Desha Charges Rice.
stephen Desha followed and closed
the meeting. He told several Hawaiian
stories, each with a political moral, and
kept the crowd amused, even
IL be did not edify Il greatly. He ad.
vised the Prince to keep his eve on
Rice and not TO shut his eyes when he
did any praying, as Rice would take
advantage Of It. lie said that Rice is
showing himself greedy, inasmuch as he
was given seat in the house, then in
the senate, then in the national com.
mittee. and now he wants to hog the
las thing by being elected Delegate TO
congress. 49,. ID,
He then denounced Rice as trick.
ster and as one who had tried to pnr,
chase his support away from Kuhio by
promising TO keep his son, Desha Jun
Tor, at Washington as private secretary
He had spurned this offer, he said
During the conversation during which
Rice had tried to bride him, he had Q
witness, his wife, in another room, over
hearing It all.
Wanted Funeral
Desha said that the planters arr
abusing Kuhio for coming home sick
while II he had only returned dead they
would have been so pleased that eacl
of them would have given Eve hundre,
dollars to pay for big funeral. III
assured his hearers that Kuhio ha'
really been a sick man. "No man o.
any intelligence would have gone I,
the expense Of going to Paso Roble
If he had not been SICK he said, a
a clincher. t.@ .an ..N n.rU
He ridiculed the color line talk an,

voted that way, while the haoles did
| He pointed 70 the defeat OF Gabrit
Keawehaku in the fourth district las

being the only Democrat defeated an
the only Hawaiian on the ticket. II

Iprotestations Of no color line wef
Desha's following remarks He poin
ed out that The Advertiser was a
tempting TO split the Hawaiian vot
by boosting the candidacy of Paine
Woods Quite regardless Of the ia,
that Woods candidacy against MeCan'
less for the Democratic nomnatio
should not be a factor In the Repul
] liean primary contest, and that und'
no possible circumstances could Ric
Kuhio and Woods be candidates l.
gether for election, he said that Il
advocacy of Woods was TO allow Ri
to slip in by having some Hawaiian
leave the Prince and support Wood
IL this means anything, II means thu
the KChio men expect support fro
Democratic Hawaiians in the primari
and see only treachery in any Hawaiia
coming out for the Democratic nomin
ton. -. '
"The Advertiser and its crowd n
trying to split up the Hawaiians,"
said again. s
, He noted the fact that his examp
is being widely followed and maj
preachers are going in for polite
Doctor Scudder is praying for Carte
Rev. John. Akina is praying for RiC

Desha concluded by quoting Kameh
meha 3 motto; "Imua on mau POI
inu i ka wal awaawa ~ 0nwsT
