Carlos Long spoke of city and county
government, saying that it would mean
the solution of many questions which
now divide the people. He declared
that the Republican party was honest
in its advocacy of the measure and
that the candidates would do all in
their power if chosen to the legisla-
ture. The county form, he said. would
mean that in the eyes of the govern
ment, rich and poor were equal, and
each would have the same rights. He
urged the people to vote the Republi-
can ticket straight and thus give a
solid majority, all united in the desire
to work for the good of the people and
the territory
Representative Aylett was greeted
with cheers when he arose and began
telling the people of the failures that
had been made by the Home Rulers.
He described the number of bills that
had been introduced by Republicans
which We're allowed to die, or were kill
ed direct by the Home Rulers, and
showed that there was Incompetence
and worse OF their part throughout the
legislative session. He told the story
of how wher Moepono, a Manoa valley
man, had wanted to have introduced a
resolution bearing upon the fixing of
the valley roads, he had offered to in
troduce it, but the valley man had been
afraid to give it to him for fear the
Home Rulers would kill it. At last he
got hold of 1t, introduced it, and the
roads were fixed as a consequence of
his action, in conjunction with the Re-
publican members and the heads of de-
partments. He spoke at length on the
Home Rule system of legislation, show
ing the continued lack of consideration
for the people, and was cheered all the
time for the good points registered.
Frank Andrade talked of the contin-
ued failures of Wilcox in everything
that he had undertaken for the people,
and asked If it was not time for the
people to send man to Washington,
who would do something more than
draw his salary. He commented upon
the leper bill, showing that the people
were crying out against it, and urged
the people to make it impossible for
Wilcox to push it further by leaving
him at home. He urged support of
Prince Kuhio, as he would go to the
United States with the backing of the
dominant party and would succeed in
getting what the people want.
Candidates Achi and McCandless ar
rived late from the Waikiki meeting,
and spoke at length of what they had
seen and what the people should do to
make progress possible, and urged the
voting of the entire Republican ticket.
Paul Isenberg referred to the hard
times. saying that the people had pass
ed through a period of depression,
which was due to the fact that the leg
islature had been unfaithful to the
trust the people had reposed in them,
and they had not passed bill which
was for the true benefit of the working
people of the islands. The Home Rulers
mad made great promises two years
ago, but they had failed to make good
their words and the people suffered. He
said there had been promise of higher
wages, but instead the government had
to cut down wages to keep the Terri
tory running under the conditions of
Home Rule making. He declared that
he sought election that he might have
a chance to work for the Hawaiian peo-
pie He urged vote for Prince Kuhio,
who he said had demonstrated that he
was natural leader of the people, and
would take them along roads which
would mean advancement.
w. w. Harris devoted a quarter OF
an hour to discussion of the relation OF
Republicans with the ex-Queen. He
said in the platform of the party two
years ago, there was plank declaring
for compensation for her. The same
thing was in the Home Rule party dec
laratien, but when it came to the legis-
! +I, or of
Rulers that did not forget the promise
and the bill passed, taking care of the
queen, was that which was put through
by Republicans. He said that the gov
ernment could not fail to provide fol
the former monarch of the country, and
that il had been the constant care OF
the Republican party to see that ample
provision was made for her. He recit-
ed the fact that during the visit CT the
commission, when there were many
| witnesses called to testify as to- the
sentiment concerning the queen, not
single one but said that she should oe
compensated for the loss of the crown
land revenues. He appealed to every
Hawaiian who loves the queen to Wort
for Republican success for through Il
alone could there come benefit for hei
and the people.
WAIKIKI PEOPLE TURN OUT.
Waikiki residents heard the argu'
ments of Republican candidates and or
ators of the party last evening, gather
ing in numbers at the Kanakanui resi-
dence, for one of the best meetings Of
the campaign, 1t being held under the
auspices of the Young Mems Repubh-
can Club. There were scores of voters
who listened to the speakers and ap'
plauded their utterances.
L. L. McCandless was the first speak
er and he devoted much of his address
to a. discussion of the hard times anC
their cause. He laid stress upon the
fact that the failure of the Delegate
was from the fact that ne was not il
sympathy with any party which hac
a following in the United States. IA
urged the people to vote for Prince
Kuhio, who would have the strength O
the Republican organization behinC
him and could secure some advantage
for the people here He also referred
so the fact that the Rapid Transit Com
pany, which was now laying its track
into the district, was due to the worl
in the legislature of 1888 of the thre'
