REPUBLICANS CLOSED
THEIR CAMPAIGN
WITH A Big PARADE
CONTINUED from Page H.


the empty lot next to the offices of the
Hawaiian Electric Co. The fambeau
men were closest and they blew"
from time to time to light up the
square. The band marched around to
a position Immediately in front of the
speakers stand, stepping to lively
march. Upon hating, the band start
ed in on The Star Spangled Banner
every man lifting his hat.
The music over and the crowds hav-
ing gathered around the stand, Lair
man Crabbe mounted the platform and
in a few well chosen words, announced
the opening of the meeting and intro
duced r. n. Boyd as the first speaker
of the evening.
Mr.. Boyd impressed the vast audi.
ence with the gravity of the situation
and the absolute necessity for every
good citizen to vote the straight Re-
publican ticket. The Republican par.
ty was the party of progress while the
Home Rule party was the party Of
retrogression. Was any common sense
man going 10 vote for the latter?
The speakers dwelt on the Republi.
can party as representing the business
Of the Islands. Its fall would be &C.
companied by the fall of prosperity
and the reign of failure and ruin.
The Home Rulers had nothing to
offer; the Republicans had every.
thing. For his part, he would vote the
Republican ticket and support the Re.
publican party for that was the party
which put food into the mouths of his
wives and babes.
The chairman announced Col. Sam.
uel Parker. Republican National Com.
lmitteeman, as the next speaker. Az
this. there was rustling among tho
crowd and the figures Of Col. Parker
Prince Cupid and Judge Archie Mahau-
In were seen to come over the fence on
the makai side of the platform. They
had been unable to get through the
dense crowd and so went into the lot
got near the stand and then came over
Three rousing cheers were given fol
the national committeeman and when
the noise had subsidized, Col. Parker
started in. What he said was short
and to the point and 1t made grea'
impression on the people.
Col. Parker said he had not expected
to speak at the meeting but that Will,
he was at dinner he had received :
request from Prince Cupid to speak
He was there on the platform in ans
wer to that request.
Col. Parker then came out with thes'
two statements that brought cheer aft
er cheer from the crowds:
Il am a Republican from head t
foot
Il am a Prince Cupid man."
The Colonel then went on to say tina
: he was a friend of Wilcox and had re
( ceived favors at his hands, but he wa
convinced of the fact that he could &C
complish nothing for the country. vii
= cox and Home Ruleism had been trie,
! and found wanting. 1t was now tim
4 that Prince Cupid and Republicanisn
. be given a chance. II was time 70
the Home Rulers to go way back an,
b. sit down."
. The speaker dwelt on voting tn
straight Republican ticket and someon
: near by said, That's right" Col
Parker turned aside for a moment an,
answered, soto voce, Get out; your
talking through your hat. bet yo1
anything you're going to scratch tn
: ticket"
The Colonel stated 1t to be his belle
that If Prince Cupid were to be sent 4
Washington he would succeed in doini
untold good for the Territory. Tn
speaker next dwelt on the fact tina
= there were rumors about TO the effec
7 that he was a Home Ruler. He wishe
. to say once and for all that he was
5 Republican through and through. Col
] Parker then interpreted his remark
into Hawaiian. Upon leaving the plat
: form he was cheered to the echo
There is no question that his remark
last night will result in n change 4
:. favor of Prince Cupid in many differen
quarters.
:. Chairman Crabbe next announce
the candidate of the Republican part
for Delegate to Washington-Princ
Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole.
Upon ascending TO the platform, tn
Prince was greeted by the Quintet Gu
led by James Shaw which sang a son
especially composed for him. AS tn
Prince began to speak it could be see
u that his hard work during the past 81
weeks or more had had telling effec
for he was very hoarse indeed and
was only by speaking very slowly an
forcing his voice that he succeeded /
enunciating at all.
The Prince dwelt particularly o.
the record of failures of Wilcox durin
the thirteen years since his return froi
Italy. He had done absolutely nothin
for his people but lead them astra
and his last act was complete failuT
l. at Washington.
