Some Food For Thought In Hawaii!

For the intelligent people of Kawaii—if many there be—there should be considerable food for a flock of deep thinking in a Washington dispatch appearing in Sunday ■ morning's Advertiser under the by-līne of Harry Fraritz, United Press Correspondent. Particularly, the giant intellects of the Hawaiian Su,gar Planters' Association, who fomented the diabolical plot whieh managed to keep Hawaii in the Republican eolumn 'with Maine and Vermont — might ponder well three paragraphs appearing in Frantz's interview with L. P. Thurston, general manager of the Advertiser now in Wash--ington: "The (Democratic) senator in his remarks indicated that retaliation against Hawaii might result wlien mainland sugar quotas eome in for consideration again. " 'I didn't like the way he said it, nbr the look in his eye/ remark£d Thurston. "The Honolulu publisher went on to say that this senator's comment iīlustrated that, as time goes on, it woukl be better if Hawaii did not cleave too definitely to party lines, due to the misunderstanding such action creates in Vv r ashington and elsewhere on the manland." May we suggest that this Democratic Senator, the headtj r uarters of the Associated Press, the Federal Communications Commission and other interested parties are not going to stop with expresdng "surprfse" over the election outcōme in HawaiiWhen they learn how the Republicans maneuverfi£. and crooked their way into power in Hawaii through the Republican-Star-Bulletin conspiracy to suppress and distort the news, they are very Hkely to start doing something about it! It thus appears that the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, the Republican jpartv and alf its hired hands, incluaing the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, may have constructed in this election a Frankenstein that will turn upon them and devour them.
