".ways tho most difficult campaign

lug- told in picture and story by C.
J. Riley, who is spondlng a fow

beria. Being an oyo-witnosa, Mr.
niloy secured a number of Interest
ing photographs, somo of which ho
had mado into slides.
Tho Austrian oppression, unconquor
'nolo nationalism of tho CzechB, their
loyalty to the Slavic origin, desor
tion from their forced participation
in tho Prussian army and the foima
tion of their own forces at their own
expense, are pages in history not
yet written, which will take thoir
placo with tho seemingly impossible
achievements that fill the records
of the past.
In company with County Secretary
Neil Locke, Mr. Riley Is visiting tho
schools of tho island and bringing
to tho boys and girls an outline of
tho circumstances and events which
surround the movements of this
wonderful Httlo band of men, stor
ies of conditions prevalent in tho:io
countries and personal experiences,
nro giving tho pupils an outlook
that could not bo secured in any
other way.
Mr.. Riley will glvo an illustrated
lecture next Sunday evening In tho

"GIVE ALL CANDIDATES

of Mauai, speaking at tho vari
ous points. At Wailuku a numbor
of so-called rowdies gavo him a bad
time. They constantly hissed him
and interrupted him in many ways.
In tho following letter sent to
the Maul News tho next day, 'Sena
tor Rico clearly shows his attitude
towards such actions.
"Lot us all on Maul glvo overy
candldato for tho delegateship a
fair and respectful hearing. Every
such candldato Is entitled to anil
has a right to expect an opportun
ity to bo heard by his own follow
ing without interruption from per
sons of, other parties or oilier fac
tions of the same party. 'Maui Ilo
Ka 01" means fair playing If It
means anything,"
