DEMOCRATS REPLY
TO CHILLINGWORTH
DECLARE THEY ARE SUPPORTING
McCLANAHAN AND HE WILL
MAKE HIS OWN FIGHT.

The Democrats meeting at Emma
/ Square last night began with reply to
| Charles +. Chilling worth by Chairman
| Mossman, IN the proposition of Demo-
uats' failure to give McCl lpahan any
support. Mossman said in part

! treating us unfairly. That is just inc
trouble VITA their own Isity. They
are not treating one smother squarrly.
1t was the same in their convention
THE difficulty in the Republican
party iusr now is that it is in troubla 2.
Its county and legislative ticket IS in
! jeopardy of being defeated ana the
! speakers are trying to turn the fight
onto the Delegate.
I'VE put up Delegate for the rea-
son we believed it would not be right
| otherwise. The situation in the United
States calls for it. The two men most
! liable to be nominated for the presi-
dency on the Republican ticket are w.
H, Taft and Joe Cannon. Joe Cannon
is opposed to the demands of the labor
! ing men. Taft has been doing and is
doing everything he can to get Philip
/ mir iYotO ha
which would be ruinous to Hawaii.
with the Democrats, it is between
Bryan and Hearst, the champions of
! the laboring men. The Republican
party is drifting toward the annexation
| of Cuba. We know the sugar planters
| of Cuba will move heaven and earth
! to get Cuba annexed to get. their sugar
/ into the United States free. That
would mean ruination to this country
and all you possess.
Can you blame us, then, for placing
at the head of our ticket man like
E. B. McClanahan, man in whom we
have every confidence, and who will do
what he can to prevent the annexation
of Cuba to the United States, should
he be sent to Washington?
THE fight for the delegateship is
separate from the county and legisla-
! tive fight. 1t is a fight Mr.. McClana-
han wants to make himself. 1t is by
his request that we leave it until the
| 9th of October when he will be here
and able to fight his own battle, and
he does not want any help"
NJ. A. Silva said it was public money
not Republican money, that had done
work for the county and he went after
Land Commissioner Pratt, saying that
the land Office had not given Portuguese
a fair show to get public land.
Joe Fern, who was a delegate in the
! Republican convention this year. said
he knew there was a Republican ma
chine and Jarrett promised to work for
a clean administration if made deputy
sheriff, and proceeded to answer Henry
| Vida's attack on Kinney for the latter's
part in the events of 49,
Vida stated that Kinney was leader
in the court-martial after the 1895 up
rising" said Jarret. Il tell you today
that a Senator on the Republican ticket
w. o. Smith, was the Attorney General
at that time and he declared martial
law, and that same Smith ordered Kin
ney to act as Judge Advocate. At the
same time Alex Robertson, chairman of
| the Republican Territorial Committee
was on that military commission. If
this is the kind of campaign material
that Vida wants l will tell you now that
/ the most shady characters from the
point of view raised are on the Republi-
can ticket and they are numerous.
1.-THE darkest one is A. NJ. Brown,
candidate for Sheriff, who was Deputy
Marshal of the Republic at that time,
and he arrested Hawaiians and put
them in Jail as an official. Alex Rob-
ertson was Judge Advocate and Prince
! Cupid was brought before him and
condemned to death at that time. Yet
with all these facts before them, the
Republicans are trying 10 steal your
votes by making such misleading state
ments, thereby creating the worst kind
of race prejudice.
"The father of these things in '95 was
| w. o. Smith and his partner was A. M.
Brown, the man who gave the special
officers guns and ordered them to shoot
a Hawaiian if he saw him rum"
! Broadreferted to GeaHs speeches
as full of rash promises which he could
not fulfill. Fred Weed spoke for local
option and high license, also for a
citizen labor law.
The Democratic meeting at Kalihi
| last night was a very successful one.
There were about two hundred pre-
! sent. Henry Iaea presided. The first
/ speaker was Kahiona Appalachian, of
Laie, one of the party candidates for
| representative from the fifth district.
He said that the reports of very
large Republican meeting at Laie on
the occasion of the visit there of the
| Republican candidates, was an error;
that the meeting was not largely at
tended. The people of Koolau, he
said, who had in the past been strongly
for Home Rule, were this year joining
the Democratic party.
Frank r. Harvey was the second
speaker. He spoke at some length
