KUHIO TELLS ALL
HIS PROGRAM
Desha Makes Public Amazing
Letter from DeIegate-RaCe
Issue Is Invited.

convention be made up of those whom
he could handle, has come from the
Delegate to congress, in the form of
letter to Desha, An amusing feature
of Kuhio's program is that he names
himself as one member of the Hawai-
nan delegation to the convention, with
Desha as another and as proxy hold.
err for the rest
kuhio S letter will be received with
amazement by the public generally, be.
ing as fiatfooted an avowal of his de-
termination to force the race issue into
the elections this fall as could be made.
The letter carries postscript, asking
Desha to leave out ''the improper
things when giving the epistle out for
publication, and Desha's break in
handing the letter over as received is
quite as bad n break as Kuhio made in
ever putting his ideas upon paper SO
frankly. The letter, which is certain
to figure in politics from now on, is:
Washington, january 10, 1911.
My Dear Stephen:-Yours at hand
and contents duly noted.
I Here l am in the wildfire, trying
my best to carry us to victory over
those in Hawaii who are opposed to
us, and the poor ones who are being
squeezed in our land.
Doubtless report has reached you to
the effect that the President has agreed
to send a man there to thoroughly in.
vestigate the charges which / brought
against the Governor. The President
did not agree to comply with my re-
quest willingly, because of the immense
power of those who are behind him;
but through my untiring efforts he final
ly agreed to send man there to make
a thorough investigation. 1t is evident
that the reason why the President
granted my request was because L stat
ed openly to him that off you do not
do what's just by making a thorough
investigation of my charges, then l will
take the matter up in congress, which
will authorize the sending of com
missioner to investigate my charges
thoroughly
The President knows that there are
important charges which should receive
careful investigation, and he is also
afraid that the congress might take the
step to make its own investigation of
them, and rather than have congress
do 1T he agreed to send a man there to
find out whether my charges are true
or not.
A Pulse Feeler.
Bear in mind, though, that this man
is not only coming there to investi-
gate my charges, but he is going to
feel the pulse of the six delegates
whom our territorial convention will
send here.
Which side will those delegates side
in with7 Are they in favor of the
Governor side which is jeopardizing
our hope, or are they on our side and
with our dear peopleH
If 1--WE" Could.
In my Judgment it seems that the
President is doubtful of his nomina.
ton, because of the names of Roose-
besides, it is necessary for him to have
the six delegates from Hawaii in order
that he may get the nomination fol
six delegates, then Wen be all right
our rights in our own land will be
recognized
Enlighten "our People,
My friend, / urge you to enlighter
bur Hawaiian people in this matter. il
is evident that the Portuguese, too, viii
stand with us in this fight, because o.
their interest in this matter, / woult
like to get the support of our people il
this matter, not only for my individual
| aloha, but for the benefit of those wht
are living in their native land.
Not Proper to Instruct.
would like to be one of the dele
gates to the national convention if
could get the support of the territor
lEal convention.
Here is another thing that I woul'
like to mention: 1t is not proper t.
instruct the delegates to the nationa
iconvention to pledge themselves for an
particular Presidential candidate. The
;'should go there with free hands.
1t is proper for you and all the res
'of the people TO work hard in thi
matter. 1t is best for all the Hawai-
ians who have pride and love dignit
ITO stand together firmly and forge
the past. In order that thev may hav

No Time TO Question.
Perhaps some of the people might sa,
that ~ am not Republican, that

this is not the time to talk abont IL
There is no question but that Presiden
Taft wishes TO get the support of tn
six delegates from Hawaii. Are we go

to come forward and show that the,

fore us this right which properly be

TO be fighting over certain political diff

we are incapable of doing things
