would disfranchise the Hawaiians, but

publicly denied, but McClanahan read
a number of affidavits from different
parts of Hawaii to back up his charges.
The speaker also referred to the Fif-

not in the power of Congress to de-
prive the Hawaiians of the franchise.
IAUKEA'S STRONG SPEECH.
c. p. Iaukea, who was preceded by
the candidate for Deputy Sheriff, w. p.
Jarrett, repeated his pledges to give the
county a clean police administration if
elected Sheriff. He was cheered re-
peatedly throughout his speech and
again and again the special campaign
song was sung in his honor. He said:
"You have all heard of the leading
issue of the campaign, the common is
sue for the common good. But there is
a local issue as important, for it affects
every man, woman and child in the cOun-
ty. I refer to the question: of, election of
your Sheriff. Mr.. Brown, the Republican
candidate, has stated in public
speech that Iaukea will enforce the
law, warning the people that Iaukea
means what he says. What does
Brown mean by this? He means that
if he is retained in office that he will
not enforce the law, and that we will
have an open town. He might just as
well have said so in SO many words
Mr. Brown took a solemn oath to en-
force the law. What does he mean by
his speech?
And Mr. Brown is right in what he
said of me. | promise you that if am
elected l will certainly enforce the law.
This I pledge you. What more can L
do? What more can any man do who
is elected to enforce the law?
DO you want an open town? l do
not believe that you do. No, every
honest citizen, no matter what his pol
itics. can not help but disapprove of
the things that have been going on
before our eyes. Step across the street
here any night and you will find things
running wide open, women and girls
coming out of the saloons under tbs
il; ;luence of liquor sold after legal
hours.
"'Whv is it today that leading Re
publicaHs are not supporting the NOM
inees of their party? 1t is because
these candidates are the representa-
tives of the machine and they Will not
stand for it. Do YOU mean to go back
to machines and bosses2 The Demo
Il stand pledged 10 do what is right.
I will carry out the law and oppose
the open town. The police know what
is going on as well as most of us do.
Brown may be honest, but ii he can t,
won t see what is going on under his
eyes. he is not fit to hold the high
position he has Eeen trusted with.
81 have found out many things IN
nv house-to-house canvass. / have
found that there are many places IN
MoiIiili and Kalihi where liquor is be
ing sold unlawfully. God knows there
are enough licensed places in Honolu-
lu without allowing the unlicensed ones
to run. And the police must know of
these places. Will the community
stand for this state of affairs? Why
it means that our very homes are
threatened if we allow this to go on.
On election day, if you are in favor of
allowing such things to continue. vote
for the Republican candidates, but L
appeal to the seIf-respect of every
honest man, of all parties, to show
their disapproval by voting the Demo
cratic ticket. -
Iaukea concluded his address by urg-
ing the support OF McClanaha7, a man
of whom the party was proud. a fit
ting representative for the Territory.
