First Step Toward Utilizing Convict Labor
in the Preparation Of Material
for Roads.

Whereas, There is a growing de-
mand for utilizing the labor of con-
victs so as to do the least harm to
the honest laborers; and,
Whereas, 1t is conceded by all that
good roads contribute largely to the
welfare of the whole people; therefore
be it,
Resolved by the Housed the Senate
concurring), That the State Highway
Commissioner is hereby instructed to
make thorough investigation into
the practicability and the ACCESSIBILITY
of using convict labor to crush stone
for good roads, and what it would
cost the State to procure trap rock
quarry in the Lake Superior district,
and what it would cost to build at
such quarry prison to accommodate
a thousand convicts, and what 1t
would cost to crush and load on boats
such stone per cubic yard, and what
il would cost to ship such stone to
any and every county in the State,
and to report the same to the next
session of the Legislature"
The above resolution was passed by
the Legislature of 1905 and thorough
investigation will be made by the
State Highway Commissioner.

DR.. French, on his solicitation was
promised special articles for the Ha-
waiian edition of the Independent by
all those attending the meeting, with
an assurance that some other contribu-
tors would be sought by them.
Subjects of special interest relating
to Hawaii will be treated by the local
writer's, each of whom will have a
theme with which ne Is particularly

will no doubt be an edition of the In

Sam c. Dwight who was received
with three cheers, asked for the votes
of those present for himself and for
the party ticket
J. W Iona referred to Brown and
Vida as men who We're welcomed in
every Hawaiian home and in whose
home every Hawaiian was welcomed
Continuing his figurative address, he
urged the voters not to clog the stream
from which all drank.
E. A. Douthitt reviewed the work
accomplished by the Republicans in the
county. On roads they had spent $222,-
619.77, all of the money going among
the citizens, meaning bread, poi and
fish on Saturday nights. The delegate
had secured appropriations for Hawaii
and had been the means through whom
thousands had been spent here among
the Hawaiians. These men did not de-
serve to be turned down.
A. V. Gear promised to help carry
on the good work done so far by
the Republican Supervisors, including
among the things that were to be given
chemical fire engines for the outlying
sections of the city and an improved
water supply as soon as the water
: works system had been turned over to
the county. The turning over of the
fines and costs in the police courts to
the counties was something the party
! was to work for, and when this was
secured it would mean that much more
money going to the citizens for labor
on public works.
E. w. Quinn spoke briefly, making
general plea for the support of the
straight ticket.
Charles Hustace made one of his
original Hawaiian talks, overflowing
with promises of poi and full of wit
most agreeable to his audience. Hus-
tace was cheered and applauded at
frequent intervals and made a decided
hit.
A D. Castro's speech was an ora
torical effort. IF there was one dis
honorable man on the ticket, he said,
he would at once denounce him and
would leave the party forever. But
there was none such and he was proud
to be on the ticket. Not one of the
accusations that had been made against
any of the candidates had been sub
stantiated and was therefore unworthy
of credence.
E. A. Long spoke briefly in Hawaiian
and then in English. The sudden trans
ition seemed too much for him and he
made an apology for breaking down in
the middle of his address. It was an
off night for him, he explained, and
he did not want his failure then to
prejudice anyone against him.
w. T. Rawlins thanked the voters
for the support they had given him in
the past and asked FOR a repetition
of the support now. This speaker made
lengthy. and forcible address,. and
predicted a Republican victory.
Henry C. Vida pointed with pride to
his record and retold the story of how
he had been twice appointed with the
approval of Governor Carter to respon-
sfble positions. He had been asked by
prominent members of the Civic Feds
to run on their ticket but had spurned
the proposal as treason to Brown and
the Republican party
The speaker then turned his atten-
tion to the Advertiser and its staff,

charges made by the Advertiser against
the police department and explaining
that the release of drunks without trial

Republicans Have a Rally at the Zoo and the
Democrats Do spelbinding at Punchbow
and Kaihi.

There was something doing at the
Zoo last night, a crowd of several hun
,nany evidently filled with desire to
view the animals without charge, and
others, the majority, to hear the
speeches of the Republican candidates.
An extra car service was put on to
handle the crowd, which thinned out,
however. long before the speakers had
told their whole story. For the last
two or three speakers the audience was
less than one hundred, but this hun
dred were the staunchest and made up
IN their applause what they lacked in
numbers.
James D. Holt, as chairman. called
first upon ]. H. Harpottle, who spoke
in Hawaiian. He spoke generally on
the platform of the party and urged
the election of it's ticket. Following
him. John Hughes made much the SAME
address in English, claiming support
tative of the workingmen.
George A. Davis made much the most
forcible speech of the evening. Deai-
ing with the election of Sheriff ne

lance from one party TO another and
had been true to none. This was the

pervisors. and having its members ap-

that of the Board. 1t was not mat
fer that either Brown or Iaukea could
do.
what have the Democrats to offer
McClanahan had tried to make deal
with the Planters Association to throw
voice of McCIanahan, but the hand was
the hand of Kinney. AS 1t is at present
the Hswaiians have the best of 1t pol

licans mean to keep faith with the Ha-
waiians and they, the HaWai1ans,
should be careful lest in electing the
Democrats they exchanged what was
valuable to them for a mess of pot
tage They should stay with the party
which has treated them fairly.
McClanahan had raised the Cuban
issue. Now it is well known that by
treaty arrangement with the powers
the United States had bound itself to
preserve peace In Cuba, and if it had
to annex the island to do this then
annexation would come. The Hawaii
