i>f,u oih the investigation aud the
Governor appointment are the best
things that could rca IS have happened
tOr the future good Of Hawaii
Course orediteble one.
Zeno X. Myers, of the Home Insur
aneo Company was particularly pleased
az learning of the Governor s reappoint
mont through the columns OF yester
dav 5 Advertiser. 81 am glad TO hear
OF it, said Mr.. Myers, "as | believe
the Frear administration, generally
speaking, has been "A most creditable
one, and nothing at all was brought out
IN the rec emit investigation which 1t
need be ashamed of.
Entitled to It.
al sincerely hope that Governor
Frcar will he reappointed, stated
G orge w. Smith, of the Benson, Smith
Company yesterday ''He has given
us a clean and honest administration
and is entitled to the reward of his
work by a reappointment. AS he stated
himself, the Job is a 'thanlless one,
but. nevertheless, the people want to
see him remain another term.
Political Views.
Solomon Mahelona. the well-known
Hawaiian politician and leader of the
Republican forces in the ninth of the
fifth was not at all averse to being
quoted ON the Governor s reappoint
ment. "'Under the circumstances,
said Mr.. Mahelona, 81 fully expected
Secretary Fisher would heartily and
properly recommend the Governor S re-
appointment.
The weil.known independent politi
clan OF the fifth of the fourth, Jack
| tPaniuil Lucas, when approached on
the matter, stated ''They couldn t
consistently 10 anything else but re-
appoint the Governor. | think the in
vestication of Frear. and the condi-
t1ons generally obtaining here, helped
to clear the atmosphere and gave the
people better understanding of the
situation
Deserved It.
~ am so full of worries Just now,
said B. Won Damn, on whose shoulders
rests the responsibility of landing vic
tory by wholesale for the Republican
party IN the present political campaign,
''that / don t know just what to say.
I am SIRE he is Il good man. y Pressed
as to who was good man, Won Damn
said Bishop was. When the matter
was explained fully, Mr.. Won Damn
tumbled to the fact that it was the
Governor 5 reappointment that was uh'
! der discussion and then he warmed up
for the occasion.
"'Tell them, for me. that | am highly
pleased to hear that Governor Frear
will be reappointed. The Fisher IN
vestigation has clearly shown that he
has earnestly and conscientiously en-
deavored to fill his high Office and that
he deserves reappointment; also on ac-
count of the achievements of his admin
istration. which were brought to the
surface through the Fisher inVestiga-
ton hut of which the public knew
nothing
81 am confident, - continued the Re-
publican wheelhorse. ''that the Gov
ernor, too. has profted by this investi-
CATION, and that during his new term
of office he will take the people more
into his confidence than he has in the
past. y 5M rg
Only a Near Charge.
81 believe none of the Kuhio charges
were sustained, - stated E. A. Douthitt,
the Kaimuki Republican leader. "The
only near-charge that came near being
proven was that the Governor was not
quite in that close touch with the PEG
pie that he should have been. The in
vestigation, as whole, has proven a
most Statutory one, both for the Gov
ernor and the Territory, as it brought
out, like nothing else could ever do,
the salient facts of his administration
facts the peopIe knew absolutely
nothing about. -
When approached, Joe C. Cohen, in
dependent candidate for the senate,
stated he was so busy attending to his
political campaign that he really had
been unable to think the matter over.
A Portuguese Leader.
81 have always favored the reap
pomtment of Governor Frear," said a.
ID. Castro, ''and | nope that President
Taft will reappoint him before the fifth
of November. During the years that
If have interested myself IN certain
Legislative work, | have had occasion
to meet the Governor quite often, and
discuss with him matters of especial in
terest. His attitude in all these mat
tiers has always been broad and consist
emit with the practical side of things.
His messages to the legislature have al
ways contained progressive recommen-
datlons. The interest which he takes
concerning the financial status of the
Territory is a mater of great concern
to the people, for, We're his policy in
this regard loose one, our fnaneiai
credit would not be as sound as it is to-
days. His errors i'll office have been
merely incidental and not Intentional.
In my mind, his administration has been
one of strict adherence to law and re-
gard for the common good.
"Whatever laws we have had enact
ed during the last four years, which may
be regarded as sound and progressive,
are due to his efforts and intelligence.
Hawaii owes Governor Frear debt of
gratitude for all he has done, and in
my mind no better appreciation can be
shown for what he has done for Hawaii
than receiving the news of his reap
nointment with appiause -
