a half dozen speakers and a great deal
of enthusiasm was manifested.

The fourth Democratic meeting was
in the square at the end of the car line
at Kamehameha school Eugene Sulli-

mense crowd to start in with but right
in the middle of the program the list of
speakers was exhausted and there was
nothing to do but wait for others. 5.
*. Kaloa, who was to make the prin-
cipal Hawaiian speech of the evening,
was half hour late in getting there,
having first to speak in Pauoa valley.
During the delay many people left.

and when KalOa arrived and began to
speak the crowd once more pressed
around the stand to hear. The principal
speakers We're Abraham Fernandez,
Fred. Weed, Eugene Sullivan and S. X.
Kaloa. When the meeting was nearly
over David Kanuha, candidate on the
Independent ticket asked if he might
talk to the crowd when the Democrats
had finished, using their platform.
Permission was given. Don't do what
they have told you; do what l will tell
you" was the substance of Kanuha's
first expression. He then proceeded to
roast both Republicans and Democrats,
particularly the former.
