             "Vote No on ConCon"

The Legislature has succeeded in putting a call for
Constitutional Convention on the November 3, 1998 ballot.


The May 13 Honolulu MidWeek newspaper (a free weekly
distributed by postal mail) carried a full page ad
from OHA (Office of Hawaiian Affairs) saying
            "Vote NO on CONCON".

Here's the full text:
"In the last 20 years, Hawaiian culture and language
education have been re-established.

"Community grants and small-business loans wer made
available.

"New social and economic programs were created.

"All this progress is at risk.

"The proposed constitutional convention could threaten
two decades of growth and hard work.


         Hawai`i doesn't need another
          constitutional convention.
         Hawai`i's TAXPAYERS
             CAN'T AFFORD IT.
    Let's finish what we started.  Vote
              NO on CONCON.


Lower left corner:  "CON CON" in black bold, with
"Vote NO" stamped cross-wise to it.

Lower right corner:  OHA' logo, with
"A message from the Office of Hawaiian
 Affairs.  `Working for a better Hawaii`i"
underneath the logo.
