Young Men TO the Front.
'fThe Rice campaign committee is
making its fight on American lines,
and the young men of the Territory
bave taken the Initiative in the cam

every one in Hawaii knows that

the other candidates, tell what they
have not done or advertise what mis-.
takes they have made When man
Of Charles A. Rice = caliber says Il
shall work for the best interests Of
Hawaii, that settles the whole ques-
tion. Telling what the others have not
accomplished, or how weak they are,
does not help. Rice does not have TO.
The voters are going to do their own
thinking,
"Those who have the hest interests
Of Hawaii at heart will vote for Charles
A. Rice for Delegate to Congress. The
