SHERIFF NOT SO MUCH.
s. L. Noar, candidate for County At
torney, said he was going to speak on
purely local issues. The voters had
heard enough of Washington and Cuba
from the other party speakers, who
avoided the matters close at home, evil
IDENTIFY thinking that the people had
no common sense. All had heard of
the Republican machine. Its existence
was not denied by the Republicans,
Prince Cupid only saying that the
Democrats on Hawaii had a worse one.
Both machines were bad and the can
didates elected by either would have
to dance like a monkey on a stick to
the machine music.
The County Sheriff was not the most
important on the County ticket. For
that reason the Home Rulers had not
named a candidate The County Attor-
ney was the important one. At best
the Sheriff is only the head policeman
and had to do what the County AttOr-
ney told him and no more. Therefore
the selection of the County Attorney
was an important matter. If he be a
machine man he would have to do the
machine work first and protect the peo
pie after. If he be connected with any
gang of bosses or a vice syndicate he
would have to protect them, with the
result that if the gang wanted to trump
up a charge against anyone the Coun
ty Attorney would have to prosecute
him.
IF / am elected acclaimed the
speaker, 81 promise a square deal to
everyone, rich or poor. If man is in
nocent he will be set free, but if he
is guilty he will have to take his
medicine
CANDIDATE CHARLES K. MOTLEY.
Charles K Motley brought to the
voters of Oahu the aloha Of the Home
Rulers of Maui, who had sent a message
asking the people of this County to
stand together with them afGS elect
Motley as their delegate. The Home
Rule party was pledged to send Ha
waIlan TO Congress. 1t was the party
which had secured the right of the
franchise for the Hawaiians, a right
of which they should be proud and
which they should guard. Delegate
Wilcox had gained that right for them,
Now is the time for the Hawaiians to
show their appreciation by uniting in
support of the Home Rule party.
The speaker referred to the various
accomplishments OF Wilcox and com
pared them to those of Kuhio to prove
that the Home Rulers were recognized
in Congress and had done bettes for
the people. He warned all Hawaiians
that the American government was
watching Hawaii to see if the Hawai-
ians were using their franchise wisely
and if they all united as Home Rulers
the government would be satisfied that
they were. The American government
loved the Hawaiians and the Hawaiians
ought to show their appreciation by
voting with the Hawaiian party and
not jumping from one TO another.
The Refunding Bill was referred to
by the speaker as useless thing even
if it were to pass. The bill did not
give any money to the local govern
ment and provided only for Federal
expenditures. With it the country
would be no better off than at present.
Kuhio had done a bad thing when
he had a bill passed allowing the local
legislature to revise the election laws.
A time might come when the Hawaiians
would be in minority in the govern
ment and their rightS might be cur
tailed.
The reason the Territory never got
anything now from Congress was be-
cause a clique only was represented
there. not the Hawaiian people. Neither
a Democrat nor a Republican as dele
gate could secure the favors from Con
gress that a Home Ruler could, be-
cause a Home Ruler would be known as
the representative of the Hawaiian
people.
REPUBLICANS AT KAKAAKO.
Republicans held wellattended
meeting at Kakaako last night, but not
at the Ward street stump. as had been
originally planned. It was decided
that Sam Johnson's road was too bad
to tempt voters to the intended
rendezvous and the gathering was ac-
cordingly held IN front of the kumalae
block
\ clever quintet club whiled away
the interval between speeches.
Henry Kane officiated as chairman
in his usual genial manner.
John Hughes was first up and dweA
in inequivocal terms on the excellence
of voting the straight Republican
ticket.
ELIAS ELOQUENCE.
Ella Long reviewed the pianks of the
Republican platform and said good
word for each. If the natives ana
other voters supported the straight
ticket they would be voting for the
prosperity of their children, based on
good education.
The Republican party was opposed
tn trusts and monopolies which check
