Beneath spreading trees on the sea-
shore at Makua there was held yester-
day what may be considered the first
While this was not the original inten-
tion Of the luau which was given under
the auspices Of L. L. McCandless and
Richard Gilleland, owing to the pres-
ence OF a number of the leading poll
ticians of Oahu, the feast took this
form and right cheering TO the hearts
of the earnest workers were the words
spoken.
The luau was a notable one, every
delicacy of the south shore being serv-
ed in the best style. and in addition
the barbecue feature was added, the
prize bullock of the table lands being
served to make the holiday. Under an
improvised covering OF cocoanut
branches the tables were spread and
when the guests had gathered after the
carried those from waianae. there was
no time lost in the discussion of the
feast there laid. There were nearly 100
persons who partook of the dinner and
it was past one o'clock before the
sated celebrators gathered upon the
benches on the lawn.
The affair was in reality rally OF
the precinct club of waianae and was
attended very fully by it's members.
But they were not all for a number Of.
Home Rulers were in attendance, ia
fact two of them spoke during the
afternoon. and from what they said
there is reason TO feel that the eyes
Of the Hawaiians have been opened and
they viii not consent to longer be led
away by promises which in the past
have been empty.
The meeting was not all sober, there
were merry moments and the fun was
to ~ ~ The speakers, some
telling stories which pleased and others
by their statements CONFUSING the au
dience. Thus one Home Ruler who
wanted TO clearly get at the Views OF
Mr.. Achi upon City and County governs
nent. later made a speech, the burdeT,
OF which was that the Home JsuIers
should not be blamed too much for
heir failure to put through good laws.
or. as he n4kgely said, "AIl the educat-
ID and intelligent Hawaiians Joined the
party. leaving the Home
Rulers only the poorer men who did
Tot know just how to conduct the busi-
less. They should not be blamed any
more than the intelligent Hawaiians
Who would not join the Home Rule
jarty and control it,"
When the feasting was over the des-
ert OF reason was in order and NJ.
1elio, the chairman OF the precinct
lub, called the assembled guests TO or
er and presented w. G. Achi as the
hartman Of the meeting. Mr.. Achi
aid that he and the others were there
1r the purpose OF. furthering the cause
T Republicanism and he called upon
hillip Manuel to first address the au-
ienee. He began by saying that 1t
as the duty>~Qf the people 10 get to-
ether and decide just what was for the
est OF Hawaii He continued In part:
The last legislature was composed
two-thlrds Home Rulers. What did
ley do for us? There has come TO
le Hawaiians no benefits from the
ITS of the legislature and now we
lould turn to the Republicans and see
hat they viii give US. The Home

I've seen what the Home Rulers have
II done for US. now let us leave them
I'd turn TO the Republicans and see
they will not help US. The municipal
,vernment cry is being used only for
bait. We don't know its fruits. For
y part / believe they would be bitter
ID sour. 1t would be better for you
you would vote for McCandless, who
Is money in the country and would

L. L. McCandless was introduced as
