Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1903-10-23

CinCt of the Fourth District had a good
meeting in Emma Square last night
Despite the threatening weather the
square was well filled with people who
followed the words of the speaker,
with great interest.
Towards the last part of the meeting
showers of rain drove a large part oil
the crowd away. OF the speakers, Gan.
dali Of Kauai easily carried OF the
palm. His speech evidently pleased
the audience immensely and although
he spoke more than an hour the en-.
thusiasm kept up until the very end.
S. +. Chillingworth was the first
speaker. He encouraged the people to
vote for the men they had nominated
on the Republican ticket. The Repub.
leans had given the people their gov
eminent. Failure to support the ticket
would throw the government into the
hands of those unfit to govern. He
who voted split ticket took an enor.
NOUS responsibility on his shoulders
On the individual vote depended the
election and on the election the future
of the Territory.
Attorney General Lorrin Andrews
opened his speech by stating that the
election now at hand was the most
Important ever held here rs II was the
only one at which the people elected
their own officials. There we're two
parties and 1t rested with the people
whose banner they would follow. The
Home Rulers had at the first election
promised much benefit II elected. The
only ones who received the benefits
were the Home Rule bosses.
Andrews Warns.
At the last election the Republicans
promised county government ana go ie
II after the Home Rulers had failed 70
give. Mr.. Andrews pointed out that
the Republicans had elected lke.r can
didates through primaries at winch ,ne
people voted. The Home Rue pait ~
had theirs chosen by few bosses.
The Home Rule party was all Ka-
lauokalani. He ran the party. The
people ran the Republican party. Mr.
Andrews stated that Prince Kuhio had
been fired out of the Home Rule party
because they were afraid he was too
strong for Kalauokalani Fred Beck
ley, who had done right by everyone,
had been fired out Of the Home Rule
party because he would not bow to
Kalauokalani's will. II the people
wanted their independent rights they
should vote the Republican ticket. Mr..
Andrews ended by warning those pres
ent that the coming election was a
trial. Should county government be
a failure on account of incompetent
officers, Congress might curtail the
peoples rights. A repetition of the
Legislature of 1901 would cause hard
times in which the poor man suffered
even more than the rich man.
oandall Eloquent.
representative Gandall made quite
.C long speech in Hawaiian. His elO-
quent and direct phrases carried the
crowd with him and his humorous way
Of presenting the matters on hand
made the gathering feel in good humOr
Getting on to the more serious as.
.rcct of things and the Importance OF
the coming election, he compared the
qualities OF the Home Rule and Re-
publican parties and made reference "a
Prince Kuhios atfiliation with the lat
ter. The white man was the real friend
Of the Hawaiian. The Republican party
would do the right thing by the people
The county act was the child of the
Republican party. Should the people
give the child to an adopted mother?
No, II was time enough when the Re
publican party had failed TO do Its
duty. Prince Kuhio was a Republican
He had gone to Washington as mem
Der Of that party. The people should
see that he kept his prestige while he
was in Washington. His prestige would
be lost should Home Rulers be put In
power at the coming election.
Andrade Compares.
Representative Andrade compared
the two parties. The tiOme Rulers
when in power spent $4,000 to pass the
lady dog bill. The Republicans in
their turn did two magnificent pieces
Of work, namely, the county act aud
the loan bill, The county act was i'm
pOitant since II gave the people the
power to elect their own officials. The
greatest Of care should be exercised to
get the best men in the Offices. The
money collected rs taxes would be
spent by these officials. Was there any
one present who wanted men of the
Home Rule type to spend this money
After the experience which the people
had had with the Home Rule party
there could hardly be anyone who
would want such a state of affairs u
come to pass. Mr.. Andrade finished
his speech by addressing the Hawaii
ans present in their own tongue.
Achi's Examples.
Senator Charles Achi spoke in Ha
waiIan comparing the lists Of candi
dates OF the Republicans and HOm
Rulers and pointed out the advantage
which would be derived by the peopl
