Immense and Enthusiastic Audience.
The Republican mass meeting start
ed out well last evening but ended
rather slow. The trouble was that the
speeches were entirely too long. At
the end of the third speech it was 9:45
o'clock and the audience had had quite
enough. The next speaker arose to
see a long line of humanity leaving t
hall, and before the program was over
the audience was rather slim. Nc
Giants Stewart talked for nearly an
hour.
The drill shed has seldom held a larg-
er audience than it did at o'clock last
evening. A number of ladies were
present. There was a slight sprinkling
of Democrats and Independents in the
back of the house, though the majority
of those present were Republican Vot-
ers.
There was a slight delay on account
of the nOn-arrival of Colonel Sam.
Parker, the first speaker. When the
delegate to Congress did arrive in the
hall he was greeted by an immense
outburst of applause. His address was
short and to the point. William Hay
wood made a strong argument for the
party platform, analysing it by sec
tions. Mr.. Stewart spoke of the great
parties on the mainland and the Re-
publican platform. George r.. Carter
made an earnest appeal for the party.
Kumulae spoke in Hawaiian, explain
ing the platform and urging his coun-
trymen to support it.
LOrrin Andrews presided at the
meeting. Excellent music was provid-
ed by the Republican quartette and
by an orchestra of the Hawaiian band.
The speech of Colonel Sam. Parker was
as follows:
II have just q few remarks to make.
There are in this audience those who
differ with me politically. All 1 would
ask of those who know me and who do
differ with my views. is not to feel
hurt at anything 1 say about them or
their parties.
Now fellow Republicans we have a
contract on our hands; pardon me if l
call it by that name. The Democrats
are in the field, and the Independents
are represented by a man named Will
co. He is the one we have to be afraid
of. Unless we work together in this
campaign we may as well close our
doors and let Wilcox go to Washing
ton.
IF 1 am elected 1 will do the best L
can to further the interests of our Ter
ritory of Hawaii, for the benefit of all
parties not for any club or party or
Individual Not for the Democrats or
the Independents, but for all But we
won't be able to do this unless we all
work and pull together to the end.
Il am not ashamed to ask the Demo-
Gratis to come in and join us Qaughter).
Although l don't agree with them po-
litically, they are my friends. | know
the Hawaiians, and as l am yet
young man, 1 know l can go among
them and get them to vote for the Re
publican party. 1t is as l said to the
President a short time since-the Ha-
waiians here need cultivation; l say so
now.
I'VE have done we'll here in short
time with the organization of the Re-
publican party. But we must continue
that splendid work. You all know
what we need for our harbors Here
is the harbor of Honolulu, there is an
other at Hilo, at Kona, at kahulul' or
perhaps Kihei. They need improve
ment. Whether they will be improved
or not depends upon the result of the
ballot in November. How can we do
it? BY sending an Independent dele
gate to Congress? No sir. Shall we
send a Democrat? No, sir. We must
send a Republican. (Applause). You
will say 1 am working for myself. Inc
fact is 1 am ready to bow down to YOU
ana WOTh lOI any man "S iO-2
as he is a Republican. (Applause). L
see the Independents are smiling. Let
them smile while they can.
II will do all in my power to help the
Republican party. will go around the
Island of Hawaii stumping for the par
ty. That is my home. | was porn
there 1 know that my Island needs
lots of hustling. My friends say don
mind Prince David, he is having good
time over there. That is all right; let
him work. l will work, too.
1.-THE Hawaiians are being misled by
Wilcox. 1 like Wilcox as a friend, but
as a statesman-well, l think he had
better stay at home, rather than pc
sent on to Washington. Personally,
am sorry that l am pitted against Da-
Vid When he went to Hawaii, saiu
to him, Don't rub up against the ola
man too much, for if you do you may
never see Hilo. Oaughter) There are
lots of wild cowboys down there and
they may get after you. He sald'
We'll I'm going; we want to defeat
Wilcox. If l win 1 will treat you TO a
glass of soda, or something like that.
Gaughter).
There are only two parties recog-
niZed in the United States, the Repup-
lican and the Democratic. or them
YOU can take your choice, but l know
bv YOUR looks you are all Republicans.
(Applause.) If keep on speaking mere
in Honolulu by the time l reach Hawai-
they will say 1 am an old chestnut 1
am not a speaker. All | ask OF you Is
70 null together. Remember we have
not got a sure thing. Unless we work
hard, and invite some of our Demo-
cratic friends in to join us, we may be
defeated by Wilcox. Just day or two
ago few of them came to me and
said, We will vote for you Sam, you
can be sure of that
