Sanford B. Dole, the Congregationalists, and Annexation, 1902.

THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION.

On Monday evening, April 28 last, Governor Dole was the guest of the Congregational Club of Boston. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a sketch made by Dole of the Hawaiian situation. It is characteristic of the man. Having the full support of the Administration behind him he is not afraid to say in public what he has been thinking in private for many long years. Let us see and take up his points one by one.

Point No. 1.—”The monarchy was overthrown and annexation was accomplished for the sake of good government for the islands; that is, for their benefit.”—It is true! Annexation was accomplished, by a handful of Congregationalists because the reciprocity treaty between the United States and Hawaii was in imminent danger of being abrogated. The monarchy was overthrown, so as to save the $40 per ton duty on sugar. It was then as it is now for the Congregationalists:—Money before principle.

Point No. 2:—”We have given you everything we have by being annexed.”—That is, Sanford B. Dole, and his Congregationalist friends have given to the United States that which did not belong to them. With the help of an American cruiser, American marines and an American Minister, they have robbed the native Hawaiians of their country so as to enable a few Congregationalist planters to keep up receiving big dividends from their sugar stocks which would have been materially cut down had a $40 duty been imposed upon each ton of sugar. The Springfield Republican adds the following comment to Point No. 2: “But the second point that they have given us all they have is not at all consistent with his first point that they sought Annexation for the benefit of the Islands, and it shows that they are still trying to work the United States for the benefit of the Hawaiians.” Continue reading

Vote for John B. Enos (Enoka), 1914.

J. B. ENOS (Enoka)

CANDIDATE FOR SUPERVISOR

As a Republican candidate in the primary election.

John B. Enos is one of the candidates running for the position of supervisor [lunakiai] in this election season; he is not a stranger before you, O voting people of this county. He ran as a supervisor candidate in the last season and lost, but that is not something that made him step backwards; your support is greatly sought after in this primary election.

He was born in Makiki and educated at Royal School in Kehehuna, and graduated from that school; and he was married to one of the fine blossoms of his homeland, and he is working at his own painting business with only Hawaiian employees. This shows his true Hawaiian-ness, and his love for his fellow Hawaiians. Don’t forget him as the candidate for this coming primary election.

JAMES S. AHCHONG

To the Voters of the County of Maui.

Gentlemen: Upon the urgent request of my many friends throughout this county, to be a candidate for the House of Representatives on the Republican ticket at the coming primary, I hereby announce myself a candidate from the Hana District.

My principles and policies are to support each and every plank of the Republican Platform as adopted by the convention held for that purpose at Honolulu of which convention I was a member.

I boast not of experience, but with what little education, ability and zeal I possess, I assure you, and am confident, with your support at the polls, of upholding our motto of “Maui No Ka Oi.”

JAMES S. AHCHONG.
