"'I told you sol'' comments Lorrin /
Andrews, discussing what he terms
"the hopeless and beaten condition of
the Republican organization, eondi-
ton brought about, in his opinion, from
the fact that the party leadership has
been placed in the hands of those work
ing for themselves and for what there
Is in it," and not for the good of the
city and Territory or of the party itself.
A decidedly interesting statement is
made by Mr.. Andrews to the effect that
a report is in circulation that one Of the
'salaried officials" of the party has
made a deal whereby Captain Parker
and A. s. Kaleiopu, candidate for the
senate, are to be dumped in return for
fourth district votes for Messrs. Rem.
ton and Dowsett the other two Repub
lican candidates for the senate.
In ell probability this statement will
furnish plenty Of material for discus
sion today.
"The present political situation Of
the local Republican party bears out
| exactly the condition to which / called
the attention of the white business COM
munity before and at the last county
convention, when | warned them that
IL they persisted in voting to continue
in power an organization which for the
last two years had shown that the only
wish of it's members was to keep in
power for the money there was in 1t,
they would, by so doing, destroy the
party" said Mr.. Andrews yesterday.
"Already this clique had alienated
from the party's support many loyal
workers from the rank and Ale of tho
voters, causing the party to enter upon
the present campaign weaker than ever
before. There was chance then to
rectify existing wrongs, and restore the
organization to the healthy condition of
former years. But the white precincts,
instead of investigating the situation,
preferred to vote blindly for the ticket
dictated to them by the so.called lead
ers, and for the continuation Of the
present party control, with the results
that we are now beginning to see.
Easy to Call Names.
cit is easy to call Charley Hustace,
Joe Cohen, w. w. Harris and the white
residents of Kaimuki, 'soreheads,' as
an explanation of their refusal to vote
in the coming election as puppets of
small coteric of men who have seized
the control of the Republican party
without following its principles, or liv-
ing up to its record. But what has
, caused these gentlemen to be 'soreP
They are men who, since the organiza-
ton of the Republican party in this
: Territory, have worked well and faith
, fully for the party interests, without
hope of reward and without having
, been paid salaries to do such work.
, Mr.. Hustace, Mr.. Cohen and Mr.. Har'
ris have held office at the hands of the
! people, and they have been faithful and
1 loyal to the trust reposed in them.
/ Party Still Sound
S "The Republican party in its princi-
a pies, and in the rank and file of its adj
e herents, is still sound in this Territory.
a But the support of the Republican party
at this election means the support of
}, little coterie of thoroughly selfish men
y who do not intend to carry out the
= principles of the Republican party, or
r to work at all for the benefit of the
! rank and file, but to work only for
= themselves. While the Republican party
c represented the people, while it kept its
a party and platform pledges, while it
n did not stand for fraudulent precinct
= elections, while it was loyal to the men
e who did the active party work, there
were no 'soreheads of the class that
this campaign has developed.
r "'When it is clear that the party is
/ under the control of leaders who do

pledges to the party or to the people;

a An Outsiders View.
C $50 far as an outsider can judge the
s present campaign is being carried on
/. on the theory that it can be won only
d by the wholesale corruption of the Ha
f waiian voters. This Territory, especial
i ly this county, is strongly Republican
h in sentiment. Ten years of party sue
cess has built up an organization that
IL under ordinary conditions, should be
II invincible. There is no necessity, in
, order to elect an honorable candidate
r. upon an honest platform, that party
II leaders should fall 30 low as to fee
:. they must corrupt an electorate to win
q the victory. If the Hawaiian vote has
, been alenated it is because honest
r. party workers, asking no reward ex
!. cept recognition, have been displaced
e by others who were looking only foi
;. graft; because the Portuguese, the com

i eliminated against wherever possible
