THE DUTY OF THE GOOD CITIZEN
Charles A. Rice will be. nominated as the Republican candidate
for Delegate to Congress if the votersiwho desire proper represen
tation at Washington turn out and vote at Saturday's primary.
This is going to entail individual inconvenience upon some, but an
inconvenience that must be submitted to if the Rice voters do their
duty towards themselves, their party and their Islands.;; It may
be taken for granted , that the backers of . Kuhid will poll their
strength, down to the last vote; and a'trifling matter of standing
in line for a quarter of an hour to reach the polling booth' i not
going to be too much of a hardship for them, They are building
muchhowever, on the hope that the fastidious "best citizens" will
decline to get in line and be jostled perhaps, and they expect that
manv a Rice vote will be kept but of the ballot box for this reason.
The advice to the voters of those who hope to see the Republican
party led this year by a worthy candidate is to vote early and this
advice is to be taken in the literal sense. The bulk of the fourth
district vote should be in early in the afternoon, the day being a
holiday. If any large proportion of the voters" wait Until late in
the afternoon to vote, some undoubtedly will he lett.
The direct primary has been given to Hawaii mainly on the plea
of the voters at large" that they have not had the right heretofore
to decide who the candidates at the election should be.' The prim
ary doubles the value of the franchise, placing the nominations di
rcctly in the hands of the people. Now, it is the duty of those who
desire a better government for the city, ft better representation in
the legislature and some real reprsentation at Washington to avail
themselves of the chance the primary affords. .
A great deal depends upon the outcome of Saturday's voting
This will be the first election since Hawaii has been made a mili
tary dcoartment. with the certainty that upwards of twenty thou
sand men of Uncle Sam's Army and Navy will be stationed in and
around Honolulu. The ones responsible for the well-being of these
men and of their health and comfort are watching. The ones inter
ested in a military sense in the roads, of Oahu, over which the
soldiers must maneuver in time of peace, and fight in time of war
are vitally interested. The ones who must insist on a high standard
of sanitation law enforcement and order, are watching to see what
this November brines about. Voters who would preserve the poll
tical autonomy of Hawaii have the chance on Saturday and in the
elections to follow irk .November to demonstrate to the representa
tives of the war and navy departments just how capable Hawaii is
adeauatelv to manaee her own affairs and just how tit the local gov
ernments are Ao make Hawaii safe'and pleasant foV the men of the
Army and the Navy, and jnst what cooperation between the mill
Urv and civil authorities is to be looicea tor, . . . -
Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of every voter
. voting on Saturday., ;" r.-' ;- ; ,, .. ..',. ,
CAN KUHIO PROPERLY REPRESENT HAWAII ?,
From the plantation standpoint and so long'as sugar produc
tion is the dominant industry of Hawaii, why not look at the poll
tical situation frankly from the standpoint of the bread and butter
of these Islands Kuhio, standing alone, does not measure up to
the standard of ability that Hawaii's Delegate t6 Congress should
possess. )." . ,. - .j. . : v i -.'.. s
Although Kuhio has represented Hawaii in Washington contin
uously for twelve years ,he is remarkably, ignorant of the simplest
fundamentals of Hawaiian agriculture, commerce and development
Not only does he know nothing of the past," What cart he tell any
man of the business life of Hawaii' of today let alone that of the
future?,. :.v-: .1 '. ,: 'v-' - 'J
When the pineapple industry was fighting for protection did Ku
hio add one fact or one figure to the testimony, or was he able to
enlighten the ways and means committee as to' the difficulties that
had to be overcome to put this, industry on a solid basis? ife may
point to a statement made over his signature in the Record, but h
neither wrote it nor knew t was going in. .
When the army appropriations were before congress, was it Ku
hio who fought them through the house and senate, pr was it th
American people who demanded that Oahu should be made a for-
tress tor, national aeien.se r. , ,,.
Kuhio did not know and does not know the details, or the essen
tials, of any Hawaiian industry, past or present.
Speaking at a public meeting in this city a few days ago Kuhio
stated in plain English that the sugar planters of. Hawaii- do not
pay homesteaders a reasonable price' for their cane. lie does not
know how much thev do oav. or what is the basis of payment. He
cannot tell what the Louisiana, Cuban or Porto Rican planters pay
for cane? He does not know the price paid for beets in California
Colorado, France or Germany, nor. the basis 'bn which beet, prices
are determined, . .
Kuhio does not know what it costs to produce a ton of sugar,
a case of pineapples, or a bag of coffee? He could have learaed
these things during his twelve years of public service. Has he done
so? , "' -' ., '; ' ,' '
Kuhio does not know any facts or figures in regard to the promo
tion work and the tourist trade. He is ignorant of Hawaii shar
bors and wharves. ' When any department in Washington require
facts and figures about Hawaii do they ask,Kuhio?v
. Hawaii is coing ahead. We . cannot afford to send Kuhio to
Washington to again misrepresent this Territory.
Kuhio is a pleasant companion, a good sport and all that, but
Hawaii's business interests now. demand a business representative
Weust have .one now, or suffer. ' ;
Indications are-multiplying that the desperate attempt on the
part of Kuhio s leading lieutenants, Stephen Desha and John Wise
to mislead the Hawaiian electorate and create political strength for
their chief by fostering a belief that in some way the nomination
of Charles A. Rice would be inimical to the'llawaiians as 'a race,
has fallen flat. Desha and Wise have taken for granted once again
that the Hawaiian voter is incapable of thinking for himself and
foolish enough to. believe that black is white if only told so, and
the vote which will be registered in the strictly Hawaiian precincts
of the Territory on Saturday next is going to be a liberal education
to many, including Desha and Wise. It is going to demonstrate
the fact that the Hawaiian voter is clear-thinking and independent,
with as keen a knowledge of the good and the bad points of the
candidates as many and more so , than some who believe them
svlves politically wise, v . . '
