Confidence In Governor carter and
his administration OF affairs I'm the Ter
ritory was the keynote of the reasons
which Charles w. Booth gave last
night at the meeting OF Republicans
In Pauoa for his conversion from the
Democratic to the Republican party
Mr.. Booth came out strongly in n
speech which was not only full OF
praise for all that the administration
had done and was doing for the peo-
pie Of the Territory, but he denounced
the party to which he had hitherto
pinned his faith. Mr.. Booth presided
at the meeting and his first appearance
on the stage was the signal for an
outburst Of enthusiasm which echoed
and re-echoed In the valley of Pauoa.
The meeting was held at the school,
house grounds and was preceded by
a torchlight procession OF about 200
people. The procession was headed by
a band. Next in line came the RED
Shirts" Faxon Bishops stalwart Ha-
waiians. The line of march was up
Emma street to Pauoa. G. X. Lowe
was the marshal, assisted by David
Kauhane. In the school grounds a
high platform was erected and nearby
were two patent flares which shed a
bright light over the big assemblage
of men and women. The Republican
quintet club was present on the plat
form. The meeting was not only large
In numbers but In enthusiasm as well.
When Mr.. Booth, who was intro
duced by John C. Lane, mounted the
platform, he was greeted by tremen-
dous cheering. A young and winsome
Hawaiian girl followed him to the
platform and dropped n MALE and le-
hua lei about his neck. After the usual
greetings Mr.. Booth speaking eloquent
ly in Hawaiian said in part:
II am not here tonight as candi-
date for office, but I have come here
to let you know why I have left the
Democratic party and Joined the Re-
publican party (applause). I have done
so, not because I was in the Demo-
cratic party, went to sleep and woke
up the next morning a Republican, but
for better reasons. First, l have full
confidence In Governor Carter, because
l know him, because he has lived in
Pauoa and because he was born right
below here. l have every confidence in
him, which did not have in Gov
ernor Dole. If Mr.. Dole were Governor
1 probably would not be here tonight.
1 believe in Secretary Atkinson. He
was born here too.
Some of you will ask who is the
head and tail of the Republican party
on the mainland. I will answer: Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Some of you will ask
who is the head of the Republican
party here In this Territory? l will
say to you that 1t is Governor Carter.
(Applause).
IF any of you ask who is the leader
of the Democratic party here I can
guess that 1t is Kinney. He Is its head
and tail. Who is Mr.. Kinney?
WAS 1t not this Kinney who de-
throned our Queen? Look at the char
acter of this man in the past. He
once told me that If I didn't sever my
connection with the Hawaiians 1
would be hanged.
During the last session a bill came
up for the extension of School street
and was passed. l had been before
former legislatures and asked them to
make the Pauoa road extension (Fort
street,, but they shook their heads. l
then appeared before Governor Carter
and asked him when this extension
was to be built He said he would not
rest until the road was built (cheers).
You can all see that that road Is built
and We are having the benefit of 1t.
l have already driven over 1t.
AS for the Home Rulers, we must
have sympathy for them because they
are all Hawaiians, but they have
pies.
Politics here today can be compared
to the days when Noah's ark was I'm
existence. Noah, you remember sent I
doves out from his ark and one return
ed with an olive branch. Governor Dole
was like one of these doves He went
out and returned with nothing. The
next dove was Governor Carter. He
was sent out and returned with some
thing. That Is the reason ] am now
a Republican. ] am n Republican now
and forever Elect the full Republican
ticket. If they don't do right you can
salt them down but believe they will
be alright and there viii be no need
10 salt them" (Applause).
