Tell People Sound Facts

was only in this manner that the
greatest good for all the people could
bo secured.
d. =. r. lsenberg was hailed with
cheers as he took the improvised plat.
forin and began to speak. He told Of
how he had been the one who had
stood out in 1898 against the poi
Measure, which would have meant
that all natives would have had to
come to the market for their poi and
that they would have had to pay dol.
lar for the amount they had been in
The habit Of getting for just half the
amount. He pleaded with the natives
to vote the straight Republican ticket
and 10 trus the Republican candidates.
They would do the right thing for the
country. Their interests were all here
and they would do nothing to preju.
dice those interests. He was a Ha'
Saiian born boy and he had the love
of the Hawaiians at heart. Anything
that would tend to promote the wei.
fero OF the Hawaiians he would work
for tooth and nail
| W. w. Harris spoke convincingly on
the relations Of the Republicans with
the Queen. What the Home Rulers
had promised to do for the Queen It
remained for the Republicans with
| their very small minority to carry out
and bring to fruition. II would be the
constant care of the Republican party
to provide for the former monarch Of
Hawaii. When the Senatorial Com.
mission was here and witnesses had
been called to testify as to the senti.
ment of the people with regard to com.
pensation for the Queen, there was not
single person of the many who testi.
fed that did not say the royal lady
| should be compensated.
The appearance of VIM. Aylett was
the signal for continued applause.
Like Kumalae, he spoke eloquently OF
the many failures of the Home Rulers
and showed where with the very small
majority Of the Republicans in the
House, more had been accomplished
by them than by the overwhelming
majority Of the Home Rulers. He pre-
scented before the people various bills
OF the Republicans that had been eth.
er killed outright or allowed to die a
lingering death on the table.
An old native in the audience asked
the speaker how II came about that
the Manoa road had been fixed. Aylett
replied that native of Manoa, Moe.
pono by name, had handed him a petit.
ion from the residents Of the valley, |
Isking that the road be repaired. He
ad offered to introduce il, but the |
lative was afraid 1t might be killed by |
.ne Home Rulers on account OF II hay.
ing been introduced by Republican. |
He finally got hold of the petition, in. |
troduced 1t, and finally succeeded in |
carrying II through.
The speaker dwelt on many other !
shortcomings of the Home Rulers and |
concluded with references to Prince |
Cupid. the Republican candidate for
Delegate. He said that this young |
man was like the aliis of old. He was
not the one to be found at any other
place than at the head Of his soldiers.
He was young man who would cry
out to his men: IF fall, walk over
my dead body and advance onward to
meet the enemy" He had heard the
word snake" used on all hands in ap-
plication to the Prince. He was
ashamed that any native Hawaiian,
known from time immemorial to be
loyal to his aliis, should use such
word when speaking of him.
Representative Aylett was most clio.
quent. He carried the people right
along with him and as he clinched
each point the audience applauded en-.
Enthusiastically. Mr., Aylett has the way
OF the old Hawaiians in oratory that
is disappearing to so great an extent.
From witty allusion he will again
plunge suddenly into the midst OF his I,
argument and with his little joke
drive home the fact he means TO pre- |,
sent. 1t comes natural to him and is ,
the result of intimate acquaintance ~,
with the peculiar temperament and ,
mental makeup Of the native Hawaii.

tongue and urged all the natives to |,
