the world-the solar system-is made
of sugar 1 don't believe it. [ have
heard of the moon being made of
green cheese: laughter that idea is
all exploded now. The sugar plant
ers would have you believe that the
sun, earth and. stars are all made of
sugar. There are other industries
that need protection as well as sugar.
The Liberal Party is not opposed to
sugar interests, but we do not want
them to utterly destroy the rice indus
try simply for the purpose of having
a few more shekels in their pockets.
They propose to introduce East India
Coolies, who can be fed for fifteen
cents day for each man. They ia
vor importing Asiatic rice free of
duty. Now this comes closer to
Hawaiian heart. If foreign rice is
introduced, the rice industry could
no longer be produced in this coun-
try, and the value of your rice kulea-
mas would go up in smoke. You
would lose the rental with which
some of you support a family. Will
you vote for sugar barons then, who
would rob you of your support? That
eccentric old lady, the ADVERTISER,
fed by missionaries, who teach their
children to pray: "Oh Lord deliver
us from Bush and Wilcox" has the
cloven hoofs of devil. Bush has no
cloven hoofs. You find that every
day inthe camp of sugar barons. Bush
and Wilcox have the temerity to up
hold the cause of the poor against the
rich. In every age of the world it is
universal fact that the poor are
always oppressed by the rich, and
Hawaii is no exception. The rich
proposes to keep the poor under his
heels. Those who preach the gospel
of socialists are the only ones who en-
joy equality. We do not oppose the
treaty; if the proposed treaty be ben
eficial to Hawaiians, we will vote
with both hands, but we will not
vote for a treaty that would cede one
inch of Hawaiian soil. Less than
two years ago / had the personal
honorof defeating treaty partingwith
your territory forever | resisted that
treaty provision. Il do not want to
throw away that last vestige of right,
merely for boys play; that's
not right, but curse. 1t is
difficult to attack the principles
of the National Reform party because
they have not advanced any now.
We have advanced our principles and
we have men who will support our
platform. When men say trust them
and not the platform, you are not
safe. The victory is in your hands,
and don't let the opportunity pass, for
heaven only knows if ever you would
see the time when under the Ha-
waiian flag you'd vote for representa-
tives again in this country. Every
vote against the Liberal party is to
stab the independence and life of the
nation, and to flood the country with
East India coolies. American and
European laborers would be out of
employment which is next door to
starvation. We want no East Indian
nor Japanese by the thousands bring
ing small poX with them [cheers].
Every vote against the Liberal party
is vote in favor of Asiatic labor and
ceding Pearl Harbor; its vote in
favor of the bayonet clause, and of
bringing foreign bayonets to quell
you in case you resist tyranny. We
want a new constitution. A consti-
tuition should be like rain and sum
shine, given for the benefit of both
rich and poor. If you want to enjoy
every blessing, vote for the Liberal
party; if you want to avoid danger
and disaster vote for the Liberal
party. This is momentous time; its
the last time you will vote indepen-
IDENTITY as q nation, / verify believe,
unless you send men against sugar
barons. The right to vote is the
highest trust on earth, and if you
abuse that right, you must not eX-
pect to be preserved. The Liberal
party has no ak to grind, no planta-
tions to flood the country with Ash
attic labor to drive out every other
labor. Our party is poor, yet we out
number the rich by ten to one. We
are hostile to no industry, but
friendly to all, if sugar barons but
have no railroad Doodle to hope for.
Aloha oukou. Prolonged applausel.
J.W. BIPIKANE: Gentlemen: Pardon
me if l address myself first to the
electors of my ward. Are you all
here? Let me ask you, do you want
new constitution? Few voices: yes
| only hear few voices. Mr.. Bull
lock cannot live under this cOnstitu-
ton. Oh, want to annihilate it!
Mr.. Kaulukou has said something
in person I'll knock him down with
my fists. Pve got more brains than
he has. Henry Waterhouse is going
to run against me in my ward.
Throw him away, he shouldered o
rifle. Bipikane is no fool. During
r. w. Wilcox's trial for treason, re-
duced the Judges to nothing. 1 asked
one question:; the jury were dis
missed and the Judges fell. Was that
the work of fool? If we are elected
to the Legislature, We'll cut up the
crown lands into homesteads and give
them to you for nothing. We shall
give you an acre apiece.
S. X. PUA: If the dragons gain the
victory on election day we shall have
just cause to bewail our misfortune.
None but us have the welfare of our
mother country deeply rooted in our
hearts. Cecil Brown insulted me the
other night at Waikiki by calling me
a goose. My arguments were too
pointed for him, and the only way he
could get out Of il was by calling me
goose. | can make him feel who L
am.
Hons. d. w. Pua and Marques and
Messrs. S. G. Dwight, Sam Mahelona
and Abr. Fernandez, candidates for
the Road Board, addressed the meet
ing in the order named.
Hon. D. w. PUA concentrated the
force of his hostile remarks upon the
president and the members of the
Board of immigration, heaping con-
formations upon them by the thou
sand. He said the YamashirO Maru
