ton. but l did not speak; there was
altogether too much booze there to
suit me. 1 would rather speak 10 ten
sober men who understand what L am
saying than to hundred who are
shouting and making a noise over
something of which they know moth
ing They shout to make a noise and
there is very little patriotism in the
shouts. The meeting at Keike's was
fair, but not what you would expect.
The crowd had to be brought over from
the Fifth because they are shy in the |
Fourth and the ticket is weak. We
have to cart the boys around to I'LL

see how they can do anything of the
of bringing out such candidates as
would be acceptable to the business
community and he is certainly one or
them. | do not think a single thing
can be said against him, and 1 regret
that he is not going back into the

The beer and booze campaign does
not appeal to w. Q. Smith and he is
in doubt of it's existence at the meet

as it is not brought on the scene until
after he leaves the locality it is easy
to see why he doubts it's existence.

DEMOCRATIC FUNDS Low.
Trent says the reasons the Democrats
do not supply seats for the audience
is because theirs is a shoestring cam
paign and that they have not the mon
ey to pay for the lumber nor the road
department wagons to haul it. He
seems to insinuate that Sam Johnson
is doing funny things in order to help
his party. The fact remains that Dem
ocratic audiences do not always appear
large and the cause may be traced to
the absence of music and comfort.
John Effinger denies that it is the alb
sence of money; he places the blame
on the managers who spend the cam
paign funds in ways that do not bring
as large returns as if comfortable seats
were provided for the crowd that would
be glad to stay and listen to the speak

THE JOE CLARK RALLY.
It is said that Joe Clark looks upon
the Sheriff as one of his dearest sup
porters and he is pleased to reciprocate.
And the public is considering the meet
ing of the Republicans at that partic-
ular corner last week in the light of
an endorsement of Joe's methods to
lead the young of both sexes down the
toboggan. Even the more respectable
of the speakers at that meeting de-
nounce the affair, and w. o. Smith
does not hesitate to put upon it his
stamp Of disapproval
ON THE BIG ISLAND.
Over on Hawaii the Republicans are
badly at outs. In the Hawaii Herald,
an erstwhile Republican paper, one
reads the following:
I have no personal knowledge of the
pilikia in the ranks of the Republican
party now Stumping the island,' said
Senator Palmer P. Woods, who arrived
by the steamer Kinau yesterday, but
L do know that there has been a split
ting up of the outfit somehow. The
story told up there is to the effect that
there was trouble between Wise, the
candidate for County Attorney, with
kamauoha and Nahale, the Republican
candidate for Sheriff It is asserted
that Wise, when speaking at Halawa,
said things which tended to injure the
party with the Hawaiians rather than
RI ESIH
travel with him any more. Holstein,
l understand, refused to speak for
Wise at Multi
Following this comes the inforna,
ton that Kuhio and Eben Low have
fallen out and have parted company.
Senator Woods was unable to give any
information regarding this rumor. but
it was learned over the wire that they
had difference as to the best method
OF conducting their campaign. and that
kuhio simply took charge, telling Low
to do as he pleased
Altogether the travelling aggregation
of Ali-Star Republicans appears to be
giving a good imitation of bear
garden.
FIGHT FOR CONGRESS.
On the big island things have been
happening between McClanahan and
Motley The Herald tells the tale as
follows:
I had been in HiIo less than an
hour when 1 heard that some of my
opponents were circula ting the rumor
among the Hawaiians that, should I
be elected Delegate to Congress,
should nave the Hawaiian people dis
franchised This did not come from
Kuhio. He is Il fair fighter, a man
whom 1 respect. The man who start
ed the rumor is a coward and liar
He must know that he is coward and
a liar. I say so here publicly and 1
authorize anyone here to repeat what L
say The idea of DISTINGUISHING Ha-
waiians not only never entered my
