believe in the amendment Of the
Organic Act?
a. / would. II the conditions ex-,
ist as. they do today or have been
since annexation. then there should
be. I don't think conditions have
changed here In this country since
annexation. / think we are going in
to worse condition, that Is. speaking
from An Americans point OF view
1 think conditions today in this Ter
ritory would not be tolerated In any
other State In the United States. The
conditions are not such TO IA small
man in this country. There Is no
such thing as g middle man here
You have got the almighty rich or the
poor. IL AconditiOns are such as that
under republican administration the
last 10 Oh IL years Of annexation
surely something Ii wrong some
where. Perhaps the blame Ii not
very much on the administration here
perhaps the fault Is In Washing
ton.
o. Wen what do you think about
the fault IN the conditions themselves
90 that without regard to the efforts
Sc wen meaning and public spirited
men here or fs desire Of the people
in washington do you think that the
a ! don't quite understand your
q. You say there are either they
very rich or very poor. Theer IL no
middle class. So long as that eondi-
ton prevails do you think It VIII pc
possible to select q Governor!
A. As the conditions exist today,
/ doubt whether any homesteading
viii be success.
q. You doubt whether It win be
success?
Al. doubt it.
3. Well. can you change them?
a. Well, take my views from the
ordinary laborer,s standpoint, from
he point Of view Of the labofing man. !
d. Well. what are your views?
A. Encouraging Notwithstanding
q. Well, now!
Al. In q good many ways.
d. You mean extend the reclama- \
lon act. There isn't anything to thar |
xcept the appropriation of money
he territory can go into the reclama-
lon act
Kuhio. Get the territory to do It, /
hem
@. understand you are powerful
ere politically here. Couldn't you
Be your political Influence?
Al. Any efforts have made here
officially are oDiy SO far as my cleo
on is concerned. The power is such
i. this territory here strong as am
officially in elections when you
ome down to the power Of controllingi
le legislature. haven't got that. Ii
Q. can appreciate that. You are
