making a mistake because he requires
a man to give him his resignation when
he takes Office. That is proper. Car
ter cant afford to lose control OF the
men whose acts make or mar his adj
ministration.''
Mr.. Towse spoke for Prinde Kuhio
and gave reasons why he should be re-
turned to Congress. To send an untried
man would be to begin the work all
over again, and Hawaii would suffer-
ACHI RIPS DEMOCRATS.
Senator W. C. Achi said that the
Democrats are reported to be stating
that if they get into power they will
relieve the poor man of the tax burdens,
thus meaning, no doubt, that they
would make the rich man pay instead.
Such law the speaker said would be
demonstrations. THE Democrats. he
said, ARE merely saying these things
as part of the deception and fraud
they are spreading among the voters
All the Democrats seem to be saying is
and it is a faisehood by the way
that Governor Carter is trying to in
crease, the taxes of the poor people
What the Home Rulers are saying does
not now amount to anything, so they
need not be considered.
What has the administration been
doing? Building school houses from one
end of the islands to the other What
is that for? To educate all our young
people, those that come after US. The
Republicans passed appropriations for
the repair of roads, and who is reaping
the benefits? Alfsof you.
There was 100000 appropriated for
the deepening of the harbor for the adj
mission of the largest vessels that are
planned to cali here. Who will derive
the benefit of this work in time? You
Hawaiians. Can the Democrats or
Home Rulers say that there is anything
wrong with that? 1t is for you, for your
maintenance.
$50 I say to you support the admins
tration by voting the Republican ticket.
Carter is the man to uphold the laws
and enforce them. Every poor man here
can go to the Governor and see him per-
sonally and receive the same treatment
man."
Carlos Long made short speech in
favor of himself and the full Represen-
tative ticket, and then the greatest
speaker of the evening was introduced.
THE HAWAIIAN GLADSTONE.
Chairman Quinn introduced John
Gandan of Kauai as the Gladstone of
Hawaii, and some one added, THE Ha-
waiian oratorical Shakespeare
At the mention of Gandalfs name the
Hawaiians crowded around the speak
er's stand. In beautiful language, with
his expressions teeming of the old Ha-
wall, and with eloquent gestures, Can
dali had the auditors listening with
open mouths TO his first words. From
humor to pathos, and from seriousness
to Righteousness, the speaker carried
his. audience, until they broke into
thunderous applause. Those who readi-
ly understand the ordinary Hawaiian
language have to give steady attention
to the speeches of John Gandan, for his
style and expressions bark back to the
days of the olden kings and chiefs.
The orator began by relating legend
and so ingeniously worked this into d
to suit political exigencies
to grasp his intention, and then they
applauded long and heartily. In mag
nificent comparison of the Republican,
Democratic and Home Rule parties the
speaker used the following illustration:
In the days of Kamehameha his war
riors used sling shots. An enemy came
Up within distance of Kamehameha 10
sling a stone at him, but a chief inter-
vened. At another time another enemy
lid the same thing and a chief inter
vened again. The third time when
chief spoke to Kamehameha of the cir
eumstance he said to the king: Why
10 you stand out and fight now? This
s conquered enemy and they are not
worth fighting. This, he said, was
he same thing at the present time, for
he Home Rulers We're now vanqulsn-
ID party.
