REPUBLICAN
CAMPAIGN
Continued from page l.,

and Quinn's being the president of tn
Fourth precinct showed the estimation
in which he was held by those wht
had intimate dealings with him. Raw
lures endorsed by the Republican party
He cited the fact that settlers on gov
eminent lands in out of the way DIS
tricts, may construct roads for them
selves without waiting for the govern
ment, and receive deduction in the
| price of the land equal to the cost to
! them Of building the road. He ended
UP by urging that a straight Repub-
lican ticket be elected as that would
insure good legislation. Tt costs s1oUU
day while the Legislature is in ses-
sion and so 1t behooves us to get one
that will do the best work in the short
est time.
Mr. Lane introduced the next speak
er as the man who had broken up the
Home Rule and Democratic power in
their great Observation-Disclosures
Next on the program was Ed Towse.
who began by wishing he had the voice
of Doc. Monsarrat or j. F. Morgan.
However. he was always ready to speak
for the Republican party. This is the
party that has built up the system of
protection and the navy-the two great
| things that are of value to us here in
II - =
has done more in the two years he has
been in Washington than has any new
member of Congress in an equal length
of time. He should be given an oppor-
tunity to so on with the good work
In regard to Carter, Mr.. Towse was not
there to defend him. Carter needs no
defense. Speaking of the Democrats he
said that they simply propose to Sin
vestigate," which only means costly
waste of time and even more costly
stenographers.
SWINTON A REPUBLICAN.
Harry s. Swinton spoke next He
said he felt astonished at himself. He
gave reasons for his change of heart
and urged all to vote the straight Re
publican ticket. He then repeated his
remarks in Hawaiian
THE BOY ORATOR.
Bernard Kelekolio now mounted the
stand and was greeted with cheers. He
compared the Home Rule party to
France in the time of Napoleon. When |
Wilcox died Home Ruleism received its |
death blow and is now in a state of !
decay. Kelekolio then compared the |
National Democratic and Republican |
parties. The Democrats were the slave |
drivers, the Republicans, the party of |
freemen. Financially the United States |
was in bad way when Cleveland was |
President. The speaker ended by say |
ing that the elective franchise is not a |
toy. A vote is more effective than q |
sword. With one you may kill few
men, with the other you can wreck a {
State. He then spoke in Hawaiian and /
made a great hit.
TOM QUINN SPEAKS.
Lane then introduced Tom Quinn as
the best speaker of the party in the !
Fourth. Quinn began to say that he
was there to "expound in his small way
the principles of the party. He called
Andrew Jackson the greatest American
President and Roosevelt his double.
They both have the qualities of prompt
ness and decision in a remarkable de-
gree. He went on to show how all the
politicians advised the Presi-
dent not to expose the frauds in the
Postofice with Presidential election
drawing near. Roosevelt persisted,
however, and is the stronger for it.
Governor Carter is nobly following |
Rooseyelt's example and is only doing |
the right thing. Would have stultified
himself if he had waited until after the
election. There should not be a Demo-
crat in the islands. Our whole pros
perity is wrapped up in the tariff sys-
tenn and no one should be such a fool
as to vote for a party whose policy is
nimical to our interests
The remaining speakers were Hawai-
ans and spoke in native.
