FRANK e. THOMPSON.


Prank e. Thompson aroused the au-
dience with his address on Republicans
and entertained the gathering WITH wit
tlcisms at the expense of the Demo-
cratic party. He referred to the St
Louis platform as the Democratic
scaffold" He said the Democrats had
knocked the head out of the Hearst
barrel beaten his followers with the
slaves. pasted his newspapers over the
hoops and made the Tammany tiger
jump through them" He said 1t was
the duty of the citizens of the Hawai-
ian Islands to ratify the Chicago choice
and return to the local legislative
bodies men who believe in and who are
pledged to support the principles OF
good government as set forth In the
Republican platform.
ATTORNEY GENERAL ANDREWS.
Attorney General Lorrn Andrews
made a rafting good speech which
created no end of enthusiasm, the APP
plause stamping him with the approval
of the audience as a man who, II he
does draw government salary, doesn't
believe in letting others do all the hard
Roosevelt was not unknown to Hawaii,
for he had stood by the Island and
helped then in every way and we could
count on him standing by us for four
more years. The delegates from Ha-
wall to Chicago made no mistake when
they worked for Roosevelt's nominal
ton
I'VE must send our delegate back to
Congress for second term. CAP
plause). The Territory intends to do
it and the Republican party will GER
tainly do it. (Applause). We must
have a legislature that will support
Governor Carter (applause) to see that
we have good government here. Gap
plause). We know that when our Gov
ernor stands for good government he
means it.
I'VE are here to do the best we can
for the Republican party, and we must
take our coats off to do 1t whether we
are office-holders or not daughter and
applause, and cries of. You're all right,
Andrews!D. l don't believe in the doc
trine that an office holder has nothing
to do but draw his salary Uumultuous
applause). We know this campaign is
to be hard one. We have our old
foes the Home Rulers, and a new one
the Democrats. Let us work for the
success of the Republican party with
the same virility as in the past and
attain the success that will surely
come to Roosevelt on the mainland"
(Applause).
T. McCANTS STEWART.
T. McCants Stewart the last speaker,
referred in high terms to the work
done by Governor Carter, National
Committeeman Robertson and delegate
Kuhio. He pleaded that Hle watch
word of the local campaign be unity
and harmony" He hoped to see the
time when it could not be said there
We're Robertson Republicans" or
Garter Republicans or "Kuhio Re-
publicans," but all Republicans. There
must be leaders, although the Repub
lican party did not tolerate bosses"
and the citizen who could impress his
capacity for character and strength up
on his fellow men would be a leader.
Mr.. Stewart went over the history of
the Republican party in Hawaii since
the first campaign and found much in
past defeats to show that with each
election there was great improvement
in the party strength.
No longer could the political enemies
of the Republicans charge us with be-
ing exclusive and welded to a CEN
tralized form of government, for by
one sweep of his pen, Governor Carter,
in calling a special session of the legis-
lature to readjust the financial status
of the Territory, had placed these grave
affairs in the hands of the people.
With three cheers for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks the meeting came to a close.
