KAKAAKO
STIRRED Up
Republicans Have An
Enthusiastic
Rally.

There was regular whirlwind Re
publican meeting in the Kakaako dis
trict last evening. 1t was managed by
the officers of the precinct club and
the scene was the big lot in the rear
of the Honolulu Iron Works plant The
evening was ideal. Seats were pro-
vided for more than 500 and every
bench was occupied. Besides this there
were several hundred standing and
Iani was the chairman and made in
teresting and effective introductions.
Music was provided by a special quin-
tette club. There We're a number of
new songs. one of which, to a very
pretty air, had for it's burden the re-
cital of the relations of Cecil Brown
to the Japanese painters, carpenters
and plumbers of the city.
In his opening remarks Mr.. Lilika-
Iani called attention to what he con-
sidered the best features of the ad-
;ministration of Governor Carter. He. =
said Mr.. Lilikalani, has Shown his
-capability along financial and economi-
cal lines by going into the affairs of the
Territory the same as any good busf-
ness man would approach the conduct
ing of a large concern in which many
people were interested. He has simply
brought the expenses of the Territory
within it's revenues, thereby avoiding
the piling up of debt. Mr. Carter has
been fair and impartial and has de-
clared that the undertaking policy of
his administration will be that there
shall be honesty in the conduct of our
affairs and so far as he has said any
thing in politics he has advocated fair
elections and campaigns. And l tell
you that if there is fairness in the cleo
his associates, for selfish and unworthy
reasons are determined by hook or
crook to hamper Governor Carter and
his officials to the extent of injuring
the public service, increasing taxes
and delaying and postponing public
work. Mr. Lilikalani concluded by
urging his hearers and all who had the
best interests of Hawaii at heart to
vote the straight Republican ticket.
George Makaleni, formerly Home
Ruler, said that his conversion was not
a sudden one, that he had became
Republican only after studying the
platforms of all the parties He had
listened to the talks of Democratic and
Home Rule orators and had reached
the conclusion that these parties were
only trying to use or fool the Hawai- |
ian people On the other hand he had |
found that the Republican party since |
its organization had kept faith in ev- |
cry particular and had been especially |
kindly to the natives. Makaleni is a |
rapid and eloquent speaker and he gave
vent to a perfect torrent of friendly |
analysis to the Republican platform.
He named the candidates and en- /
phasized the fitness of each and the
good record of each one of them who
had been in the Legislature.
Mr.. Frank Andrade modestly remark
ed that he had been a member of the
last Legislature and hoped to be
member of the next one. Then he said,
in rapid fire style: "As one of the
men up for reelection will venture to
enumerate to you a few of the meas
ures that the Republican party put
through the last Legislature. Then
you can judge if my colleagues on the
ticket and myself should or should not
be voted for on the Sth of next
We made an honest attempt to
secure the county government for
was such a general de-
mand. The loan act, which brought
million dollars into the country, was
a Republican measure. Other Repub-
eight hours a days work on public
an act adopting the Ha-
waiian flag as the Territorial emblem,
an act requiring the Territory and all
persons accepting Territorial construc-
ton contract employ citizen labor ,
,nly." Mr.. Andrade referred in detail
20 the service rendered in the last Leg .
stature by Messrs. Long and Ayiett
and of the labors of Mr.. Harris as
chairman of the finance committee of
he House.
Mr.. VIM. Olepau, one of the veteran
'rators and workers of the party, said
hat he wanted to talk for the straight
ticket and on this scratching busi-
less' about which so much had been
'aid in the newspapers and on the :
streets. You see,T said Mr.. Olepau, ;
these newspapers ike 90 fight each
'ther for fun and lots of these men
alking on the street only kick because :
hey always want to tell somebody else S
