and many representatives of the party
who will have the work of the organiz-
alton upon their shoulders during the
coming fight. In the boxes were the
officers of the club and their families
and the invited guests. Mrs. Senator
Thurston had box which was filled
with friends, MRS. Senator Burton was
in another box with party, while on
the other side of the theater Governor
and Mrs. Dole, Mrs. e. P Dole and
Col. J. H. Boyd and MRS. Boyd occupied
one box and Col. Samuel Parker, Prince
David, Prince Cupid, Archie Mahaulu,
Senator Kanuha anu party of friends
had the Princes box on the left of the
stage.
In the main body of the house there
were men of every shade of political
opinion. Democrats had prominent
seats and Home Rulers elbowed dyed
in-the-wool Republicans. It was a cos
mopolitan gathering, Hawaiians, Am
ericans and Englishmen and the consuIs
of other powers resident here, all lent
to the meeting their presence and en-
JOY I'd the presentation of the facts con-
corning American political conditions,
J'F eGdress is full of meat. There is
--oe dry sentence in it. The people
appreciated it from the opening words
to the preroration and there were preg-
nant utterances witch mean much for
the residents of Ia Territory. The
declaration that Republicans must be
on guard was cheered Justify and yet
when out of the experiences already
gained Senator ThurSton said that he
would work for the giving to the COM
munity the revenues of our port, there
was cheer. The picture of the future
of Hawaii, as the outpost of American
trade and commerce with the Orient
again aroused enthusiasm and the
prognostication that there would be
millions spent upon our harbors and
naval stations was heartily applauded.
There was no other speech. The ad-
dress of Senator Thurston was so full
that dessert was not wanted and with
out any attempt to translate the re-
marks of the speaker, the cheering au-
dience was dismissed with the taste of
his superb Grafton lingering.
CHAIRMAN ANDREWS REMARKS.
Chairman Lorrin Andrews, in calling
the meeting to order said:
I'VE have the prouu distinction to-
night of opening the campaign which
will be decided at the polls in Novem-
Der next, by the presence of a gentle
man who needs no Introduction on the
mainland. The name of John NJ. Thurs
ton (applause) is known throughout the
United States, not only as one of the
foremost and most prominent citizens
of the great conn wealth of which
we are so proud to be a part, but as
one of the great leaders of the republi-
can party (applause), which has gov
erned our great republic for nearly
forty years. All are proud to follow
the lead of Senator Thurston because
we know the path he points to is not
only the path of success but that which
leads to national honor and prosperity.
Here in far-off Hawaii we can assure
the Senator that the opportunity to
have him in our midst Is an honor that
we all appreciate, and it gives me
great pleasure to introduce to you the
Hon. John M. Thurston. (Applause.)
