A highly representative meeting of

others Views on the political situation
The voice of the meeting was plainly
shown by the applause given the
speakers when they urged the voting Of
the straight Republican ticket frrespec-
tive of personal pique or feeling. This
was the sentiment that dominated the
meeting. The necessity of obtaining the
control of the senatorships on this ISL
ands and thus averting and overriding
the present financial crisis.

George w. Smith was voted into the
chair and took charge of the meeting.
Henry e. Highton was the first speak,

! he was a life long Democrat, his resi-
! dence of three months on the ISLANDS
had convinced him after a careful study
/ of the situation that the only measure

mocrat followed in the same strain. w.
O. Smith was the next speaker, making
! two principal points of the duties of all
, Republicans here to the responsibility

The voting of the straight ticket was g.
/ vital necessity.
George II. Robertson hoped that
every mechanic, Hawaiian or white
would read the reports of the meeting
realize the gravity of the 81 tuation aud,
with himself, vote the sraight RepuD-
lican ticket.
Richard Ivers, as representative OF
w. G. Irwin and Company presented a
resolution that as. owing to the pre-
sent it was necessary for the legislature
to adopt measures which would estab-
) lish confidence. That the Republican
party was so pledged. That five out OF
= the seven nominating senators must be
: elected and that therefore be it resolved
that the business men of the community
! Independent of party or other feeling
endorse and vote the straight Repub-
lican ticket on Tuesday next.
Mr.. Hackfeld in a few chosen words
2 heartily seconded this resolution.
Lorrin Andrews called attention to
, the proneness of new arrivals and even
{ some older residents to talk of their
e intention to split the ticket The lower
house was needed as well as the senate
j and he asked all present to exert their
81 influence to discountenance the split
2 ting of the ticket. All must vote. ir-

would be but shallow victory with a
