Convention.
The Republican committee, for rea-
sons which / will not now mention, has
seen fit to take an active part in the
present contest between Governor
Frear and myself for the reappoint-
ment of the former. This in the face
of my personal request to Chairman
Cooper, prior to my departure, not TO
express an opinion on a controversy
between two Republicans unless asked
TO do so by the Washington authorities.
Perhaps on some later day may have
something to say about the reasons
which evidently dictated this course on
the part of the committee. As for my.
self, am too good a Republican to
ask the party organization to take up
the fight. ] have honestly done my
best to present the reasons why the
Governor should not be reappointed,
and will continue to do so.

best business interests of Hawaii.
~ regard the Republican party as
greater than myself or even Governor
Frear, and think it's efforts and the eff
forts of the committee should be de-
voted to the successful promulgation of
its grand principles rather than to-
wards the success or defeat of the per
sonal aspirations of Governor Frear
GIN this connection I desire to say
have been assured that the admin

eff the investigation is made in a
full, fair and impartial way / pledge
myself as a citizen, as Republican,
and as n representative of the people
of Hawaii, to abide by the result of
such investigation.
"I believe as a good Republican I
can not do more. AS good Republicans
and loyal Americans, the adherents of
Governor Frear can not do less.

Governors Statement.
Governor Frear after reading Dele
gate Kuhio 8 statement of policies, ex-
pressed his pleasure at the delegate 3
change of mind regarding the matter
of Taft delegation from Hawaii to
the Republican national convention,
The Governor had little to say in conn
ment on the Delegated manifesto, be-
yond expressing the view that it was
certainly for the best interests of
Hawaii that Taft should have his
party's support here.

reading Kuhio's statement.
81 am very glad that the Delegate
has announced himself not only as in
favor of denomination of President
Taft, but as in favor of delegation
from Hawaii instructed to vote for
such denomination in the national Re-
publican convention. That, it seems to
me, is beyond question in the best in
terests of the Territory, and all Repub-
leans should unite on it.
"The interests both of the Territory
and the party are of course greater
than the interests of any one man,
whether the Delegate or myself or any
one else. /"
Send Governor Also.
eff Kuhio wants to 90 to Chicago,
7 say send him, said B. Won Damn,
one of the Republican wheelhorses, yes
terday.
''But as Kuhio asks for fair play all
around and wants the Republican or
ganization to take no sides in the whole
controversy between himself and the
Governor, then send Governor Frear to
that convention also, That would even
up things and the personal side of the
matter would be eliminated. F"
