votes in the Territory to be safe for
ever? No. What better argument
can we hold out to voters to come into
the fold than an honest stewardship.
Any party that gets into the habit of
scratching puts a damper upon the
invitation to outsiders to come in.
only this morning we followed to
his last resting place one of natures
noblemen-that wise and learned
judge, that wise and learned politician
NJ. M. Estee prolonged applause).
Judge Estee was a man who was a
staunch member of the Republican
party. He had his ups and downs in
political life. He had his defeats as
well as his victories. Notwithstand-
ing defeats in politics was he any less
a Republican by reason of that fact?
Did you ever hear of Judge Estee
boiling the party because he did not
get nomination? Did you ever hear
of him scratching a ticket? No. He
was too true-blue Republican to do
any treachery (applause). He was
too strong a Republican to do this. He
was a straight Republican and voted
the straight Republican ticket Cap
plause). Follow in the footsteps of
Judge Estee" (applause).
JOHN LANES SPEECH.
John Lane was introduced as young
Republican, one of the foremost of the
young workers in the party, who, when
he did not get the nomination from the
Republican Convention for Supervisor,

who refused an offer for nomination
on the opposing ticket, and thereby
showed the stuff of which he was made.

the straight Republican ticket" said
he with the Young Mems Republican
Club working for the ticket, I can al
most predict a sweeping victory for the
Republicans on November 8. CAP

office He must be a good man to stay

Mr.. Lane went through the entire
list of nominees, giving brief sketches

tons for the office to which they are to
be elected He followed his address in
English by one in Hawaiian.
OVATION TO BROWN.
High Sheriff Brown was given a
tremendous ovation as he was intro
duced. He was presented by the Chair
man as THE man who has been too
long in Office which provoked merri-
ment. He said the Republican party
had honored him with the nomination
for Sheriff and he asked for votes. The
Republican party was the one in power
on the mainland and he believed 1t was
the party that would remain in power

what he can for this Territory. A
