The Hawaiian gazette., 1906-11-13


All now was thugless, empty and
forlorn.
Amid all this, the center of the scene,
The white-haired road-boss, with in
tuitlve dread,
Piled his slick spell, and with his job
less mien,
Reflected on the looping Of his head.
Long, but not loud, the endless chain
! had run
| Sereney over wheels with we'll
creased gears;
Long, but not loud, the memory Of the
gone
welled from his eyes flood Of
"phony" tears.
At last the chain was snapped-his job
/ was pau;
The new road-boss soon had things
on the jump;
The gang got busy and the has
been" now
Is slumbering peacefully on the gar
bage dump.
! Senator-elect Mccarthy, after thank
ing the voters for the confidence they
, had shown in electing him, promised
to introduce a measure simplifying the
ballot, so that there would be in the
future elections no such an cutlery for
any recount, recount which would
add considerably to the Democratic
majorities If insisted on. He promised
also to work for decent liquor law.
r. II. Trent, County Treasurer, was
in happy humor and made a witty
speech in giving credit and thanks to
the voters for his big majority. H.
emphasized the fact that the Demo-
cratic party realized the obligation
upon them to give clean government
of county affairs. He denied emphat-
ically that Iaukea would build up a
personal machine declaring that the
party would not stand for it, even If it
were attempted.
II. B. Mechanism said that he real
lied for the first time what a privilege
1t was to a man to be born prince.
For himself he was glad to see that
he had so many friends among the
Hawaiians. the vote in the Fifth Dis
trict showing that the malihini haole
was not without good friends here. He
seconded the idea expressed by Trent,
that the party realized its RESPONSE
bility, and called upon all good citizens
to help in seeing that whatever was
done would be for the benefit Of all.
Some reforming would have to be done;
there would have to be some cleaning
out and some examples made
Frank Harvey called the attention of
all to what he believed to be a fact,
that the present Republican Super
visors We're trying to clean out the
county treasury. so that their success,
ors would be Handicapped at the start.
He also referred to the comments in
the papers that the new board would
be practically all Hawaiians and there
fore incompetent. He believed that
when their term was up even the
haoles would have to say that they had
done WELL for they intended to do well
by all, HGwaiians, haoles, Civic Fed
GRAFTON and everybody.
Col. C. p Iaukea asked the people
to lay aside the prejudices of the cam
paign and work together for the good
of the community, drawing no color
line. ~He had no personal feelings
against the present Sheriff and he
could only promise the people that he
would 90 his full duty when he as
sumed office.
The Shcrff-eiect was loudly cheered
as he concluded his modest speech, the
cheering continuing for some minutes.
For the Deputy Sherff-elect. w. p.
Jarrett, who was absent, the chairman
rendered his thanks to the people for
the big majority they had given him.
w. y. Kinney was warmly received
He spoke partly in Hawaiian, warming
the crowd up as he proceeded He eX-
pressed his great pleasure at the man
ner in which the Hawuiians had proved
themselves above the bride campaign
carried on among them by the Repub-
leans, with their booze, buncombe and
money. The rebuke they had given
Brown for the speech he made at Iwi-
lei should be n wholesome lesson TO all
pandering politicians. He congratu-
lated the Hawaiians for the proper race
spirit they had shown, a spirit of
which they might be proud so long as
II led in the selection of candidates of
any color who conducted as clean a
campaign as the Hawaiian candidates
on the Democratic ticket.
The time had now come when all
races should lay aside their prejudices
and vote for the man. He predicted
that within the next ten years we
should see Hawaiian Governor, not
because he was Hawaiian, but be-
cause he was the best man for the |
job, and we would also see a white del |
egate. not chosen for his color. but for
his qualifications.
Speaking in English he repeated
much which he had said in Hawaiian,
congratulating the Hawaiians that
they had turned deaf ear to the can
didates who campaigned with beer,
money and appeals to their race preju-
dice and calling up of the animosi-
ties of the past revolutionary periods.
He cautioned the voters about ex-
pecting too much at first from the
elected men, asking for patience until
they We're firmly in the saddle and had
learned the ropes.
Several other speakers addressed the
large audience, many of the defeated
candidates announ"'nr nat they would
be In the field in 1908.
