The Democrats held a well-attended
and successful meeting last night on
the grounds of Frank Harveys Kalihi
residence
A large corps of speakers was on
hand and same good talk was listened
The hit of the evening was made by
Deacon Trent, who holds his audi
ence as well as any man on the local
stump.
The meeting was devoid IF sensa-
4iona1 incident and was or~erly and
well-conducted throughout.
SILVA STARTS.
AZ A Silva. was the first speaker.
He said in part.
sNThe Democratic party at it's con-
Vention selected representative men
for Its ticket who. if put in office, Will
work for the people whom they repre-
sent.
..Your welfare" continued silva.
demands that you vote for them on
November g. We, unlike the Repubi-
cans. are not in a position to tell you
that we have done this and that, for
the simple reason that the Democrats
have never had a chance to do any
thing Two years from now, however,
if we're elected, we'll point with pride
to what we've done.
'Any party in power too long is sure
to get rusty and out of the habit OF
doing things for you and me. Know
ing this to be fact, let us make
clean sweep. Let us out with the old
party and in with the new, vigorous
one. Give the Democrats the chance
for which they are asking. Kick the
machine out of office. 1t is no good
and in a small community like this is
not needed. The Democrats have no
machine and won't have one for the
simple reason that if elected next
month their good works will suffice
TO keep them in the offices to which
your votes, I trust, will elect them"
Silva's talk was very well received.
For the benefit of Portuguese present
he made a few remarks in their own
language.
All FATS ARGUMENT.
c. Ah Fat next mounted the stand.
He roasted the police machine for
the way its members packed the con-
vention and urged it's extinction which,
he said, could only be accomplished by
the Democrats at the polls. Then
Brown wanted certain men elected
Supervisors to serve his own private
Illustrate this scheme.
The speaker told his listeners to
vote the whole Democratic ticket and
not to distinguish between the haoles
and the Hawaiians A team of horses
was no good when separated, and the
haoles and Hawaiians on the Demo
cratic ticket were first-rate team.
BY voting the straight ticket, the
speaker was of the opinion that a
clean sweep might be made in Oahu
County.
After All Fat got through, voice
from the bushes shouted:
Democrats TO good-no beer
The speaker was promptly hidden to
hold his peace and he didn't let go of
it again during the rest of the evening.
SHERIFF BROWN UNFIT.

followed.
He drew particular attention to the
plank in the Democratic platform pro
viding for a minimum wage of $3.50 a
day for roadworkers, and stigmatized
Sheriff Brown as a man unfit to hold
office on account of neglect of duty |
in allowing gambling and other evils
to remain unchecked in town.
ROSE HEARD FROM.
Charlie Rose. with a big yellow lei
round his neck. did the next spell-l
binding. He spoke in English and
Hawaiian. |
He said that # elected Auditor no
mistake would have been made by the |
