they want to soak the people by raising
the income tax higher
A gentleman present said that Lane
had just ais much excuse in former
times to bolt the Republican ticket and
party as Brown. but he remained loyal
throughout. He was beaten in three
! former conventions and he took his
medicine each time. but remained with
the party and worked for its nominees
Mr.. Andrews confirmed this by SINH
lar statement The party had appre-
ciated such loyalty and finally gave
him nomination. The difference be-
tween Cecil Brown and John Lane on
matters of loyalty to the party was sur
prising, considering the course Brown
had taken.
1t was also stated in the meeting
that after having been beaten in
former conventions Lane had been urg-
ed to leave the party and accept
! nomination from another party. He
could probably have been elected on
another ticket, but he preferred to be
loyal to his party
A gentleman also said that the move
ment for a split ticket was only an in
dication to the Hawaiians that tie
white voters wanted to hog the whole
ticket. He considered this an injustice
TO the Hawaiians, especially with their
Large electorate
Mr.. Andrews then stated that he had
asked Mr.. Thurston about the Adver-
tiser's policy and asked him, why do
you attack Long and Aylett without
giving any reason? Are you not alien
ating the Hawaiisns by so doing? The
Advertiser is urging everybody to vote
against the Hawaiins. Give me a rea-
son or stop mentioning their names in
this way all the time"
Mr.. Andrews stated that Mr. Thurs
ton had replied: 81 don't think after
being committed to policy that we
should give it up" He had also re-
piled, "I don't want to see Aylett elect
ed"
Mr. Andrews stated that all the Ad-
yertiser would say of Aylett was that
he was incompetent.
Inc speaker continued Dy stating
that the voters should not be led alto
gether by what the newspapers might
say. They. and especially the Adver-
tiser. had their clientele and would sell
their papers right along. The more
rows in the legislature, the more scam
dals they could dig up out of it, of
course made better sales for the paper.
He said he did not really know why
the Advertiser kept it up.
Mr. Andrews said he had not heard
much of ticket scratching on the
streets, but it was mainly in the Adver-
tiser. Charley Hustace had stated in
the meeting of the eighth precinct that
he was scratching because he Can

DAVIS LETTER is OUT.

date on the Issues.

Henry c. Davis letter Of acceptance
Of the Democratic nonlins ton for Vice
President is brief, and the candidates
comments upon the issues of the cam
paign have the conciseness and, in sew
era instances, the abruptness Of mar
ginal notes.
He deyotes a paragraph each to the
expenses of government. the army, Pana-
ma, imperialism, trusts. local self-gov-
eminent, arbitration, the civil service
and his running mate, Alton b. Parker.
To the subject of the tariff he gives three
paragra phs.

statement of the Democratic party in

Wis by way of Introduction. The pub
bic mind is being disiHusioned of the pre-
tension of the Republican party, 50 long
and so arrogantly made. that the mate
rial prosperity of the country depends
upon its own ascendancy. Thoughtful
and patriotic people are becoming more
and more distruStful Of the heady and
personal element of the present admins
trauon, and are more than willing 20 see
it replaced by enc that better recognizes
constitutional and other lawful re-
straints They demand that the present
wasteful extravaganza in the expenditure
of the money, drawn by taxation from
the industry of the people, shall cease,
and that economy and honesty in the
public service shall be again regarded as
virtues in the high places OF the govern
ment"
Hailing as the harbinger Of new era

ton of the administration which ''indict-
ell a wound upon our national honor by
its disregard Of the rights of a weaker

Many unwarrantsa things. In the opir-
ioa of Mr.. Davis, mist be regarded as
the first fruits of aperialism, and show
now last we are drifting toward absolut-

Mr.. Davis declares that the tariff IN
dou5redly Is too high upon such articles
as the manufacturer is able to sell cheap
er abroad than at home. Relief from
present conditions, he says, can come
only through the success Of the Demo
cratic party. The trusts. it is declared.
