AT KAKAAKO

himself loved the people in fact. Cay
,pless he said had done nothing, but had
contented himself with place hunting
ever since his arrival on the beach.
Prince Kuhio was praised, the leper
bill denounced and the speaker closed
with reference to the old saying that
an alii must go for what the people
need, which meant that Prince Cupid
must be sent to Washington if the peo-
pie would secure the recognition to
which they are entitled.
d. P. r. Isenberg began by saying
the allegation that he sought cleo
ton SO that he might work for a bust
ness house. He said that while in the
legislature before he had struggled for
the good of the people, trying to defeat
the poi bill and working only for the
good of the people. He said that what
he wanted was to see another boom in
business here. and then there would
be money coming in for the purpose OF
developing the industries and thus fur
nishing work for all.
Senator Kanuha was greeted with
mingled cheers and boots when he ap-
peared, and snake" was banded about
for a moment. He began by telling the
people that he wanted simply to let
them know what fools they had been
when they elected a Home Rule legis-
lature. He said that the only thing
that was done was to cry down" with
any bill that was introduced by a Re-
publican. He told how Wilcox had re-
turned from Washington and changed
the name of the party but he said the
tail was not big enough to wag the par
ty. and in consequence nothing came of
it. Wilcox's love for the Hawaiians
was a constant boast, but when he had
been sent to Washington his first rec
ommendation was of Caypless, mali
hini, for judge. Ng Mon Wars nomi-
nation was due to contributions and
the people We're thus insulted. He pro-
! tested against the leper bill, saying that
there would be thousands of lepers
brought here, and this would mean that
the native vote would be lost in the
votes of the new element.
w. w. Harris found reason to be sor-
ry that election day came so early, say
ing that otherwise the people would
have to go to the polls in boats, which
would be a lesson for the Home Rule
legislature paved the streets where the
rich lived but left the Kakaako streets
without paving or draining. Ridiculing
Wilcox's plan for forty acres of land for
each man, he said that Wilcox claimed
that he came from Maui, but when he
talked so it would seem that instead he
had come from Kawaihae. In discuss
ing the leper question he said Republi-
cans would vote any amount for the
unfortunates, but that another Home
Rule legislature would simply refuse to
pass any bill so that Wilcox might
claim that he had reason on the side of
| the leper plan.
| W. H. Kailimai, who was formerly a
Home Ruler, was greeted with mingled
j cheers and boots, and it was some time
! before he could be heard He said that
/ he was foolish before but that after
studying the situation he had come to
| the decision to vote and urge all his
| friends and supporters to vote for all
! the Republican nominees.
| Kumalae spoke at length of the needs
of the Territory and the dangers of Sc
lecting Wilcox again. He criticized the
| majority party as being unfaithful to
| the trust of the people. He showed that
it was a Republican who introduced
| the bill for the pensioning of the queen
and that all the real good of the legis-
lation had come from that side. He
touched upon the record of Charles
Motley, indicating that he had been en-
gagged in assisting in the Republic and
4 that his father had spent time and
money in the fight for annexation.
kumalae told story of how during
the plague fire Prince Kuhio, seeing g
woman in danger. tore off his coat anC
i proceeded through the smoke to hel
home and there broke windows and got
her out, taking her to his own home
and feeding and clothing her and hel
family. He closed with an eulogy ant
