egate.

Charles X. Motley of Hamakua. pres
ident of the Home Rule party, In an
Interview this morning said that he Is
willing to be the standard bearer OF
his party again for Delegate to Con-
gress II nominated at the party con-
vcntion to be held In Honolulu in July
Motley was enthusiastic over his
chances and expressed his belief that
he would poll more votes on Hawaii
ut the coming election than would Link
McCandless, Democrat
Motley, who Is visiting his mother
In Honolulu. said this morning that the
Home Rulers will hold their conven-
tion in Motley Hall. July 30. AS pres
idcnt. he viii preside over the meet
ing. and according to the present plans
the work of the convention this year
will he much less than that Of pre-
vlous years. The Home Rule leader
added that other Home Rule conven-
tons will be held In Hilo. Lahaina and
Waikiki. all OF which will be presided
over by him.
Personally" he said this morning.
Il am willing to run again for Dele
gate to Congress on the Home Rule
ticket II nominated by the party OF
course, II the Honolulu Home Rulers
have another man In view, one whom
they think will represent the party
more ably than me. then they are at
liberty to nominate him any time"
Talks About Link. .."
Asked about Link. Motley saids that
the Democratic boss Is simply dis
turbing the dust early in the morn
ing, and before sunset he would find
himself so covered with II that he
would not know where he was at"
Motley thinks that Link Is starting the
campaign too soon and that before the
election comes the voters will forget
all they have heard. Such thing,
continued Motley. would not helm Link
at all In the long run. Incidentally,
Motley thinks that Abraham L. Louis
son, the Honokaa coffee planter, II
nominated by the Republican party
Tor Delegate to Congress. in the event
of Prince Kuhio refusing to run again,
would defeat McCandless, ..
i do not think that Link can beat
me on Hawaii" said the Home Rule
leader. Link Is like man who
sweeps the dust early In the morning,
and before sunset he win find that the
aust has already accumulated on the
spot where he had previously swept.
or course Link Is good worker, but.
unfortunately for him. he does not
know how and what to do, politi-
cally"
Motley said the coffee planter would
he the best man that the Republican
party can put up. should the prince
decline to run again.
Praise for 4 oiIi.son
II firmly believe that Louisson would
make strong candidate for Delegate
to Congress-neXt to Prince Kuhio."
said Motley. "Of course, Prince Kuhio
Is the strongest man that. the Repub-
Iican party can put up, but In the
event OF his refusing to run again. the
next best thing for the party to do il
to put UP Louisson.
"Louisson can easily beat Link Nc
Candless at the polls He Is well
known to the voters on Hawaii and.
with the backing of business interests
throughout the Territory. II IL certain
that he would be victorious"
Changing his subject, he said that
his coffee business In Hamakua If
prosperous and. with the completion
of big coffee mill which he recently
erected, the coffee industry In Hama
kua this year win become substan-
tial enterprise. Motley will leave for
MS home In Hamakua next week.
