ment at the scat Of government.
81 do not believe there would be
need for lengthy discussion in this con.
test for nomination n the. people q
this Torritory fully realized just what
il meant to the Territory when our
Delegate, the Prince. saw TO 81, as he
Gays in his own words, that the inter.
view between the President and the
committee to Washington, was cancel
cd by him, the Prince. IL was indeed
commendable for our friend, the Prince,
TO have arranged the interview in the
first place, but / hold that it was trea-
son to the interests Of the Territory
for him TO have cancelled the interview
on his own responsibility.
Tarin Change Hurts An. s'fs
In the beginning, the opinion seem,
Cd to prevail that the removal Of the
sugar tariff or the partial removal
thereof, would only injnre few Of the
large plantation owners, but think
that at this time the minds Of the rank
and fle have changed and that all
realize that the hardest times Hawaii
has ever seen or will see will come
through an attack on the sugar inter-
est, and that those hard times will be
felt most keenly by the laboring classes
in our community.
Tho Prince is unfriendly--ad admitted
" soto the sugar interests Of the Ter.
ritory, and hold that no man shonld
be chosen to represent any community
who is an enemy to its principal bust
ness interest. II / were member Of
congress and was willing that the pros.
perity of my district should be assault.
ed--as the prosperity of this Territory
is being assaulted BY those who are I'M
friendly TO its principal industry. /
would leave congress, for ] believe that
would be the only honorable course TO
pursue.
To the Hawaiians
''To my Hawaiian friends / desire 70
say that this contest win have. more
TO do with the welfare Of the coming
generations of Hawaiian citizens than
anything that has taken place since an
nexation. The drawing Of the color
line cannot help anybody. The support
by any class or race Of people, of q can.
didate merely because be belongs ia
that class or race, without reference, ia

performance Of duty, Is decidedly un'
wise. The Hawaiian is to be commend
ed for his loyalty to members Of his
race, but the best loyalty to that race
is the loyalty that insists upon efiieieh
cy and industry on the part Of those
who are chosen to representatiy We places
and If our friend, the Prince, merely be
cause he Is an Hawaiian can succeed IN
H. Al i. -.
CARELESS Of the fact that he IL neglect

generations win equip himself or vii
feel that industry Is q necessary ele

/ Loyal While Kuhio was Loyal. Y,
The white people Of this district
have been loyal to the Prince from tn,
beginning and their loyalty was not II
any sense secondary to the loyalty 81
the Hawaiian, but the Prince eithel
through sickness, Indifference or ineh
cheney, seems determined to desert hi
post at Washington and has therefore
lost claim to the support Of the past
and should be willing TO give way y
someone who is ready to give his TIM
and his energy to the conduct Of public
business. a sf1Fs
4 1.-THE change is not in the voters o.
the Territory; they are still willing Il
support industry and efficiency.a Thu
change is In the Prince, who has desert
ed his post Of duty and who, in spite o.
that desertion, insists upon q continue
ton in Office without any promise o.
closer attention to business In the fu
ture than he has given 1t during thu
past three years. He seems disposes
TO Justify his absence from Washing
ton rather than offer excuse for II.
Vote with Open Eyes.
tHe challenges me and my support
ers to tell what harm he Is doing b,
mol. attendance at Washington. He call
on us to name bills that have been neg
lected, legislation that Is being aban
doned, thereby intimating that he i
doing his full duty, although absen
from the seat of government. This, m,
fellow citizens, Is frst-class evidencl
that he intends to continue his presen
program, even though you re-elect hin
to congress, and call on you to opel
your eyes wide and see the situation
Just as IL Is; and without unfriendlines
to him and without bitterness to tn
Hawaiian people, see to II that one !
chosen who, when absent from duty o
when Indifferent to the public interest
will not seek to Justify that absene
and indifference, but would at leas
have some excuse for It and make pre-
mise of more close attention to busl
ness in the future.
