VERTISER pulls MIN uOWn- II you /
think anyone else has more honesty,
industry and intelligence than my
self, 1 will vote for him. My friends, !
without vanity, 1 am a great deal
larger than the opposition in this
community. IL you have friends
that you think more suitable than
myself, there wouldn't be any par
ticle of bad feeling in me. These
dissatisfied men do not like the idea.
Certain people say that the Hui
Kalaiaina's ticket is bad, but the
reason they cannot give the reason
is, they do not like it. If these dis
satisfied men were girls who sit up
and say--they don't like me, [ would
understand. Applause But when
men say they don't like me, l can't
understand that. Applause. Now,
as my friend J. E. Bush says, that /
tell old stories in political meetings,
l will tell you now story exactly
suitable to dissatisfied persons
There was once in Egypt or in the
Orient somewhere, a district justice.
He was a good judge, because the
men with the longest purse, and who
used it, always won their cases.
Now, man fell from defective
window into the street and broke his
leg. He went to the Khedive to
make a complaint, but he was di-
rected to go to the owner, who said:
81 am not to blame; it must be the
carpenter who made the window"
The carpenter said it must be the
mason that did the brick work. The
mason said: Il am not to blame, be-
cause, while working, a pretty girl
passed by, dressed in blue, and
looked at me. She confused me
little" He blamed the girl for it.
| The girl said it was the dyer's fault
who made the pretty blue dress. The
Judge said: "Hang the dyer" The
messenger returned and said that
the dyer was too long and could not
be hanged. The Judge said: "Find
short man and hang him" That's
exactly the attitude of Bush and the
ADVERTISER against me. Probably
1 am the cloth dyer, but I'll live long
enough not to be der. l gave this
story for the benefit of Rev. Mr..
Bush. / don't believe those men
feel sincerity and affectionately for
your welfare-the Hawaiians-as l
do. If am not elected I'll try to be
of service to you outside; If elected
I'll serve you inside. Fellow citi-
zens: I have no doubt there are
other good candidates on other
tickets, but l urge you to vote for
that of the Hui Kalaiaina. The time
will come when Undertaken Kahoo-
nei will lead the funeral procession
of the Liberal party.
j. n. s. WILLIAMS applause /: Eel
low citizens, / feel myself to be IN the
same boat as Mr.. Neumann. [ am a
malihini. [ came here seven years
ago. Last Saturday evening at the
political meeting in the new Armory
] listened to Mr.. Dillingham; and
afterwards to Ashford; in the course
of his speech he said our men were
boodlers, opium smugglers and
blacklegs. Gentlemen, / don't know
which of that crowd l belong to. l
suppose / am one of them, but l
don't believe you think 80. The
chief matter before the country is to
maintain the present system of Gov
eminent and pass the treaty. / am
in favor of the present form Of gov
eminent. I believe monarchy is the
only fit form of government for such
a cosmopolitan people as we are.
With respect to commercial treaty,
we must have it. The country Is
naturally rich, more so than any
country of its size in the world. Ii
we cannot sell sugar and rice in
| foreign markets, where are we going
to be? Perhaps you will go back to
where you were forty years ago. L
won't. Respecting the National Re
form party, the ADVERTISER has
worked hard to get up an independ-
ent ticket, because your com
patriots are not suited to
them. They now run the
risk of new constitution.
Gentlemen, L cannot tell a story like
Neumann. This is my first expert
ence in political life. [ wish to in
form you that l am a Hawaiian sub
iect. Your ruin will be my ruin,
your prosperity will be my pros
perity, your queen will be my queen.
[ will wind up with few words. If
elected, i will do my best to further
your interests in the Legislature.
EApplauseI.
Mr.. BOWLER: / wish you to un-
derstand that L am candidate for
the road board. 1t will please me
very much if you vote the National
Reform ticket straight. 1t is more
important to vote for Mobiles and
Representatives than for the road
board This is a trying time for
Hawaii; it requires men of brains
and knowledge of law to represent
you in the house. The Liberal
party we see to-day trying to pass
over the back of the Hawaiian people
as they did over the back of the late
King. Mr.. Ashford was instru-
mental in forcing a new Constitution
upon you. Correct. They are
trying to ruin the Hawaiian people
for their individual benefit. The
Rifles were raised up by Ashford &
Co. for the sole purpose of keeping
Ashford q Co. in power. They are
plotting to undermine you again, not
using foreigners this time, but using
you as tools to your own destruction,
as they did your King. The ruin he
brought upon His late Majesty
