conditions Of the country and the rela.
tion of the masses to the powers that
be could be best demonstrated by the
story of the two boys, one of whom
had two and the other three cents. The
boy with two cents said to the other;
Give me your three cents and I will
buy cigar and we can have a good
smoke" The boy with the two cents

The speaker said he was standing
on the Home Rule platform as nomi

That Three-Fourths Vote.
An awful cry had been set up
against the bad Legislature OF 1901.
II was impossible for the Home Rulers
to do any good and what they did do
was all bad. That cry had been preva.
lent at the opening of the campaign,
but he had noticed that there was not
so much of this now. On the stump,
the Republicans had chance to point
out the terrible wrongs the Hortr Rule
ers had been gullty-wrongs that ex'

his gang. II would now be the chance
Of the Home Rulers to ask the Repub.

last Legislature. The speaker asked
what the Republican party had ever
done for the Hawaiians. What benefit

rapidly. However, he did not wisl

done for the people could be summed
