engaged in promoting it in the United

East, the material going around the
Horn.
Il hope that our company will be able
| to help out the islands in many ways,
| for we are extensively advertising
Taroena, and that advertises Hawaii
Our mill is in Maui and is somewhat
old. We are having new mill built
east We may also knock down the old
parts and build new sections
However, | think we will decide to
put up the mill in Honolulu and do our
entire manufacturing here. / believe it
would be more sensible to be nearer
the base of export. The tubers could be
brought to Honolulu, the Taroena made
here and shipped directly.
$50 far we have only been trying to
educate doctors in the east as to the
benefits to be derived from the use of
Taroena. Soon we are going to begin
a campaign in the big publications, such
as the Ladies Home Journal Saturday
Evening Post, etc. By this means we
will be able to reach the freside This
will advertise Taroena and Hawaii. also.
OF course there is strong competition.
We have to butt up against Matted

but / believe we can show people in
time that the Taroena of Hawaii is good
for dyspeptics, for people who are sick
at sea and for the hospitals when
patients have refused to eat everything

REPUBLICANS OF
FIFTH TURN OUT

There were great things in the Fifth
last night About seven in the evening
a parade, extending over two blocks,
marched about the streets, finally end
ing up at Aala Park shortly before
eight. Many of the precincts had IL
Nominations setting forth their char
acteristics and the desivarility of vot-
ing the Republican ticket. First in
the parade was a cavalcade of horse
men; then came a large body wearing
red shirts and khaki trousers; next
came a. body clad in white throughout
and behind these We're representatives
from the several precincts. All carried
torches. A band was in attendance
and cheering was frequent. At least
one thousand we're present.
John Lane presided at the meeting,
and, after a few Introductory remarks,
introduced che ia 4Iahelona.

believe in making extravagant appro-
priations without taking heed of the
resources of the country while the
Democrats uphold the National Demo-
cratic platform which is in favor of
lowering the tariff. If the tariff should
be lowered on sugar it would mean the
ruin of these Islands. The Democratic
candidates have also pledged them
selves to support an increase of taxes.
This is unnecessary and foolish and
would simply Increase our burdens.
The Democratic and Home Rule state
ments that the Republicans intend to
take the. franchise away from the Ha-
waiians Is false. The Republicans
could NOT IT they wished to and they
certainly have no desire to do so.

selves to work for the interests of the
people and you should vote for US
A STRANGER SPEAKS.
Mr. Lane then introduced Mr.. David
Davis, an ex-member of the Australians
Parliament who passed through yes
terday on the Ventura
Mr.. Davis said that he was just re-
turning from a five months tour OF
the United States and had travelled all
over the country from Boston to San
Francisco. The chances were ten to
one in favor of the Republicans this
year on the mainland. For his own
part he saw no object in changing the
administration when the country was
so prosperous under Republican super
vision. CThe speaker was unused to
having to have his remarks translated
and so stopped at this point)
The meeting then adjourned to par
take of a little liquid refreshment that
was served in back lot mauka of the
park. AS the beer went down enthu-
siasm for the straight ticket became
pronounced.
