of the so-called politicians INDUCING
themselves in vulgar phraseology.
The meeting was called to order at
o'clock.
MR.F. S. KEIKf introduced a resolu-
ton that the meeting make their final
choice between w. III. Cummings, F.
X. Archer and J. Heleluhe for can
didate against w. G. Wilder.
MR.. Publ desired to hear the cam
didates' views first.
r. w. WILCOX arose from his seat
and said that ne wanted to listen to
the speakers first, and if anyone at
tempted to put out the lights he would
take possession of the church and
would throw him out of the window.
The one who would do so is a Ounce
and ought to 90 to school again.
The candidates were finally permit
ted to speak.
w. H. CUMMINGS: Aloha Oukou.
We are three Hawaiians against one
foreigner. 1t IS for you tonight to
choose from our number whom you
think could best represent you in the
Legislature. Which one of US cares
more for your welfare? If Mr.. Archer,
select him and / would cheerfully
give him my support. If Mr.. Hele-
lube or myself, it is for you to decide.
If you select me, l will leave business
interests behind and would go in the
Legislature to look after the interests
of all of us. We must avoid personal
tiles; we must think we'll. l have
my Portuguese, European and Native
votes in this district. Are the others
sure they will get the support of the
Portuguese and Americans? Mr..
Heleluhe wants to amend the COnsti-
tuition, but | want to tear the COnsti-
tuition into atoms. Cheersl. If that
be your desire, vote for the Liberal
candidate. My party, in the last
Legislature, gave you the secret bal
lot system and the cantOneers. We
ousted that contemplate Cabinet.
Throughout the civilized world intel
ligent men are sent to the Leglsla-
ture. My poi bill has caused some
discomfort among you, but l assure
you my intention in introducing that
bill was to take away that work from
the Chinese and place it in your
hands, so that you can earn your liv-
ing that way. / wanted to benefit
the Hawaiians. TO day our gov
eminent is paying out over
three millions of dollars to
various government officials, and of
that enormous amount, only about
100000 90 into the pocket of Ha-
waiians applause]. The Liberal
party is in favor of national bank.
That's the only way we can emerge
from impending disasters. If the
mortgages on your land are due, you
can borrow money from the national
bank to pay your mortgage. The
mortgaging of lands has impover-
ished this nation. We want to issue
bank notes of denominations ranging
from 81 to $1,000. Before retiring, |
would urge you to vote for me.
Jos. HELELUHE: The Liberal party
is determined to have new constitu-
ton. [ tell you right here, they
wont succeed. The constitution is a
contract between the sovereign and
the people, applausel and if we set
aside the present constitution, we Vio-
late the contract. A violation of the
contract would signify a. breach be-
tween the sovereign and the people
and its promoters are traitors [cheers
The Liberal party know they can't dc
it. Applause. Many men of recog-
nized ability-men before whom the
present agitators are Liliputians-
have plainly declared that it can't be
done; but the Liberal party come be-
fore you and say that they failed las
session because of inadequate support
that some of them had proved Judases
They have talked themselves hoarse
about q new Constitution, but they
have not submitted their improved
Constitution to you yet. They said
that its no use my going to the Legis'
lature, because L am not fluent
speaker / would rather be q man OF
a few words than a gas-bag, q sound
ing cymbal as the Scripture says
LCheers. If elected, I shall serve for
everybody-from Hawaii to Niihau
our interests are all one.
FRANK K. ARCHER-Friends: The
Liberal party is pledged to promote
the interests of their own particuIa
clique, but l am for the people
[Cheers. The Government is con
Quoted for the benefit of everybody il

remarks of the previous speakers
Send good and capable man to tn,

correct. How are you to Judge q goo(
man? Are you to wait till he is il
the Legislature? No, that would b,
folly. They will tell you the SAM
story over again in 1894. Prolonged
Cheers. 1t is true a constitution i
an important matter, but money is
far more important matter. Withou
money we cannot exist. Can we de
pend on a constitution for our dali,
bread? If we annul the Constitution
we throw away money. Dear friends
