man who asked his sons to work in
his vineyard and compared the Home
Rulers to the son who promised and
failed to perform, while the Repub-
iicans tried hard to do just what the
people needed
Commenting on Wilcox's declaration
that he loved the people, Kumalae
showed how, when the plague fire
came. Home Rulers did not open their
pockets, but it was Prince Kuhio who
had family move out of one of his
houses so that he could offer it to the
homeless, and that he also gave other
property and fed and clothed the poor.
and now they would remember his
hearty care for them. In closing he
ikened Wilcox to the dove sent out on
the face of the waters by Noah. and
who after two years absence at Wash
lngton returned without anything for
the territory Now he called on the
people to not send him again but to
send another representative, and
Prince kuhio will be able to bring back
good tidings.
W. w. Harris spoke at length of the
Ill effects which have followed the
failure of the Home Rulers to
enact laws for the people The
advice Of Senator Thurston to
, send to Washington man who
would be in sympathy with the major
ity was urged. In regard to local mat
| tiers, he said every man was pledged
, to stand by the platform of the party
and this would stamp the charge that
county government was advocated sim
ply as bait as absurd. He showed
that the Home Rulers had convicted
themselves of incompetency when they
made great appropriations and yet did
not provide money for their payment
In closing he urged the voting of a
straight ticket so that there would be
no trouble as to the completeness of
the legislature.
Frank Andrade pointed out that the
Home Rulers had passed an exemption
law presumably in the interests of the
poor man. and yet it had driven some
poor men to the wall, for Immediately
there had been a shutting down of
that it meant that the rich dealer
would simply add the amount of this
tax to the price of his goods. The
community, he said, wanted no special
legislation, but laws which meant
prosperity for all. He pleaded for a
vote for the straight ticket, and then
said that as Wilcox had led the people
for fifteen years and no good had
come from it, the time had come for a
change and it should be made at once.
Carlos Long traced his following of
Wilcox when he thought the Home
Rule party might do good for the peo-
pie, but he said he found that there
was no hope for Hawaiians in it, that
there must be an alignment with the
great parties. He said he had chosen
the Republican party because it was
the one that stood for protection and
prosperity. A government of the rich
alone meant oligarchy and that of the
poor alone, anarchy; but the golden
mean, which is what Republicanism
stands for, is government of, for and
by the people. He urged straight yot-
ing.
w. C. Achi made the hit of the even
ing with one stroke at the Democrats.
He said it had puzzled him why the
Democrats should now be supporting
Wilcox, whom they denounced so bit
terly two years ago. The reason lies
in the fact that he represents Is to L.
the 16 being failures and the l a sim
gle success. Inc failures everyone
knows, and the success lay in drawing
salary. He showed that it would be
necessary for the Republicans to elect
five senators TO secure a majority,
while for the Home Rulers only three
are needed. He said it was the duty of
the foreign voters to vote for him as
well as the foreigners on the ticket,
for he was a good Republican and
there should be no scratching. He said
Caypless lied when he said the Repub-
licans had never intended TO introduce
county bill. for one was presented
and he, Caypless, signed the bills
amounting to 81 400 for its translation
and printing. But it was killed by
Home Rulers After again urging each
voter to vote all the ticket, he asked
as well that they might try and in
fiuence some voter in the Fifth. so that
there might be a victory there as well.
L. L. MCandless, candidate for SEN
before they voted for Home Rule can
didates. He said that there was a fear
on the part of capitalists about in
vestments here The fact that leg
islature of Home Rulers had even had
introduced into it by one of the ma
jority a plan for tax of $40 ton on
sugar, meant that people abroad would
feel that investments here were not
safe. He set forth the great cost of
the legislative session, and predicted
that the Republicans would make the
record a much better one. He told
how the federal collections had all gone
to the United States and that the del
egate had received nothing back for
territorial necessities, so the shortage
of work and money had resulted.
After some music Chairman Andrews
called for cheers for Prince Kuhio and
the Republican ticket as whole, and
the people cheered loudly as they dis
