Washington and / say that he has no
right to tell us that he will stay at
i home il he feels like it. 1t does not
| lie well in his mouth to tell the peo-
pie who elected him that he is not
needed in Washington when we know
he is needed-when this summer he
has been needed there"
Olson FRS Hot Shot.
! Attorney c, H. Olson threw hot shot
into the camp of Prince Kuhio in one
of the strongest addresses of the even
ing. The vote cast next Saturday"
he said, will be for or against the
real future of Hawaii for the next
two years. 1t is expected by the en-
tire territory that some Republican
will be sent to congress as the dele
! gate from Hawaii in the face of the
Democratic action that has been so
severely felt in these islands. To send
a Democrat upon this most important
mission would be the equivalent to
an Endorsement of the policy of the
Democratic party.
| Now, for the past two years Hawaii
has had practically no representation.

elected to attend to the affairs of the
territory. but he has sadly neglected
his duty. He is derelict on the polit-
ical ocean, For two years we have
| had no one in congress to speak on
behalf of the territory. Can we afford
to allow this state of affairs to con-
tinue? ] answer most emphatically,
we cannot! -. r. =. -. .<..... :&>%..
There is but one solution to the
problem and that is to go to the polls
next Saturday and vote for the only
man who can beat the Democratic
nominee, McCandless. That man is
Charles "A. Rice. -.a. -:
"A brief review of Kuhios past rec.
ord will show him to have been re-
peatedly aligned with the Democratic
forces. In his fight on Governor
Frear-and L am not mere to talk OF
the merits of either side in that con-
troversy- found Kuhio fighting
shoulder to shoulder with the Demo
Gratis. What assurance have you that
he will not hgain align himself with
the enemies of Hawaii and her indus
tries? None! Therefore, let me re-
peat once again that the only way in
which we can be assured proper rep
resentation at Washington for the
! next two years-or any representa-
ton for that matter-is to cast vote
next Saturday for Charles A. Rice for
the delegateship.
Former Senator w. j. Coelho, who
hand translated the speech of Mr..
Rice, made a brief but telling address,
speaking in both Hawaiian and Eng
lish. He told of his reasons for not
supporting Kuhio, whom he termed
my former friend" Coelho stated
that after he had labored hard on be-
half. of the prince the latter turned
around and helped defeat him tCoel-
ho) for job on Maui worth 5000 al
month, IF he would do that to me
how do you know he would not do the
same thing to you?" asked the speak
err Il worked hard for him in 1912
and he showed his appreciation byl
fighting me-. II he was not a friend
OF mine after ] had aided him do you
think he would be a friend of yours
Ii you once more sent MIN to Wash
ington? ! think mott He is only
friend to himself
Where is that federal building that
we we're to have in Honolulu? / told |
You long time ago. through the Star.
Bulletin. that If you didn't keep on
the hustle Hilo would beat you to all
federal building Was / correct? Twoi
men are now in Washington, | believe,
fighting for that building for Honolulu
but where is the delegate Is he add
ing in the fight? / guess mott i
Kuhio tells us there is nothing for |
him to do in Washington Should he
make the least effort he could find
plenty to do for Hawaii nei. How
about inducing the government to
build a military road around the is, |
land OF Oahu? The United States
army on Oahu is large and could find !
lots of use for such read. The citi. I
zens of Oahu would gladly use such a
road and | believe the government
would gladly build such road provid,i
ed We had delegate who would go
after things.
No, Kuhio is not the man and that
is the reason am asking you to vote
for my friend Charlie Rice" .%
