ACHI MENTIONED.
Chairman Maiealua called the meet
ing to order with some felicitous ex-
pressions bearing upon w C. Achi, the
leader Of the other faction. He said
he was a stevedore and glad of the
honor that had been conferred upon
him by Mr.. Lane in making him the
chairman. He then introduced Eli j.
Crawford, president of the Moanalua
precinct.
Crawford seemed to be a sort of
electrical spark. At times his voice
panctured the walls of a saloon on
River street and when he told the
crowd that Achi's delegates to the
Territorial Convention were with
drawing from the tickets to be voted
upon today because they had not the
price Of a ticket to Waikiki. That be-
ing the case he failed to see the logic
of trusting a bankrupt crowd with the
important duty of naming a delegate to
Washington and urged everyone in the
audience, which included the usual
of ladies and children,
to vote for Lane delegates. He
urged his hearers to use care in
the selection of men for the county
offices and advised them to shut out
sentiment when it appeared to inter-
fere with wisdom.
POLITICS THE KEYSTONE.
Number two among the speakers
was Mr.. Piianaia. The speaker dwelt
long upon the qualification of the diff
ferent delegates, that is, those whom
he considered had any, and he remark
ed incidentally that Politics is the
keystone of government; without poll
tics none could be a success" He
roasted the executive for ignoring the
wishes of the County Committee rela-
tive to applications for office. This, he
said, is not in accordance with the
idea of square politics, at
least not as he understood it. He
denounced the Governor for his action
relative to w. o. Smith and Fred
Waterhouse and said it should be be-
meath the dignity of an executive to
NEEDLE in the politics of a precinct,
Should our candidates be elected to go
to the legislature he said, Eve will
show the Governor how to act.
SOME CAPITAL MUSIC
The singing by the Glee Club at the
close of the speech of Piianaia was
SO excellent that the chairman. for en-
of the many beautiful
young ladies present, requested the
boys to do it again.
ACHI WINS a FEW

audience that resembled Eben Lows

resentative, had been introduced by
Chairman Maiealua but for a moment
