tania street and all his gang have
not died from laziness long before
this. All lumber and material re-
quired for use upon ;he roads should
be bought after proper tenders have
been ordered if this cannot be done,
then no one firm should have it all,
but the patronage should be evenly
distributed among all merchants deal
ing in the articles required. If l am
elected ! shall see that no Chinese or
japanese are employed by the Road
Board, and that all labor shall be
done by Hawaiians, Portuguese, or
other nationalities-but no Asiatics.
The place for the Asiatic is in the
plantation fields, and not upon the
roads to take the food out of the
mouths of the wives and children Of
our Hawaiian and Portuguese fellow
citizens. My motto will be fair
wages and no grinding Of the laborer
down to Asiatic prices. The laborer
is worthy of his hire so let him have
just wages, that he may bring up his
family decently, so that the children
will fill the parents places in the
future. Every day we see hundreds,
yes, thousands of dollars of the peo.
ple's hard earned money squandered
through gross negligence. But, gen.
tlemen, this will be remedied if you
elect Phillips, Morgan and Lishman.
While on the street to-day | was
asked by friend "if l was aware
that there were three Sans running
against me for the Road Boardp l
told my friend l was only aware Of
two; he told me if the two Sans got
in who hao their names on the list,
the third Sam would have all the
management of the roads; tumbled
to who the third Sam was and left.
| am aware there has been some of
the candidates on other tickets who
have asked you to strike off some of
my colleagues names and put them
on my ticket. They tell you they
want me to go in, as I am PRACTICAL
man. l tell you, gentlemen, they
don't care anything about me, if
they can only get there themselves.
1 ask you, gentlemen, to vote for ].
Phillips, James f. Morgan and Lish-
man.
Mr.. H. Won Holt said he was not
supporting an Independent ticket for
Mobiles. The only independent ticket
he would support was his own. "rhe
Lone Independent'-lone because
he expected TO be one of three sue
cessfuI candidates and not one of a
large number of nnsuccessful ones.
All the road board candidates wanted
good roads, economical expenditure
and equal privileges for all. His ideas
coincided with Mr.. Lishman's re-
marks, and if elected he would try
to carry out the ideas to the best of
his ability. He thought it only right
that the public at large should know
what the candidates of the Liberal
party were telling the natives. Mr..
Fernandez told them that being well
known to the wealthy business men
of Honolulu, he had promises from
them, that If ever the road board
funds ran short they, the merchants,
would advance any sums necessary.
(Laughter.) That was valuable
man to have on the board. The two
Sans had been to their employer and
asked his permission to run when
they say this is the answer Sam
Allen gave: "If the voice of the ma
ton calls you to act, | cannot very
well refuse, and if you are elected L
will not interfere with your duties,
and will assist you all can" Sam
Allen says that, gentlemen. With
three such men in The field 80 we'll
supported, it might seem impudence
on the speakers part to run against
them, but he was in the field to break
up such a combination and intended
to fight it out. A careful canvass
amongst the strong Hawaiian districts
had convinced Linn of his strength
with them, and if he could depend
upon support from the white voters
he felt sure of at least breaking up
the other solid ticket { for there was
no doubt.in his mind that the natives
as whole would vote that ticket
almost straight), and probably COM
ing in third with S. G. Dwight at the
head of the pole. Therefore he
asked the white voters not to forget
him on election day but cast their
ballot with his name having cross
againstit, and not to throw away their
votes upon those who had no show of
getting in.
Mr.. Jas. +. Morgan didn't know
what they wanted him to talk abent.
Road boards? Well, all he could
say about road boards was to men,
tion the three names-Phillips, Nor
gan and Lishman. They relied chiefly
on Mr.. Lishman's ability and exper-
ience for the practical work of the
board, but the speaker would see
that the accounts were all straight.
He was not aware previously of any
personal advantage in getting on the
road board, but since the remark OF
Mr.. Colbprn just then he began tc
think it would be a good thing to bf
