Dreier's Principles Good
The next speech was made by J. NJ.
Poepoe. who spoke as follows:
II want to speak to you OF August
Dreier as one of us. He came here
many years ago, he has lived here for
many years and he married a Hawaiian
woman. Dreier is a German by ma
tionality. II is we'll known that all Eu-
ropean men have open hearts. In Eu-
rope a man with dark skin Is not
called a negro. do not know on
which side Mr.. Dreier is today but I
know what principles he has express
ed and as know those to be good es-
pouse them. Dreier was a member Of
the House of Mobiles in 1892. In 1898
when there were none but Republic
cans in the Legislature, in seventy day
they passed only tewnty laws. During
the last Legislature there we're three
parties represented and the proceed
ings we're hampered by continued
fights, and yet twenty-five laws were
passed. Still they say that the Home
Rulers were responsible for the fact
that so few laws were passed. am
not Home Ruler and not Repub-
llcan nor a Democrat. That is not the
question at all.
Dreier a Fit Candidate.
1T is said that Dreier Is not At
candidate for the Legislature because
be cant write. II he does not know
how today how is II that ne knew how
in 1892? It is said that he can't read.
How was IL he could read in 1892? II
is also said that he Is not suited to
run because he is not registered vot-
er. My idea is that he is perfectly
eligible TO run. There was a registra-
ton board at the last election. This
board was appointed by the Governor
to register the voters Of the various
districts. There is a board of registra-
ton yet and It is its duty to call thu
voters to come and get down their
names as registered voters. They have
neglected TO do their duty but that is
not Dreier's fault. II is the fault Of the
government because the time has come
when they should sit again according
20 law"
Dreier Represents the Planters.
The Home Rule party promised to
provide for the reimbursement OF the
losses from the plague fire. The Home
Rule party carried out It's promise. 1t
was the same party which is RESPONSE
BILE for the doing away with the garni-
shee law by which the employer could
levy on the poor mans wages. II is
large subject which confronts us.
Dreier is the proper man to run for us.
First, because he represents the sugar
planters. Sugar is the main industry
OF these Islands and II the sugar inter-
ests should suffer We would soon be in
| see today under the missionary rule.
Second, the pockets OF the rich man
a-e shut today. II was said that II tho
Republicans got into power this state
| Of affairs would be entirely done away
with and that money would be free.
How is II now? There is no money in
the country. II there are any more
Republicans In the Legislature will
that improve the situation?
Favors a Special Session.
"Dreier makes the statement that Il
he is elected he will ask the Governor
that special session be called for tho
/ purpose OF appropriating funds for
public improvements. That one rea-
son alone makes him the right man for
the office. Dreier Is also for county
and municipal government which is the
means by which the people will be able
to take care OF their own affairs. An
other big subject which confronts us
Is the matter Of the apportionment of
Senators. The Republicans are this
ones who are responsible for the fact
that no action was taken In the last
Legislature. There was a resolution
introduced in the Legislature by the
way OF an appeal TO the United States
Government that statehood be secured
as easily as possible. That was killed
by the Home Rule Republicans and Il
was proper that they did II because IL
Is stated expressly in the Organic Act
that, before a territory can become .
state, II must just be divided into coun-
ties and municipalities.
There must be a special session Of
the Legislature called or there will be
u big fight next election in the matter
OF the apportionment OF Senators. That
matter must be fixed before the next
election"
After Poepoe several other speakers
addressed the crowd. They spoke more
or less in the same vein as those pre-
ceding them and held their audience as
the crowd at the Fishmarket increased
with III elateness OF the afternoon.
