around the island of Hawaii said
David Ewaliko yesterday. "Thr
Prince 5 intention was to only make
L.f,r, h,
ries. The object of this trip was to
Offset and answer the criticisms that
Doctor Raymond made of his present
and past administrations, since he has
been trying to serve this corntry as
its delegate to congress
j "The land question is a vital ON"
to the people of Hawaii and one that
they are all interested and well posted
on. In Doctor Raymond speeches.
he criticised the Prince for not max
ing an, effort toward having the Farm
ers' Loan Act apply to this Territory
Raymond also bitterly assailed tn"
Prince for trying to get a homestead
bill passed in congress which had been
killed at the last session of the local
legislature.
MI Candless Attacks
- KuhiO had just about squared him
self on this point with his constituents
and retainers, when along came Link
McCandless from Honolulu. In tn"
meantime Doctor RAYMOND was on his
way to Honolulu TO start his campaign
there. RAYMOND confined himself to
faeks SIN attacking the Prince but when
McCandless started in on the Repubh
can candidate, it became real fight.
MeCandless raked up all the ancient
history he could against the Prince

by the corporations and planters in
forests and that Kuhio had mndr n
speeeh at the capitol grounds in Horo
lflht last MhS openly criticising the
President, the war administration and
the general failure that thr Democrats
had made Of everything in Washing
ton during the war.
Kuhio Strikes Back
n - Following McCnndlrss memorable
'210 speech. .kuhlo came right ont and
assailed Link = patriotism and Amer
icanism. He said that Link had huu Iht
Liberty Bonds to "A very small amount

with interest. When it came to pro
position of donating to the Red Cross,
McCandless only subscribed %2lO. This
feature of the Princes speech crrntr,I
telling effect among the HnwnilnuS,
who have sons either over ~ Franc,

strengthened Raymond materially u
inong the old line Democrats. wh" hny"
blindly followed MrCnndlcss for NcHrr.
