A Hawaiian Joan Of Arc appeared at
the meeting of the Republicans at Mo-
iliili last night, and, mounting the plat
form, exhorted the voters present
whether Home Rulers or Democrats,
to uphold the administration of Gov
ernor Carter and to cast n straight
vote for the party of decency-the Re-
publican.
The woman orator was Mrs. Kikaha,
wife of the bailiff of the United States
District Court. She was command
ing figure as she stood upon the plat
form in the half-light shed by flare
torches. Her gestures were emphatic
but eloquent, and her voice, though
keyed up to a high pitch, was clear
and resonant. Her speech was fine
oratorical effort and she created a
favorable impression.
Mrs Kikaha said she was born in
Moiliii and was we'll acquainted with
the people of that district. She called
the men there her brothers and the
women her sisters. She called upon
the voters to sustain the straight Re-
publican ticket and If there We're any
Home Rulers and Democrats yet re-
manning in the assemblage she asked
that they cast aside their old affilia-
tions and join the Republican party,
which was the party of progress.
Iaukea, she said, was hired by the
Democrats to run for Delegate to Con-
gress. He was an uncertain man, for
Ia iy,r
The Executive of the territory was
a Republican and the Republican par
ty was the party of decency (Cries of
"Pololei Pololei!").
In the campaign of 1902 she found
many OF those present were supporters
of the Home Rule ticket, but on the
coming Sth of November she hoped
none would forget to vote for the Re-
publican party, for then you will con-
tinue to have poi and fish and all that
you need"
"Set aside all bad feelings" she con-
tinued. "and vote for Prince Kuhio for
Delegate to Congress, and also vote for
my Senators and my Representatives.
Some of them are men that fear God"
CPololeil" shouted the crowd)
; e w. Quinn. candidate of the Fourth
District for the House of Representa-
tiyes, next addressed the audience,
speaking in English He said, In part:
''I ask you for your votes because /
am and always have been Republic
an. believe In the Republican plat
form, because 1t guarantees an honor
able, efficient and economical govern
ment.
II have always been a working man,
began earning my living when l was
ten years old, and have always mix
ed with what is known as the middle
class. You can, therefore, be assured
that I will always do what / can for
my fellow-working men,"
Mr.. Quinn spoke of the candidates or
the Senate and House tickets.
LAS for Messrs: Harris, Andrade
Long and Aylett they have already
served one term in the Legislature, and
could not have received a renomina-
tion from the party.
II have done nothing in my life thus
far to regret and l don't intend at this
time of my life to put any bemishes
on my record, so you may be assured
that / will make a clean fight in this
campaign.
vote for Prince Cupid. He has beer
elected once by you and should be
elected by you again. In justice tc
himself and yourselves, you SHOULD
send him back to Congress to complete
the work he has so well begun.
II endorse the platform from top to
bottom; l endorse the administration
of Governor Carter; | especially believe
in county government. You will never
have a proper government here unit
you have county government, 1t II
better that you should elect your owl
officers rather than that you shoulC
have them appointed. The Republican
party will give you county govern
ment,"
