He is a son of Scotland, race illus
trious in history, and Scotch blood
flows through my veins. / have
great many Portuguese and European
followers. L can wager anyone $500
that if | run against w. G. Wilder,
I'll get in, whereas if w. H. Cum
mings should run, he would get left.
[Cheersl. Search from Hawaii to
Niihau, you will find no enemy
against me. Justice shall be done.
[Cheersl.
Hon. A. MARQUES: (W. H. Cum
mings interpreting) This is my first
appearance before you, but am sure
am not altogether a stranger to you.
During the last Legislature, you re-
member, always voted in your ia
vor. have always favored the Ha-
waiians-the poor people. Did [ not
! perform my duty well in the last
Legislature? Voices: Yesl. [ am
known to be true to Hawaiians. Two
years ago I did very little because l
was not helped. The cantoneers are
my products. We favor new Con-
stitution, not, however, because the
present one is absolutely bad. F.
| K. Archer: Mr.. Interpretations are
not interpreting correctly. Mr.. Cum
mings-Come and interpret then.
| Don't you disgrace and beIittle me in
this manner.] We want to protect
! the local industries, the rice industry.
The three Hawaiians running for this
ward are all my friends and l only
wish they would all get in. Zap

G. w. ASHFORD (R. w. Wilcox
Interpreting [ did not intend to
| SnoaIY OF anu lannth fo-ninht I
| have a work on hand tomorrow
night. / did not intend to speak on
the Constitution, but as Helelehu had
| said that we can't get new COnsti-
tuition, and its useless trying, feel
that / must say something. II is no
new thing to you that this Constitu-
ton is unfair to Hawaiians; it keeps
the poor down and lifts the rich
up. [Cheers.] Here's a story. rat
this point one of the audience
rose to speak, and Ashford asked
him to wait q while. r. w.
Wilcox jumped from his seat and
ordered the man to be thrown out of
the window, but the mandate was not
carried out. He threatened to slap
the intruder's mouth, but finally
cooled himself down by exclaiming:
"Waikiki people must be fools.n
Mr.. Ashford told the story of a fat
dog travelling in the woods, and met
lean and hungry wolf. The wolf
complimented the dog on getting so
fat and doing nothing, saying
that he would like to have the
same billet, so as to get fat
and live in comfort like the dog.
While they were walking along the
wolf noticed the dogs neck without
any hair, and inquired what was the
reason of it, whereupon the dog re-
piled that it arose from being chained
in his kennel. The wolf hearing it
said: "Here / stop; I'd rather be lean
than chained" Gentlemen: One of the
speakers has said that the constitu-
ton meets with his appreciation. That
man is the dog wearing the collar and
chain. You remember the clean gen.
tleman that appeared before you to-
night-Heleluhe, with slender chains,
showing he has fat billet. [Cheers.
A dog ran wildly across the aisle,
barking, which brought out more
cheering]. l can't help thinking that
because he wears chains he'll make
you wear chains and collar too. Mr.
Archer is very estimable young
man. If they are your friends, are
they seeking to lift or keep you
down? Archer boasts of his Scotch
descent, but he does not inherit
the courage of his father.
If you desire to be lifted on the same
level with foreigners, now is the time
to prove it. Will you be satisfied
with wearing the collar and chains of
this Constitution Whoever says so
is the kind of man we can no longer
endure. If you desire respect from
foreigners, you must protest against
inequality. Declare that you decline
to tolerate it any longer. Don't you
want to be freemen? Helelehu says
you can't have a constitution. We
missionary party and the sugar barons
intend to utterly destroy the value Of
your rice-lands. Archer is an estim.
able young man, but he is in baC
company; he is under the missionary
wing. Archer: l am not. If yor
want to continue to vote for one while
I vote for six, vote for Archer. Hele
! luhe is out of the question, for he
can no more get into the Legis,
lature than hog can get int
this church through the window
Archer associates with missionarie!
and sugar bArOns. If you wish t.
secure equal rights vote for the Lib
: eral party. 1 trust you will have
good sense enough to vote for you
: own rights. Good night.
t Hon. r. w. WILCOX: The mis-
siOnaries have ruined us. They came
here with prayers and open bibles
) saying, lay not your treasures il
earthly things where rust and mott
doth corrupt, but rather lay up you
treasures in heaven where moth doe
: not corrupt. They said if we seel
after wealth, We'll be damned, ant
f heaven will be closed to us. w,
: have been deceived, we have list
ened to them, and the result is, w,
have been impoverished while they
have been enriched. The mission
aries are the basest foes of this IA
! ton. A wise man had said that
2 word to the wise is sufficient, but here
r we are night after night, and the PEG
:. pie are yet Indifferent. Pardon MT
for addressing you in this manner
4 but as Hawaiian, l feel it my dut,
to say so. The Kapalama district ar
