was a fair sprinkling of Republicans
present The speakers told of Repuoll-
can shortcomings, Democratic virtues
and of the attributes of laukea. COR
ruption and bribery were charged to the
Republicans. the vacant seats in the au-
dience were said by 1aukea to have been
the result of Republican chicanery ana
threats of discharge from employment
Iaukea personally was lauded by MI
Kinney as being man absolutely above
reproach and one whose financial in
tegrity could not be attacked.
Rev. Mr.. Timoteo invoked the divine
blessing. a hush fell over the audi
ence, and late Corners at its conclu-
sion. were not certain whether the
speaker should be applauded.
Then Chairman Turrill sprung sur
prise. He disappeared into the wings
and reappeared a moment later with
chrome picture of Parker introducing
the canvas with the remark. "Our next
President" and drew feeble applause.
Mr.. Turrill then addressed the audi
ence and became so wrapt up in his
eloquence that he did not notice that
Fred Weed had begun to interpret his
remarks into Hawaiian; when he
awoke to a realization of the Interrupt
ton he waved Weed aside and pro-
ceeded to lambast the Republicans in
part as follows:
We meet to ratify the nomination Of
the winner. Alton b. Parker. one week
ago the Republicans met here and to
keep their courage UP spoke of har-
mony and unity. and in praise OF
Roosevelt.
Harmony.-In a Republican primary
no longer does Birbe hit T. McCants in
the eye with hen fruit.
Unity.-Now a precinct with fifty
Republican votes can cast $50 votes at
Republican primary
The Democrats will have a conven-
ton and fight it out, and back the
man that gets the nomination.
Already a tidal wave Is forming at
the Gulf of Mexico which will sweep
up the Mississippi Valley and along
the Atlantic coast, rising higher and
higher, picking up the empty dinner
pals. until it thunders against the
northern boundary, Parker. We have
delegates that sat with the most noisy
and turbulent body of men that ever
assembled on the face of the earth
IAUKEA CHARGES BRIBERY.
The chairman then introduced Curtis
Iaukea, who spoke in moving tones,
his voice filed with tears to sway the
Hawaiian portion of the audience. He
spoke in part as follows:
Fellow citizens. lest we forget, we
have a duty to perform for the well
fare of the Democratic party here is
in our hands. Let us have unity,
thrust our differences aside. and march
to the battle to wrench from the hands
of the administration the power that
they hold there through corruption and
bribery!
Let me remind you that for every
vacant seat here tonight is the seat
that is being made vacant by that very
action. The Democrats that are work.
ing on the roads today have been noti-
fed that if they We're present here to-
night they would get their walking tic
kets on Monday morning!
Gentlemen. remember that the Dem
cratic party does not descend to such
low, dirty practices. We want a clean,
fair fight to get our rights. We need
not descend TO the cutters to do poll
tics. There Is no glory In winning
night obtained In that way.
Fellow citlZens, TO prlng II nearer

party TO poast or, what mas that party
done? Gentlemen we are witnesses
here tonight, we who attended the
Democratic convention at ST. Louis
that the Democratic party was the
only one to recognize Hawaifs full

raised OF our right The Republican
delegates labored on this very floor
last week to explain the action of their
own convention in endeavorlng to de-
