"A. The chamber of commerce is to discuss kuhiO's
bill to provide measure Of home rule to Ha-
waii, whereby the Governor is to be elected if
the bill becomes law. 1t is high time that the
chamber did take the matter up for discussion
considering that Kuhio, through The Advertiser,
announced the intent of this bill several weeks
ago and has already presented it for the considera-
ton Of the house. No piece of legislation, with
the exception of the Underwood Tariff Act, has
been before congress so directly affecting this
Territory as this home rule bill With elected
Governor goes all the political patronage Of the
territorial departments, in four year gulps, Do
we want it, or do we not? So far none has ever
expressed either approval disapproval of the
Delegates plan, made without consultation, so
far as we know, with any representative body Of
citizens, political otherwise. The election OF
the Governor may be the very finest thing to hap
pen, but it ought TO be discussed bit in advance
