Kuhio in the Pala depot warehouse at
p. m. last Monday afternoon, was
most elaborate affair, attended by be-
tween 500 and 1000 people. 1t was an
event of social and political Importance
equaled recently only by Governor
Carriers reception at Puunene. Crowded
trains conveyed residents from khei,
Puunene Kahului, Spreckelsville, and
Hamakuapoko.
The interior of the huge warehouse
was gaily decorated with flags, bunting,
and ferns, and all available space around
the many tables was fully occupied by
the numerous guests of the occasion,
who heartily enjoyed the dainty menu
of Hawaiian viands.
After the feast d. Kalauokalani Jr.
made an address to the crowd assem-
bled on the outside of the warehouse.
After the tables had been removed from
the interior the large audience re-as-
sembled within the building and listen
ed to speeches by Hon. A. N. Kepoika,
Senator H. P. Baldwin, Manuel Deponte,
Prince Kuhio and Rev. Stephen Desha

tuguese to the three or four hundred
sons of Portugal present. Kalaniana-
ole spoke both in English and Hawaiian.
All the speakers were well received,
the Prince especially so.

The Prince was enthusiastically re-
ceived and made his usual straight
forward address He said that if he
could compose campaign lies he might
gain more votes, but his conscience
would not permit him to do So If his
hearers wished to believe the lies of his
political opponents, they were at liberty
to do so.
He recalled the six important bills. |
for Notifications. lighthouses, etc.,
introduced by him at the last session of
Congress. He explained concerning his
treatment of his secretary.
He stated that it was now impossl-

legislature by display of oratory OF,
the floor of Congress. Everything must
be done through the great committees. |
He had made many friends at Wash !

thought he could do valuable work at

at the polls.
