. Booth opened the meeting with a
short speech, lie recommended the
candidacy Of Kuhio. who, he said, had
done good work. In preference to that
of McClanahan. who was absolutely
untried. Brown had been tried and
all accusations against him had fallen
to the ground. w. o, Smiths name

appropriation for the Pau0a road
would never have been stricken out.
Link McCandless should be sent back
to the Senate. He would find out
why many items of the Loan Bill had

County law, devoted considerable
time to the good work done by the
Promotion Committee, for which he
recommended the appropriation OF
$1,000 a month, and ended with com.
parison of the Republican principle Of
protection and the Democratic princi,
pie of free trade.
Hawaii is a sugar country almost

from Hawaii. amounting to thirteen
million a year. ana where would Ha.

try here. II IL protected at the rate
Of 81 per 100 pounds. You take away
that protection and the rice fields will
lie idle. You can't grow rice here with
out that protection. For these reasons
we should send u Republican to Con.
gress and not a Democrat. | don't
think that the Cuban annexation has
much To do with the matter ! don't
think we should send Democrat to

pose of rebuke. A Republican can

ban annexation than Democrat
could"

attended by fairly big crowd.
though not as large as the one at the
first Republican meeting held there.
For this circumstance the meeting at
Kamehameha Park was, however,
Iclearly responsible.
Bernard Kelekolio, the Boy Orator,
added u new feature to the old cam.
paign stunts by introducing the Con.

language here for ten years, which
was the measure, he said, which had
caused KuhiO To be accused OF AT.
