party IL the party Of. by and for the
people, and they should appreciate that
fact by voting straight n the Demo-
crnts should win out, business interests
would suifer. Mahelonn ended by pre-
dieting that the Republicans would
carry all before them.
David Knnuha was the next speaker.
He began by leading three cheers for
the Republican party. lie dwelt on the
faillngs of the other parties. They were
wolves In Sleeps clothing and were on
ly attempting to delude the people. The
Home Rulers have shown that they do
nothing when elected and should not
be noticed again. The Democrats are
only obstructioni-ts and their platform
proposes no definite benefits to the
people
Mr. Lantthen introduced w. C. Achi
who was greeted with applause.
ACHTs ADDRESS.
Achi said the Republican party was
the one that aided the people. He
then showed how the Governor con-
trolled legislation by his veto powers
and showed that nothing good would
or could be accomplished by Demo-
cratic or Home Rule Legislature. He
then spoke of the Democratic howl that
Carter was dictator. He said that
all men who accomplished things had
that said about them by disgruntled
contemporaries. Caesar was called one
and yet his fame and accomplishments
are remembered to this day. The same
thing had been said of Washington and
Lincoln, two OF the greatest men the
United States has seen. For your
own good and for the good of your
children, vote the Republican ticket"
Carter Is trying to give the Hawaiians
a good government with equal rights
and no special privileges.
OSCAR cox SPEAKS.
Mr. Cox said that the most vital
question in the campaign is the ques-
ton OF platform The Home Rulers
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 If they wished to and they
certainly have no desire to do so.
and my colleagues have pledged our
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 Australian
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 We're ten to
one in favor of the Republicans this
year on the mainland. For his own
part he saw no object in changing the
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 a back lot mauka of the
park. AS the beer went down enthu-
siasm for the straight ticket became
pronounced.
