ro Diamond Head to Kalihi, SPELL
binders of the Republican party open
ed up the county campaign last night,
and We're everywhere received with en-
thusiasm. AT Waikiki near High
Sheriff Browns residence, in the sand
lot back of the Honolulu Iron Works
in Kakaako, and at the Detention
Camp in Kalihi, rousing rallies were
dates We're present.
Several of the candidates appeared
NSor the first time on the political ros-.
4tkum and acquitted themselves in a
g -s'table way, presenting reasons for
neir candidacy on the Republican
ticket, and reasons why the Hawaiians
should cast their ballots for the grand
old party.
The candidates after speaking at one
place, repaired to one of the other Of
the remaining gathering places, it being
the purpose of the committee to have
each one speak twice during the even
ing. Buses between the Kalihi Camp
and the King street car line facilitated
travel.
The Kalihi Camp had the honor of
listening to four candidates make their
maiden speeches. Geo. T. Renton, for
supervisor, VIM. T. Rawlins for dis
trict attorney, Harry E. Murray for
clerk and Frank Pahia for supervisor
indicated in their speeches that they
were familiar with Republican princi-
pies and knew h, w to explain them to
the voters.

The first speaker was r. n. Boyd,
candidate for surveyor, who hoped that
the ballots for the entire Republican
ticket would fall into the ballot boxes
on November third like drops of rain.
The Republican party, he said, was
like rich soil, but the Home Rule party
was only rocky soil, and nothing could
be planted among the rocks. He told
of his connection with the Home Rule
party in 1900, and he said that all pres
lent knew that he was a hard worker

the voters to elect the right men, and
not vote for men simply because they
happened to be friends. If you vote
