Out of the some 200 registered voters |
in the precinct there were forty pres !
ent, but they were all interested. They |
expected TO hear Kuhio answer the
question asked by The Advertiser as
to whether or not he would oppose the
confirmation of Frear's nomination and
continue his career of trouble'malIing.
AS to this, Kuhio said: 50 will not an
swer The Advertiser now or at any
other time, if that is what you want
me to say. / will say that the Fisher
investigation is more to me than the
reappointment of Frear."
But Kuhio at one time in his dis
course came within six words of an
swering the question. This was when,
after an attack on The Advertiser, he
said: ''You have heard what | said IN
letter some time ago, that II Fisher
came down and gave me square deal
and Frear a square deal l would abide
by the result.
The six words which would have an
swered the question and which kuhlo
did not say were, II will abide by the
result
Charging The Advertiser with mis-
quoting him in his speeches, and par
ticuarly in the one made at Hllo, ne
said: 81 will say to you now what l
said in Hilo. that so far as Frear and
1 am concerned, he is secondary con
sideration'

during his speech, which received
marked attention from his audience, as
indicating mis- policy in the future.

from Statehood and toward the time
when she will lose the franchise.
