hear Kuhio speak, Because they knew
Mt the head OF the Republican ticket and
they wanted TO hear from him why he
should be at the top of the ticket.
When you see one of your own native
citizens like the keiki alii working for
the Republican ticket, when you see
another Hawaiian citizen like Charley
Booth and when you see another cIti-
zen like me working for that ticket,
surely to God, can't you see that we
must be sincere in our efforts to bring
victory to that ticket?
do you suppose that I am running
for office on the Republican ticket with
my eyes shut? No. 1t Is for the benefit
that I. whose vote as n Hawaiian citi-
zen was taken from me in 1893. depriv-
ing me of the right to vote from that
time up to 1900, that l. who refused to
take the oath of Office to any govern
ment unless In my own opinion felt
was right in doing SOL say do you
suppose I Joined the Republican party
without coming to the conclusion that
1t was the only party that could help
the Hawaiians and the Territory In
general?
II originally stood against 1t because
I was opposed to the overturning of
the monarchy. l was opposed to an
nexation, but 1t came and stayed. I
have felt II my duty to come forward
and enter the political arena at this
time to do what l can for the benefit
of you people and the benefit of the Ter
ritory at large, and that is why I ask
you to vote for me as a senatorial can
didate.
II want all you Hawaiiaos who may
not be Republicans to take this matter
under advisement. Look at me. l have
invested everything 1 have in the Is
lands. / married Hawaiian. 1 am
here to stay with you alawys. weigh
ed the matter myself, carefully, and !
decided there was but one party TO
stand for the future prosperity of the
islands and that is the Republican par
ty, the party for you and the party
for me. (Applause.)
Look at the intelligent platform OF
the Republican party. and then at the
botch of a platform of the Democrats
which Is filled with personal abuse of
Governor Carter and his administration
and then choose
"There are important matters to come
up in the Legislature and you want tho
best men to go there to pass the laws.
/ say why can't these bills be Introduce
ed by the best party-the Republican,
rather than by fools, lawyers and other
professional men daughter and ap-
plause)."
John Lane then made an eloau mt
speech in Hawaiian, along the lines Of
his speeches at other places.
Jack Lucas made one of his charac-
teristic speeches in Hawaiian, which
convulsed the audience with laughter
REPRESENTATIVE HARRIS
SPEAKS.
W. w. Harris spoke of the poor quail
ity of legislative material among the
Home Rulers, and especially those
whom that party sent to the last legis-
lature. A soda water bill was up in the
last session. John Gandall made the
speech of his life in favor of the bill.
Kaniho, a Home Rule statesman, spoke
to Gandall and said, Suppose / buy
case of soda water and drink 1t and
then put the bottles back In the case,
which / might place on table. Then
suppose some cats or dogs jump on the
table overturn the case and break the
bottles, who Is to pay for the bottles?"
Mr.. Gandall replied: you pay for 1t
YOURSELF" Kaniho then said, I'VE must
kill that bill because they make us re-
sponsible to the people for the acts Of
dogs and cats" That is the sort of leg
isation the Home Rulers dwell upon.
You must send responsible men to the
legislature.
II want your votes" said Mr.. Harris.
II am as much a Hawaiian as any man.
You know | have always befriended
the Hawaians and always will" CAP
plause.)

platform he was greeted with tremen,
dous cheering. The crowd yelled itse.f
hoarse. He said the big crowd present
showed that the Pauoa precinct had
plenty of enthusiasm. He was particu-
larly pleased to be on the stand at this
time, owing to the fact that such an
old resident as Charley Booth had de-
cided to stand on il with him.
