According TO recent issue Of the
Seattle Post Intelligencpr "Duke'
Henry J. Lyman Of Hilo did some talk
ing when he was in the metropolis OF
the Inland Empire. Here is the way
the Seattle newspaper served to It's
readers what the duke of HiIo" had
to say:
Hughes, preparedness and bona fde
resident officials, these are the three
desires of the people of the Hawaiian
Islands, says Duke Kaleiokulani, terri.
torial delegate to the Republican ma,
honal convention from Hawaii. who is
visitor in Seattle. Duke KaIeioka
lani is here on his way home after n
short visit in New York and tour
through Canada following the conven.
ton. Explaining the desires Of Hn
waiians, the duke said that they would
like to see Hughes elected because he
~ strong man and furthermore n
Republican; preparedness is wanted
because the comparative isolation of
Hawaii makes invasion easy; bona fde
resident officials are most earnestly
desired because the islanders are tired
Of carpet baggers.

Hughes, is the right man for the
place, there is no double of that. We
went to Chicago with one plank that
we hoped to see inserted in the plat
form-residence qualification for all
territorial appointive officials.
Swamped With Carpet Baggers
We want this because during the
present administration we have been
swamPed with carpet baggers who had
no real residence in Hawaii. but were
planted there just before being ap-
pointed. A great many of our federal
officials are Of this sort and we would
like little home rule for change.
As far as preparedness is concerned
the Pacific Coast should help in that
tight and even in our own fight for
better protection. Anything that will
make the islands more impregnahle
will also be of value to the Pacific
Coast. Personally. / am very much in
favor of larger army and navy. Nv
family also believes in preparedness

Also Mr.. Tully got a great deal Of
his Hawaiian music from residents Of
the district He visited me several
days getting local color and ] visited
with him week in New York on this
present trip
Duke Kuleiokalani uses the name
Henry j. Lyman when travelling and
in business for reasons which he SAYS
are obvious.
Although the last three syllablcs
are sign Of rank, "Kalani' meaning
literally "from heaven" we are mem
bers Of great democracy now and
name as long as mine is too hard to
pronounce
The planters Of Hawaii have done
well with sugar on account of war
prices, saws the duke, and through the
planters themselves. the laborers have
also shared in the improved conditions
a bonus being paid every man in pro
portion to the increased price of sugar.
