LIBERAL LINGO.
Ashford Attacks Antagonists with
Accustomed AspcrttN.

AutSC, dSStIlDltV hI i'lllO hdll Nhl-
urday evening, pursuant TO n call Of
the Liberal party. Hon. A. Mar
ques was chairman and j. Camara
ollicatcd as interpreter.
Mr.. c. w. Ashford first spoke,
largely repeating the substance of
former speeches on opposite candi-
dates in general and MIR. Dillingham;
in particular. Dillingham; at meet
ing the other day asked whether
politics would fill their stomachs.
"a voice-No, meiuheer.) BY voting
in the right way you will preserve
the market and your living. In re-
gard to the franchise, he had taken
a stand A. ainst these constitutional
amendments. Lately he had written
a letter to the Advertiser stating that
the foreigner should not be robbed
of his vote. The five men who voted
against those amendments were Ha-
waiians and are on the Liberal ticket
to-day. Dillingham; said he (the
speaker) had his carpet bag packed
and was ready to leave. But he
would say he wasn't going to leave
before Feb. 3rd and dark at that. If
Dillingham;, who is allied with the
sugar barons, failed, he would have
to leave with his carpet bag. If
Dillingham; and his party were elect
ed, to import cheap coolies, we all of
us will have to pack and get. We
will all be fiat if we do not defeat
this sugar missionary party. If Dill
lingham succeeded in bringing his
15-cent coolies into the country, do
you think he will give Portuguese 81
a day? Mr.. Marsden on his return
said to the Planters Labor and Sup
ply Company that coolies by the
thousand could be imported at Is
cents a day. Mr.. Dillingham; is a
member of that company. They
dared not discuss that subject openly.
The subject was referred to the board
of trustees and he believed Dilling-
ham was member of that board.
| They dare not show it before cleo
ton day. If you want coolies by the
thousand vote for Dillingham;, Cum
Minis, the sugar magnate, and his
party. Travelling over the railroad
he saw only Portuguese born in
China and Japan. If Dillingham;
was elected he will have l5-cent In
dia coolies instead of 25-cent Japan
coolies. Teixora, poor man, is
publishing Portuguese paper and is
charitably supported by the Mission
airy party. After election day, how
ever, you will see that there won't
be any more free Sentinellas. Dill
lingham is paying for that paper,
and whether it was paid by money
which they pay in taxes and into the
railroad or not he would not say.
But it looked very fishy. 1t is very
humiiating to see men of Portuguese
blood taking gold TO sell you into the
Missionary camp. Dillingham; in
conversation with Marques the other
evening said he didn't go into this
campaign for politics but business.
He couldn't get enough doodle out
side but he must GO into Parliament.
Dillingham; was so full of charity that
he raised the price of milk and meat.
No wonder he can give such costly
Christmas presents as $500 stock
deals to Thurston and members of
that Cabinet. If you want the home
market preserved you must vote the
Liberal ticket.
DR.. Spinola spoke next in Portu'
guese and was applauded at inter.
walls.
Mr.. f. B. Thomas had never aspired
to legislative honors but since his
nomination he had been around and
was more familiar with the future oil
the Hawaiian Islands. This is a criti
cal moment and if the Aslatics are
not taken hold of the mechanics will
go to the wall. Inside five year!
about 2500 mechanics of all nation
alities have left this country because
their services were not needed here
any longer. The Asiatic hordes il
the mechanical line have hurt th'
mechanics greatly. There were abou
800 Chinese mechanics in Honolulu
alone. Foreigners lately have beel
endowed with vote, privilege the,
never had before, because 1t was no
needed. But when the foreigners be
gan to vote, the Asiatic influ:
, stopped. The Chinese influx at Sin
gapore, prosperous town, crowded
the Scotch out, although it is said th
Jews cannot crowd the Scotch out
Do you want this place to be lik
Singapore? (No!) The opposing
, party say Thomas, because he is
mechanic, Is mudsill. He consid
cred himself fair representative o
the workingmen because he kne'
what they wanted, Did you eve
know me to hire Chinese or Jap
anese? If anyone can prove / Ii
, I'll enter hole and pull it in afte
me. Mr.. Neumann had said Thoma
{ was graduate of Oxford, but he ha
, 10 work at nine years of age. Nj
) Cummins is good man, but he
only good for giving parties, but
send to the Legislature, you might {
