has done nothing else during his term
and Moore had made about the same
record The Home Rulers had been
driven out OF office because they had
been corrupt, but now we find that
the Democrats are promising police
Jobs to the same Home Rulers. Is
that the way they are going to carry
out their promised reforms?
Then the speaker reviewed the his
tory of the Republican party, from the
days of Lincoln and of Blaine. "who
had torn the mask off the Democracy
and revealed the face of rebellion. I"
WILLIAM OWEN SMITH.
W. o. Smith, who was introduced as
the man whom all the Hawaiians
loved, spoke first in Hawaiian, re-
ferring to the work of Kuhio at Wash
ington. He concluded his address in
English, urging the election of the
straight ticket.
~ believe it is right he said,
that every citizen should be indie
pendent and vote as he thinks is best,
but there must be the regularly or
ganized parties and when these parties
bn, .. -. -, 4. a.,
duty of every good man to stand by
and support the ticket of his party.
Unless the whole ticket goes wrong
there is no reason why any part of it
should not receive support. 1t should
not be scratched for any personal rea-
son. 1t is not fair to the candidates
who are bearing the burden of the
party night to be sacrificed for any per-
sonal dislike some of the members of
the party may have against them. I'm
der the present circumstances it is
the duty of every right thinking citi-
zen to stand fairly by the whole
ticket.o
w. T. RAWLINS.
w. 7. RawlIns received good general
applause. He devoted his time to en-
larging on those planks of the plat
form dealing with the increase in
teachers salaries and the establish
ment of an agricultural college.
ARTHUR NJ. BROWN.
A. M. Brown said that he was the
one upon whom the opposition was
directing all its guns and he was hav-
ing fierce fight. Iaukea, his opponent,
was busy promising positions on the
police force to politicians, enough to
fill all the available jobs twice over.
If elected he would have to put in
his heelers or betray his promises, and
if he put in these heelers he would
have to fire the present members of
the force to make room for them.
Would this be fair to the police boys9
A certain element was backing lau-
kea, not because he was Democrat,
not because they thought that he would
carry out his promises, but simply to
down Brown. Anything to down
Brown was their motto and if he was
defeated they would think that their
victory was complete.
Kaleo, A. V. Gear, f. A. Long and
A. d. Castro followed, each repeating
very much the speeches they had made
before during the campaign.
DEMOCRATS UNFAIR TO HAOLES.
Charley Chillingworth made vio-
lent speech, accusing the Democrat
Hawaiians of playing the haoles of
Honolulu for suckers.
81 ask you to support the Repub-
lican candidates because the Hawaiian
Republicans are supporting the white
element on their ticket, and in this
support they are not backward. But
the Democrats who are going to re-
form everything in sight, including
the Republican party, are not treat
ing the whites on their ticket at all
fairly. There is not a Hawaiian Dem
ocratic candidate that can truthfully
say that he has yet askal voter to
support McClanahan. They talk about
reform. Is that the way to start
reform campaign, by putting up Me-
Clanahan as a joke to head their ticket
so as to get the white votes and then
making their appeals to the Hawaiians
to vote for the Hawaians on their
ticket and let the whites look out for
themselvesi The Hawaiian Repub-
licans on the other hand know that
to be successful they must have the
help of such men as w. o. Smith, w.
w. Harris and the other whites on the
ticket.
81 honor the Republican party be-
cause it has at the head of its ticket
Kuhio. The Hawaiians have lost their
flag and we are trying to be good Amer
leans, but to preserve our identity as
n race we are doing right in placing
kuhio at our head. If the whites are
going to allow themselves to be made
the catspaws of the Hawaiian Demo-
Gratis they will vote the Democratic
ticket, but if they believe in being fair
to all, haoles and Hawaiians alike, they
will vote the Republican ticket. The
Democrats are not treating the whites
fairly. The are not far to McClanahan
and to the whites of this town and
for that reason | denounce them. 1t
is not fair to put McClanahan at the
head of their ticket and then made
fool of him.
81 realize that in talking in this
way may be committing political sui
eide, hut | do not wish to be elected
unless the whole Republican ticket is
elected
The speaker then delivered a short
address in Hawaiian, being cheered by
the few who had remained at the
meeting until this time.
