WASHINGTON, February 20. Whisky is siiiej to have Ifo.en the 1 . t 1 ... . . medium through which the new Senator from Kentucky, former Governor William O, Council Brad ley , swam to success. Tlrt charge is. made by disgruntled and disap pointed Democrats in Congress. It is maintained that the four Demo crats who elected the forniet Gover nor by changing their votes at the final ballot and refusing to entertain overtures for a compromise were or dered to do so by the anti-prohibi turn interests of Louisville. One report from Kentucky today is to the effect that a majority .of these four are engaged in the business themselves. As a result of this there is now under way a movement to incor porate in the next Democratic na tional platform a plank which will advance the struggle of the States for complete prohibition. This ac lion will probably, not be taken un less the bills now before Congress fails of passage. The election of Bradley has solidified the Democra tic vote for these measures, and if they get out of committee, where they are said to be slowly strangling, their passage is considered certain. In addition to the resentment caused by the reports from Kentuc ky, the Democrats feel the effect of the election in another way. The naming of Bradley is regarded as a body blow for the direct primary, for which the Democratic party has been contending for many years tieciviiam won without question in the primary advocating prohibition for Kentucky, and was as much the nominee for the Senatorship as he was the primary cho.-en candidate for Governor. It is history that the 'Democratic nominee for Governor was slaught ered at the poll.'. The ellarge was made at that time that the means used were furnished by the liquor interests. In the defeat of Beck ham the Democrat of Kentucky in Congn ss affect to iee the same mas ter band. There is now pending hefoiv the Judiciary Committee a bill which prohibits the shipment of liquors into prohibition States. The meas ures is being fought bitterly on the ground that it will undermine the interestate s commerce law in the first place, and, secondly, that it is unconstitutional for the reason that it abridges the right's of the indivi dual to govern himself. It is open ly acknowledged that the liquor in terests are making the battle. Another temperance 'measure is being discussed, especially among the. representatives in Congress from those States that have gone "dry," which will repeal the issuance of Federal licenses in such State as have voted for prohibition. In those States the Fedi ml license is easy 01 acquirement. lo questions are asked and the Federal Govern ment, through such action, practi cally declines to lend aid or en couragement to prohibition com-. mimities. For this reason the en forcement of the prohibition law is dillicult. ' Only a short time ago Senator Clay, of Georgia, a State which has gone'"dry," caught in the bill for the revision of the penal code a pro vision that would have permitted liquor to be sent through the nmilj and had it amended. It was open ly charged at that time that the liquor interests jyere? behind this legislation. This elwrge merely shows to what length the interests are driven to protect their business. As. for a comprehensive plank in the Democratic plantforni, Demo crats lure declare that Bryan, while not a prohibitionist, is for tem perance and will not oppose it. Beckham is a fighter, and little doubt is expressed that lie will or- gnnizc the delegates to, the Denver ((invention' and that the delegation will carry with it open hostility to 1 1n liquoV interests. As Kentucky i- now a pivotal Slntc in.tlmt it is wavering hetw'oj'n the two pnrtjcK the demands qf the delegation wl'l carry weight. As for the election in itself, .iside from the means by which jt was achieved. Congress "believes it is the gainer by the naming of Bradley to the Senate. The. new Senator is a man of parts. He is a tried debater and an eloquent orator. In the matter of jxtlitical astuteness, be is far and away the superior of Beck ham, whose experience has practi cally been confined to bis office as Governor and who lacks the finish that years bring. Senator-elect Bradley is redheaded and has Irish bloood. The combi nation is prophetic of excitement. He loves a political row' and will join the ranks of thoseMrtiw Senators who have kicked holes in the Senate tradition that new members are to be seen and not heard. But the effect of his .election on national politics is exciting general interest It is generally conceded tonight that it will insure the Kentucky .delega lion for Fairbanks. The new Srnat or undoubtedly will head the dele gation and the political debt he Re publican ticket owes the Vice Presi dent will. insure its enlistment-Un der the ludihnian's banner. F.iir 1 1 1 1. , nanus stumped the Mate last year,, prior to the, election, and his work is said to have aided materially in the election of a. Republican Gover nor. For this reason Tuft's chances of swinging Kentucky have gone glim mering. Thus it is that the feel ings of both Republicans and IX moerats are dceididly mixed. The Taft Republicans are worried, while tlie reactionaries aro pleased: the Democrats arc enraged over the elec tion of a Republican Senator, while congratulating themselves on hav ing such a representative Kentuek inn in the upper chamber. So it will be seen that Senator Bradley path is not to lie m pleasant places. Continued from page 1. Ho spoke of the need of training the hands as well as the minds nnd congratulated the- school ,011 the carpentry being done. The school government was another matter that met with the approval of the Governor. Governor Frear tokHho children that some day they too will be fathers and mothers and urged them to be good and true and honest and to love our flag and our country. He then granted the re quest for a holiday. Before the party dispersed number of persons took pictures of tho group. uarvy uornwcu leau in giving three cheers for the Governor which was responded to with' a will. The exercises at the school being over tho party went to the court houso that is in course of construc tion and made a thorough inspec tion of the same. Tho work there proved to be entirely .satisfactory 111 every respect and not a word of adverse criticism was made either as to the progress of the work of the nature of the work being done by tho contractor. From, tho court house an inspec tion was mado of tho jail and fire station. Hero again' were conditions that met the approbation of the party. It is boubtful if there is a jail in the territory that is kept cleaner and in better condition than the one in Wailuku. The only criticism of Jailor Welsh and his assistants is that they treat tho prisoners so well that it is a god send to many to ho sentenced to jail whore thoy have better food, better bode, and are more kindly treated than they are at homo. About cloven o'clock tho parly and a number of Maui residents includ ing Judge McKay, W. O. Aiken, II. M. Coke, D. H. Case, Hugh Howell, E Saffery and J. N. Keola went up Iao Valloy to the head of the wator system that was originally laid by Taylor. The roason for the trip was to call tho attention of tho officials to the fact that the intake of the water supply for the town find Kahtilui was below the resi dences of the valley and of instifii elcnjl volumejo mei t the require ments of "lhopeople and bring for cibly to their attention the easo with which the brokon pipe line mauka could be repaired. The water at. the mauka end. of the lino is of the best in tho island and should be utilized,' The SilrU'riutondimt of Pnhlio Works -was favorably impressed with tlio scheme and requested County Engilieer ILowelJ to' make 'tho.nooessaiy survey of tho line and send him an estimiUo r?f- the, cost of repairing the bfokopvlind. This will be done as' soon as' the field notes can be scnt'hiiii from the office '111 Honolulu. . The t vjp was made in carriages and was a most pleasant one. . On the return of t ho party 'a an opportunity rest was had and afforded for th - discussion 61 Hint ters 111 general. 1 - 'In the evening erovfl-of "J p"opie began pouring in from Wailuku, Kahtilui, Puunoiio, Pairt, Makawao. Kib'ei and surrounding districts and by the ,tini the Governor arrived there were over a thousand people at the Armory to meet the chief executive a. nil hear what he hud to say 'to the .resident's 'of the udanu. ' ' 'Tho entrance to the Arnory, the "grounds and the hall were taste fully decora ted with ferns palms anil a profusion of bunting and set off with Japanese lanterns and the whole effect' was a credit to the de coration committee and the many ladies and gentlemen who assisted in the work. ' On being introduced to the audi ence Governor Frear said the object of his visit to the island was,to be come better acquainted ' with the people and learn their wants and wishes from first hand. He and his party had been so royally en tertained and so cordially received by all of the people in every locality that he must admit that the mottSt Maui No Ka Oi was as much a truisnias ever. He said we have the finest stretch of cane lands, the finest mill, the best irrigation system in the world and one of the best pineapple dis tricts in tho territory that 'is 'al ready the second industry in im portance in the county. While the rubber industry gives forth every promise of being a close rival of tho sugar industry in the course of a few years. He had visited the Ku!a farmers where great stretches of corn and potatoes are grown and everywhere he had found the people progressive and hospitable. He said his knowledge of Maui extended over a period of over a quarter of a century when ho had come to Maui in a sailing vessel from Honolulu on a' visit to friends in Makawao over thirty five years ago. At that time there' were no steamers plying between the islands and no railrods in the territory. He said that then the mode of sending letters to the sailing vessel was by means of a bulloc'k cart and that at. that time 'there was -but one bouse in Kahului. In stikinir contrast to tho conditions existing then you now have regular steam ers plying between tho islands, railroads for your freight and as a means of travel and automobiles rush over the routes that were diffi cult for horsos in tho olden days and where but one house stod in Kahului there are now many bus iness houses anu one of the most active places in the territory and some say that the county seat may be there yet. Ho said "Never bo satisfied" Go ahead and let us get more. Di. abuso your minds of the idea that tho government must do every thine for us. The government is organized for-tlTo purpose of doing in a body what an individual can not do. Most, of what we get we must get for ourselves. The Federal Government has done much for us but not enough. The bringing of the Congressmen here was a good thine. We now have many, friends fn Congress wheie wo formerly had but few. The Secretary of tho Navy now looks after us where before tho work was dono by a subordinate. I feel that the government should make the harbor at Kahului ,n liarhqr equal to that of Honolulu.

T l .....,v,,,t Hi-ii. iwi you. ii you elect good honest business niens in fill your offices and especially suiSfr men as supervisors your county affairs will be satisfactory. Most of you war.t to see good roads built. In order that this may be done to your satisfaction and your money isiol wasted the men you elect should bo intelligent honest bus iness men. The Superintendent of Public Works is here to find out your needs. He i going to build more school houses and school cottages. The Commissioner of Public Lands ifc here to become better acquainted with the wants of the people in tho matter of the lands. His duties are very dillicult. Different classes of lauds are wanted by different classes of people. The llawaijitns particularly do sire tarolands while the Portuguese desire another class. The matter of allotting the lands and tho mat ter of acrege to bo given in each case is a dillicult problem. One of the greatest needs -of the tenitory is a greater interest i;i agriculaturc. Children should bo instructed in the larger schools along these lines. This work can be done in such schools as-Lahainaluna Seminary aud we will soon have available an appropriation from the Federal Government of thirty thousand dollars for the support of the agricultural college. Every year this;amount is increased by the Federal Government to the ex tent of five thousand dollars until the amount reaches fifty thousand dollars and then the amount1 re mains at that figure in future. Again let ine admonish you to vote for good honest capable men in ol der that you may keep up your re potation of Maui No Ka Oi. The Governor seemed to win the confidence of all who heard him as he has of all whom he has met. He wasfollowed by Secretary of the Territqry E. A. Mott-Smith who opened his address with tho remark that he had not expected to speak as he had been looking for the treasurer for the purpose of taking out a hunting license' as he fc.nied he would be arrested for shooting off his mouth if he didn't have a license. lie said there is 'not a country in the world that has done so much for its peo ple as has tho Territory of Hawaii. It is the wish of every friend of the Hawaiians that they continue' to progress. I want to sec the Ha waiians learn more trades. The one man among yotii who is tho most anxious to see (ho Ha waiians progress is the Honorable II. ".Baldwin.
