The Chairman said that speeches were
in order.
His Excellency L. A. Thurston was
the first speaker and was warmly ap.
plauded. He said Mr.. Chairman and
gentlemen of the Fifth District: We
are met here as you know for the pur-
pose of discussing and taking action con-
corning the politics of the country. What
| have been going through the last two
years and especially the last few weeks
makes me think of little story l saw
the other day. A little girl, three OF
four years old, said to her mother
"Mama, if l should get married would ]
have husband like papa?" Yes,
suppose you would, my dear" "And il
should not get married would I be an
old maid like Aunt Mary?' Eyes, my
Ill
mama with a big sigh, this is a tough
world, isn't it?" Anybody who goe:
into politics will think i is tough world
| think this country has, for the last two
or three years, been having too much
politics; rather more than its size viii
warrant, and what we need now is no
so much politics, and bucking agains
each other, and manufacturing history
as it is to do our best to cultivate thu
ways of peace for awhile. applause.
| think that the future of this country il
hopeful one. There certainly is n,
country of its size that has 50 large
proportion of intelligence among it's pop

the world where nearly everybody cal

n the world which exports so much per

'niy have the opportunity to be let alone

awhile 1t will be better for every one.
It seems to me that the coming election
S a critical one. This election means
hat the country is either to be allowed

gong for the last two years or it means
hat we are not going on in that road.
Il we cast our eyes back and see where
we were two years ago when the Reform
party came into existence, we will see
what We have accomplished and what
We must beware of. The Reform party

was, you know what the situa-
.lon of the country was then, and that
The Reform party has nothing to be
ashamed of, either in it's name or what
It has done. 1t has moved forward in

10 us pay it the highest compliment by
not only counterieiting its name, simply
changing it slightly, but they have stolen
It's platform. (Applause.) All the proof
that is necessary is to look into the
newspapers of the last two or three days
They started out to work under a kanaka
name and haole name and they could
not work under either and finally they
had to come back and take the good old
name of Reform and borrow ideas
enough to make a platform. (Applause)
Now gentlemen, when we see men
