chosen TO Congress six or seven times.
and during all his campaigns | have
been in charge of a large part Of the
political activities on the island Of
Kauai. AS proof Of the sincerity of
my support given him. am Troud to
call attention to the fact that. no mat

cred in their support. Kauai vas al,
Ways loval and its safe majority could

A Proper Ambition.
In view Of these facts claim that
there is perfect propriety in my ambi-
ton at this time. and mvseif and
friends both feel that 1t would he very
unfair for any one to claim that my
candidacy was because of any such
thing as racial antipathy. From the
beginning have been tremendously
encouraged by the assurance that there
was a general feeling among those
most seriously affected by national
Democratic policies, as we'll as be-.
cause Of our lack Of representation at
Washington. that my candidacy would
be given hearty support

Hawaii Needs Representation.
No district in the United States
with the tremendous interests we
have, or occupying a position any
where nearly so critical, is in such
sore need OF constant, vigorous atten-

sacrificed because of Indifference in
efficiency, or absence of our paid rep
resentative to Congress. Do you real
ize that the salary of the Delegate to
Congress is $500 a year, to which is
added mileage and certain other al
iowances, and do you not agree with
me that, in order to justify this salary,
Delegate should feel some responsi.
billy in regard to his presence in
Congress and his careful attention to
the work thereof at all times? / speak
thus on this subject in order that you
may be the more fully impressed as
to my views and my determination
should be chosen your Delegate.
Delegate for No Special interests.
" I'VE all realize that the Delegate to
Congress is, or should be. represen-

the man who goes to Washington with
expenses paid by some business Or
ganization represents the interests of
that Observation-Disclosures, / suggest
that it is best to largely do away with
the special representation and have
our interests more closely looked aft
er by our Delegate to Congress.
Appeal to Young Hawaii. -..
II cannot leave this subject without
saying a word further to my Hawaiian
friends, and | know that | have thou
sands of them in the Territory, many
