BEER WAS
LIKE WATER
Keg After Keg Opened
at Republican
luau.

The town is still talking of the Re
publican luau at Kauai's Moiliili place
on Sunday.
Beer flower like water, and it is es-
timated that 10 gallons We're consumed
Proceedings opened quietly enough at
p. m. and the speeches of A V Gear
and L. L. McCandless We're attentfevly
listened to.
Thereafter, however. beer flowed
like water, and the utmost enthusiasm
prevailed
While Eona. Kamoa and Geo Make
lena were speaking kegs of beer were
tapped behind the house and a corps of
walters piled the men and women pres
emf with liquid refreshment
Assistant Sheriff H c. Vida presided
at the Iuau which was superintendent
by Princess Theresa Wilcox. He did
not. however, respond to repeated calls
for a speech.
At an early hour yesterday morning,
the supply of beer having run dry the
party broke up, first giving a numbet
of boozv cheers for the straight ticket.
Certain contributors to the Republi-
can campaign fund expressed them
selves in no uncertain terms yesterday
as to their opinion of the squanderins
of their money on affairs like the Kauai
luau and beerfest.
