TIC SPEAKERS.

highly successful There was a goodly
crowd attending each of them as well
as plenty of enthusiasm. The speeches
by the different candidates were well
received and being heartily appauded
time and again. One Of the meetings
was held in Pauoa and the other at S.
M. Damon's place at Moanalua.
Albert Kauwe presided over the
meeting at Pauoa and introduced the
different speakers.
f. w. Weed, Democratic candidate
for the House, was introduced and he
plunged Immediately into the issues of
the campaign. He said that he advo-
Gated the change in the present liquor
law which would prevent such scenes
as he had witnessed of boys and girls
staggering around the streets under
the influence of drink. He also called
attention to the public school system.
He said that he opposed the effort to
spread the accommodations in the pub
lie schools to meet the wants of Ash
atics so that a sufficient salary could
not be paid to teachers in order to
keep them here to teach the children
of the white population and of the Ha-
waiians the best that could be taught
them. He stated also that he was in
favor of throwing open the expert
mentation for the cure of lepers and
not restricting it to a few so that those
who had far more vital interest in
the cure of the disease should not be
shut out from trying it as they are at
present.
County Treasurer Trent was intro
duced to the audience and spoke of
how the man who formerly earned 81
was only paid 9S cents, but that since
he was treasurer all had been paid dol
lar for dollar. He was glad to see in
the history of Hawaii once more that
it was safe for an employee of the road
department or the police department to
attend a Democratic meeting. He was
ashamed that such had not always
been the case. He spoke of the rea-
sons why it was safe today. 1t was
because of a resolution introduced by
Supervisor Moore to the Board of Su-
pervisors to the effect that no one
should be discharged for such reasons.
He was ashamed that such resolution
had been found necessary. 1t was
digrace to the Republicans. The best
thing that the voters could do was to
vote for and elect the Democratic can
didate.
w w. Thayer was the next speaker.
He spoke of the announcement made
bv A, V. Gear at the meeting of the
Republicans at Aala Park on Saturday
evening when he said that larger po-
lice force was needed to successfully

this Mace Thayer denied the state
ment and said that if the police would
nay more attention to crime and less
to politics that the present force Woulu
be quite sufficient.
