the Republican rally at Camp No.
last night and had as well the distinc-
ton of being hooted from the crowd.
This was at the time when Colonel
Knox was hip-hipping for the three
cheers he had called for, cheers which
came feebly.
Vida made extended reference to the
s'persecution and slander' he had been
subjected to by the Advertiser and the
Civic Federation, and referred to the
decision of Judge Lindsay in the water
cure episode as a complete vfndica-
ton for himself.
s. K. Maielua, the chairman, called
upon Gambler Willie Crawford as the
opening orator Crawford made a spe-
cial plea for Brown and Cathcart and
repeated the assertion made by Brown.
but long since dropped, that he, Brown,
had lost his position as High Sheriff
because ne would not, at the dfctation
OF Governor Carter. dismiss the Ha-
wafian member of the police force. In
this Brown was backed up, declared
the speaker, by w. Q. Smith, then At
tcrney General, who said that so long
as the Hawaiians were doing their
duty they must be retained. The
speaker further added that he knew
this to be true because w. o. Smith
had hirnselfztold him. In point of fact,
when Brown resigned, w. o. Smith had
not been Attorney General in years.
Sol. Mahelona went over the old
ground of the County Act and the
other legislative claims for the support
of the Republican ticket by the voters.
GEAR IS GALLANT.
A. ". Gear said that he had intended
to ask the indulgence of the audience
and keep his hat on, but there were
too many ladies present and he would
stand in the rain bareheaded.
He instructed the voters present in
the marking of the ballots, warning
them that any mistake would spoil
them. He told several stories, which
lost their point in translation and left
the audience wondering what he was
trying to talk about.
HUSTACE IS APPLAUDED.
There was no mistake, however, |
about the points in the stories told by |
tudTISy f1uSldCc- eiLlN li&S SlO"o
its appreciation.
VIDA GOES AFTER LIGHTFOOT-. |
Three cheers were called for Henry !
c. Vida by Knox, the negro whom the !
court lately threatened with long
term in prison, and responded to by
mingled boots and cheers. a special
campaign song for the speaker was re-
ceived in silence, after which the can
didate took the stand
He paid the crowd the doubtful COM
piiment of saying that he had met most
of them officially. He complained or
the personal attacks made upon Brown
and himself, made personal after the
to prove them incompetent
and untrustworthy had failed. The
attacks of the Advertiser he dubbed
and SANDER.
Finally they got the man Lfghtfoot,
a tool of the Civic Federation, to bring
a charge against me of cruelty to a
Korean who had shot a fellow country
man. These charges were fully in
vestigated by the Board of Super
yisors, who found that I was not
guilty But, not satisfied with this,
they brought it up again in the Circuit
Court The case was begun three or
four DAYS ago. Today Judge Lindsay
indicated me and said that there was
no truth whatever in any of the !
charges brought against me.
