MAKES A
LETTER PUBLIC

(Continued from Paqe "
by making thorough investigation
Of my charges, then | will take the
matter up in Congress, which will au-
thOrize the sending of u Commission
err to investigate my charges thor
oughly."
The President knows that there are
important charges which should re-
ceive careful Investigation, and he is
also afraid that the Congress might
take the step to make its own investi-
cation 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.
To Look After Delegates.
Bear in mind. though that this man
is not only coming there to invcs;i-
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 eide
In with? Are they in favor of the
Governors side, which is ieopardizing
our hope. or are they on our side and
with our dear people?
In my judgment, II seems that the
President Is doubtful of his nomina-
ton. because of the names of Roose.
welt, La Toilette and Cummins, and.
besides, II Is necessary for him to
have the six delegates from Hawaii
in order that he may get the nomina-
ton for President. But II we could
get those six delegates, then wen be
all right: our rights in our own land
will be recognized.
My friend, | urge you 10 cnlighton
our Hawaiian people in this matter.
II Is evident that the Portuguese, too,
VIII stand with us in this fight, be-
| cause of their interest IN this matter
] would like to get the support of our
people in this matter, not only for my
individual aloha, but for the bcneG,
of those who are living in their na-
| tive land. ~
Would Like To Be Delegate.
| would like to he one of the dele
gates to the national convention If |
could get the support of the Territor-
ial convention.
| Here Is another thing that would
like to mention: 1t is not proper to
| instruct the delegates TO the national
convention to pledge themselves for
| any particular Presidential candidate
They should go there with free hands.
1t Is proper for you and all the rest
OF the people to work hard i'm this
matter. II Is best for all the Hawaii
ans who have pride and love dignity
to stand together firmly aud forget
the past. In order that they may
have the right to vote for candidates
to the Territorial convention II is best
for you to advise the people to regis
ter as soon as possible.
His Party Attitude.
| Perhaps some of the people might
say that 81 am not Republican, that
belong to the other political party
but this is not the time to talk about
II. There is no question but that
Presiden Taft wishes TO get the sup,
port of the six delegates from Ha.
wall. Are we going to lose our besj
opportunity? We have been made
fun of, and the people here know al
about it. Isn't this the proper time
for the native Hawaiians to come for,
ward ana show that they are no
worthless and good for nothing II
their native land? Here Is before u!
this right which properly belongs T.
MS, and 1t is not wise for us to b,
fighting over certain political differ
ences which may eventually result II
our own defeat, showing clearly tina
we are incapable Of doings thingi
e jointly as has been clearly demon
