Chairman Andrews said the Young
Mems Republican Club believed in good
government and this would be best OBJ
tanned by voting for the Republican
nominees. The nominees were selected
by the people in open primaries. The
so-called Home Rule party did not do
this. The nominees were picked out
by a leader or leaders. When they call
themselves the Home Rule party it was
not Home Rule party in the sense 1t
was generally known. The Home Rule
party instead of being a party of the
people was party of, by and for Ka-
lauokalani. The Young Mems Republic
can Club does not believe in this. 1t
believes that the people at large are
capable of selecting their own nom
inees.
r. N. BOYD SPEAKS.
Chairman Andrews then introduced
r. N. Boyd, as man who had tried the
Home Rule party and found it want
ing.
Mr.. Boyd said that the Hawaiians
belonged to an individual and progress
sive nation.
I'VE are proud of our record" said
he, land we are also proud to belong
to the great nation whose eagle screams
oyer these islands and Is also roaring
over the PHILIPPINES. Let US honor the
American Congress which gave us and
our sons the right to vote for our off,
Gals. Congress believed that we were
the sons and daughters of the soil as
much as any others whom Columbia
has taken under her care.
"All political parties are inaugurated
for the benefit of all members of the
parties" said he, land not for the spe-
cial benefit of the few and the best ma
terial must be recognized by the party.
for we must have capable officers to
steer the ship to safe anchorage.
THE election of county officers Is
before US. This county government
Is u business proposition, in which ev-
cry voter is partner. 1t presents a
serious question-not because material
is lacking to fill the offices for good
honest administration, but because 1t
requires good honest men, and we
have them on our ticket. The only men
who can run this government are the
best men in the community, and are
represented by the Republican party.
BY sustaining this ticket from top to
bottom, you will inaugurate capable
and honest government which viii be
run smoothly"
CANDIDATE MURRAY TALKS.
II. L. Murray, candidate for county
clerk was the next introduced. Muir
ray created "a favorable impression
from the outset by his frank. engaging
manner, and his sentences were deliv-
cred straight and to the point. He
said in part: II stand before you to-
night to tell you why it is your duty
to vote for me. for county clerk. /
come before you as the representative
of the Republican party. / do not
come before you as a man put up by
one man, but by the party. / think
that l am capable OF filling the posi-
tion. 1t has been stated that I am
bringing up a fight against my oppo-
nent. | am not doing so.
THE Home Rule party tells you
you should not vote for any man but
a Hawaiian, and then they put up two
white men. l can get along without
the job of county clerk. don't need
1t for my support. but I ask you tn
give me your votes as by voting for me
you vote for the Republican party.
The gentleman on the Independent
ticket for clerk Is a very capable man,
no doubt, but he has no backing. The
reason the convention put me on the
ticket is because they thought me
capable. II / was not the friend of
every man in the convention was the
friend of the majority. and believe
that for that reason am entitled to
your votes"
