MACHINE
TREACHERy
A Bad Give-Away at
the Aala Park
Meeting.

ENlOence tnat the straight ticket Is
being betrayed by the machine is piling
up fast. Last evening at Aala Park,
while an Advertiser reporter was
standing in a group with Brown and
Gear, one of Sam Johnsons men, who
wore a Brown badge, was heard to
say that a policeman had told him TO
vote for Brown, Vida and Kuhio, and
to HI with the rest The Sheriff
was greatly taken aback. but he recov-
cred himself. and in tone of great
apparent indignation, demanded of the
| man who the policeman was. Sans
man pointed out Officer Bishaw, and
the Sheriff, accompanied by Gear. went
| over and called him down so all could
hear. 1t was a pretty comedy while it
| lasted
| At most of the meetings where the
Bishaw family sings. the pater disturbs
| the singers and annoys the audience
| by breaking out with ''Tha's away
boys A NJ Brown" with particular
emphasis on the Brown. One of the
| county committee was asked why the
man insisted on breaking in, and he
replied that Bishaw had been spoken
to and his answer was that Brown had
asked him to work it up for him.
HOME RULE FAILURE.
There were a number of Democrats
in the audience at Aala last night and
| more Home Rulers. The presence OF
the latter may be accounted for by the
fact that when they went to Emma
Square to hold their meeting there was
no Juice in the electric wires and con-
sequently no lights.
] The Republicans promised to let US
have the lights said one of them at
At'a, but when we went there we
could not find any, and the park keep
er was absent. We sent a committee
to Headquarters in the afternoon and
got a promise that was not kept.
Eupahea, one of the candidates, later
admitted that the request had been
sent in too late.
SOME FUNNY THINGS.
There We're a number of unusual oc-
currences during the meeting. The au-
dience was large, attentive and above
the average in point of intelligence, but
lacking in enthusiasm. 1t was expect
ed that w. O. Smith would answer Nc
Clanahan's speech of Saturday night
and the crowd went there expecting
something out of the ordinary. When
Mr. Smith did not appear man In the
audience was overheard asking why
Mr.. Smith, instead of Kuhio. was Civ

said. for him to take more Peruna to
bring him up to good, healthy point it
should be provided by the Republican
committee
TOO MUCH BOOZE.
The promoters of the Pearl City &-
cursion last Saturday night realize that
they made a great mistake in having
the Republican meeting so near the two
saloons and declare that the next time
they go down country the gathering
will be at the Peninsula, where they
will be away from the vile and the
careless, where the booze will be near
er the water and the effect will not
be so noticeable.
