Frear- plantation combination argument
facheco, candidate for supervisor, made
the keynote address, saying, in part:
1--WE have plantation. managers as
school commissioners, liquor license com.
missioners and belt road commissioners
and at last il is proposed that you by
/ your votes place on the board of super
visors of our county plantation man
ayers. Thus we have Mr.. Ross, of
| Hakalau, and Ahrens, of Hamakua, in
the field seeking your votes. If you
wish to follow the precepts of Governor
| Frear, who labors under the delusion
that plantation managers should govern
the Territory and our county affairs,
elect Mr., Ross, who will probably have
a partner on the board in the person
of Ahrens of Hamakua, and you will
then have two plantation managers to
manage your county affairs.
"'The planters control the senate and
the house of representatives, and now
they seek to have hand at what re.
mains, namely, our county affairs.
Should you elect Ross, it is only step.
ping stone to plantation control of our
county affairs.
A Fruitful Marriage.
"'Senator Brown is Mr.. Ross running
mate. He has been in the senate for
the last ten years, and the only thing
he ever accomplished was to fall il
love with Governor Frear, in fact mar
ried him, and the result of this love
affair and marriage was the acquiring
by Brown of six.acre lot at Waiakei
for a song. If you elect Brown, he will
| likely have the opportunity of getting
his laborers from our road board t,
finish his contract. If you elect him t,
