For the Great

4 Va iituiNllt Nith iols fNo'I, we Nftl
man savant, was the guest of honor last
evening at a reception accorded him at
the Japanese Consulate General. where
a large number of the most influential
citizens of Honolulu had the privilege
| of meeting him.
The distinguished guest, after coming
ashore from the Coptic with Prof. n.
Hozumi, head of the Law Department
of the University of Japan, was es-
corted to Mochizuki. the Japanese Club
at Waikiki, where. with japanese Con-
| sui Mkt Saito, DR.. Mort. Dr. Uchida
and about twenty other prominent Jap
anese residents, an elaborate dinner
awaited them.
| The reception at the Consulate was
| to be from eight to ten but owing to
the late dinner the guests of honor and
their escort did not reach there until
| long after the hour. They found many
| foreign residents as well as Japanese
| awaiting them. DIR. Kitasato and Prof.
| Hozumi, together with the reception
committee comprising the Consul, DR..
| Mort, DR.. Uchida, c. Shiozawa, Prof.
| NJ NJ. Scott, c. Tamanaka, Nice-Con-
| sui; l. Sugitachi, secretary; S. Nagasa-
| wa, A. Yamaguchi and / Mort stood in
| the Waikiki end of the reception hall,
! introductions being made by the Consul
| and Drs. Mort and Uchida.
DIR. Kitasato met the guests in an
easy affable manner, but as his foreign
| residence has been chiefly in Germany,
he spoke very little English. Prof. XII
| tasato is somewhat stout and carries
himself with dignity. He has jolly
| expression and yet behind his smile
turks the look of power.
Prof Hozumi is also man with an
attractive appearance, and as he spoke
English had something of an advantage
over his travelling companion.
Punch, lemonade and danny salads

OLD FRIENDS MEET.
There was a meeting OF old friends
at the reception when Prof NJ. NJ.
Scott, principal of the High School of
this city, and Prof. Hozumi of Toxic,
came across each other, for more than
| thirty years ago Prof. Hozumi was "a
pupil under Prof. Scott while the latter
was in Japan.
Prof. Hozumi was one of the first
pupils l had" said Prof. Scott while

adopted a platform and made choice of
a standard bearer. In accepting the
nomination of Delegate to Congress, |
do SO fully realizing the responsibilities
that the position imposes, and deep
sense of the honor conferred. 1 regard
it as the highest political gift in the
hands of the Democratic party to be-
stow. For my part l pledge you my
honest and best efforts.
The unity and harmony of our party
organization coupled with an honest eff
fort on the part of the rank and file,
portends a successful campaign; not
only in the cause of democracy, but to
purify the political atmosphere laden
with the breath of corruption resulting
from continued and uninterrupted polit-
zeal sway and controi-Democracy must
| triumph at the polls If the people of this
Territory want to be saved the humi-
liation of being Disseminated against
by reason of political preferences. The
work of intimidating the voter is appar-
ent wherever one may turn; from those
high in authority to the lowest .menial
in the employ of our Republican govern
ment.
Gentlemen of the Conventions: What
ever may result from our present eff
forts, there is one thing that we can
point to with pride. Democracy has
sounded the death-knell of the Home
Rule party, Notwithstanding the secret
| connivances of the Republican party to
instill into the Home Rule organization
| renewed life and political activity
Speaking for myself, the business or
any other interest need have no fear
or apprehension, for II Is my purpose
| If elected, to consult these interests
and use my best endeavors in promot-
ing the common veal.
Gentlemen: When we leave this con-
vention, let us go forth with a deter
mination to win and ever after make
of Hawaii a Democratic Territory.
| A vote of thanks was then passed for
the officers both temporary and per-
, manent. for their good work.
Chairman Kinney called the Central
Committee to meet In Waverley Hall
