ster Republican meeting.
In the park the thousands of torch
bearers wound around the speakers
stand in spiral form. making an impos-
Ing spectacle. The field about the
stand was soon packed with a cheer
ing multitude and when John c. Lane
chairman of the evening. mounted the
platform. his voice could scarcely
reach the outskirts of the crowd. The
people pressed close to the speakers
stand and remained long to hear tho
arguments Of the able speakers.
Mr.. Lane first introduced Senator
w. c. Achi. who spoke in Hawaiian.
defending the Republican party and
the Republican Administration against
Democratic attacks.
e. Faxon Bishop followed with Wig.
Drous speech In English, which ellci.
ted frequent outbursts Of applause. He
spoke of the many laws on the statute
books that need revision and said that
the people could more safely entrust
this task to the Republicans than to
either the Democrats or the Homo
Rulers.
Delegate Kuhio made a convincing
speech, talking both In English and
Hawaiian. He made a last appeal to
the voters and different interests of
Honolulu not only for their votes but
Tor backing and cooperation in his
work in Congress. He said that fac.
tional opposition had already hindered
his work for the Territory and that
the interests of the Territory were
such as were entitled to united eff.
fort by all for their furtherance.
Rousing speeches were also made
by Sam Kaleiopu, J. NJ. Dowsett and
others. A Hawaiian orchestra played
good music throughout the meeting.
Shortly after the crowds arrived at |
the park the Democrats erected plat
form in the rear of the Republican |
stand and Democratic speakers ad.
dressed a portion of the people.
