Kalanianaole'8 personal popularity Is
attested by the fact that in each of the
five elections as delegate his vote has
exceeded the combined vote of the
other two candidates.
Dele-gate Kalanlanaole is a cousin of
King Kalakaua and of Queen Lilluoka

the throne, he was created Prince, by
royal proclamation In 1884, and would
have succeeded to the throne had the
kingdom continued. He is 40 years old.

Each Summer the men who live on

an outrigger crew In the canoe races,
and time after time they have carried
off the prize as the fastest crew In the
water.
He Is fond of yachting and spends
much of the Summer cruising about the
islands. After his marriage in 1896. to
the daughter of a chief of the Island

In Congressional circles in Washington.
On no proposition-advanced by him in
Congress has he ever been turned down.
The affairs of Porto Rico are repre
sented in Congress by Luis Munoz Ri
vera, one of the most active figures In
that country in the long fight for
greater liberty under the Spanish colo
nial government. Delegate Rivera is a
journalist of p.ower and recognized
standing. He was writing for progress
ive newspapers of Porto Rico at 20. At
30 he had founded La Demoeracia, a
daily, published at Ponce, devoted to
opposition to Spanish methods.
His activities brought upon him the
constant attention of the Spanish au
thorlties during the ten years preceding
the Spanish-American War. and more
than once these attentions amounted to
prosecution. He founded the Liberal
party in Torto Rico in 1897. and In the
same year, when Queen Maria Chris
tiana of Spain decreed a system of self-
government for the island. Rivera be
came Secretary of State, and later prea
Ident of the Porto Rican Cabinet.
Under American control of Porto
Rico, Rivera continued for some time
as President of the Cabinet. Later he
came to the United States to urge free
trade with Porto Rico; and in 1901 he
established the Porto Rico Herald in
New York, and published it for four
years. He is now the leader of the
Unionist party in the island, and was
elected as Resident Commissioner at
Washington, in 1910.
The other two delegates are typical
Americans. De'egate Ralph H. Cam
eron, of Arizona, was born in Maine;
Delegate William H. Andrews, of New
Mexico, was formerly a Republican par
ty leader and member of the Legisla
ture in Pennsylvania; and Delegate
James Wlckersham, of Alaska, was
born, educated and admitted to the bar
in Illinois.

made the first actual attempt to scale
the mountain. The trip started May
16. by steamer to the head of naviga
tion, and then across to the mountain,
partly by poling boats and partly over
land. Provisions gave out after a
week's work at the attempted ascent
of the mountains, during which the
party reached an altitude of 10,000 feet,
had thrilling experiences with glaciers
and snow-covered crevasses, and made
many important topographical maps
later adopted by the geological survey.
It takes the Alaskan delegate nearly
a year to cover his district in a cam
paign. He reaches the coast cities by
boat, goes down the Yukon to the in
terior and goes in as far as time and
facilities permit to the interior camps.
So closely is the population packed in
the settled districts, however, that he
is able to tell by midnight of election
day, from the telegraphed reports from
the more important cities, whether or
not he has been elected.
Delegate Ralph H. Cameron, of Ari
zona, moved out to Arizona in 1883.
His appearance hardly suggests the
work he has done in the Southwest as
Sheriff, pioneer, trail-builder, stock
raiser and miner. Cameron was Sheriff
of Coconino County for three terms. He
located and built the Bright Angel
trail into the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado; and he still maintains it.
The position of the delegate in Con
gress has always been a source of
trouble. When the number of states
was smaller, and the territories more
numerous, the delegates were fre
quently in controversy with members
of the House as to what powers they
could exercise.
As a matter of fact, although the
Constitution of the United States pro
vides only for Senators and Represent
atives from states, and does not men
tion delegates from territories, the
delegate was authorized by the Conti
nental Congress in 178", two days
before the Constitution was adopted.
In that year the Continental Con
gress passed "an ordinance for the
government of the territory of the
United States northwest of the River
Ohio," and authorized that immense re
gion to send a delegate to Congress,
who should have the "right of debat
ing, but not of voting." In 1817 that
principle was put into a general law
by Congress, so that all territorial
delegates are now authorized to de
bate, but are prohibited from voting.
Plxlng Powers of Delegates.
In the earlier days, time and again
the delegates had to appeal to the
House to determine their powers and
standing. Henry H. Sibley, then a
delegate from Wisconsin, afterward
Governor of the State of Minnesota,
secured a memorable ruling in 1849,
when he took charge on the floor of
the House, of the passage of the bill
to organize the Territory of Minnesota.
Sibley's right to make the necessary
motions was questioned, and he ap
pealed to Speaker Robert C. Winthrop.
of Massachusetts. After a careful
study of the authority under which
delegates sit In the house and the
precedents which had governed their
participation in its proceedings.
Speaker Winthrop permitted Delegate
Sibley to make the necessary motions.
"It is clear that the gentleman from
Wisconsin has no right to vote," said
Speaker Winthrop. "The chair has had
some doubt whether the gentleman
has the right to make a motion. It
has, however, been the uniform prac
tice in the House to allow delegates
to make motions.
"The chair believes, upon the whole,
that delegates from territories could
not subserve the purposes for which
they are sent here, unless they have
the right to make motions: and, as
the law does not expressly deny them
that right, the chair is disposed to ac
cord to them the largest liberty."
Most of the questions concerning the
rights of delegates were settled long
ago. Practically all of the internal
problems, concerning lands, homestead
laws, settlers' rights, mining and pros
pecting with which they were former
ly so Intimately concerned, have gone
into the hands of state delegations.
Within another year there will be a
marked change In the character of the
territorial delegation.
It will then be distinctly the repre
sentation of the far-off people of the
United States. Already Alaska and
Hawaii are clamoring for "home rule."
The Philippines, in the demand for in
dependence, have many strong sup
porters in Congress. There are big in
sular problems to be dealt with in the
not distant future; and the delegates
from the island possessions of 'the
L'nited States will play an important
part in their development.
