WE'D, FEB. q. 1906.

1t was our pleasure to witness
a session of both houses OF our
Legislature last week and from
the standpoit of general INTEL
gence we are here state that Ken
lucky has now a body of men that
reflect credit on the State. In
conversation with several, famil-
with other legislatures OF the
past, everyone stated that the
present one was in advance IN
point of general appearance, IN
social make up and business abil-
ity. One thing discernable that
marks h e present gathering
from some of the former ones is,
that there is scarcely a member
who INDUCES in the use Of whisky
The fact is that we have an IN
telligent, business set OF men,
moral and upright, who are max
ing our laws and remodeling
some that should be readjusted.
A visit to our Legislature will
give you a better idea OF Ken
lucky citizenship and cause you
feel that our State is not behind
in Intelligence, gameness and
advancement. Proud Old Ken
lucky, your name in former
years was not behind the lead In
the great family of States, but
unfortunately, the last few years,
the decade just past, left the I'M
print of indiscretion on t h e
minds of the great public, shame
and misdeeds crowded on your
brow, your name furnished and
your honor and prestige weaken
ed, it is again reasertlng the
great makeup Of a noble people
and a progressive State. The
evidence of this is manifested at
Frankfort in the good will that
pervades our Legislature, in the
intelligence that represents near
ly every county and Senatorial
district and reflects credit and
honor on the people. We are
moving out of the old ruts, the
fire of partisan passion has been
reduced toits minimum and the
sober sense Of justice and fair
play reigns supreme. There is
not an intelligent Kentuckian
who could visit the present Leg
islature and not feel inspired
feel that the rough and tumble
days of a few years ago have all
been past and that Kentucky and
Kentuckians acknowledge no SUI
periors.

Mr.. A. B. Bradshaw states: I know
we ought to have better roads, but l
do not know just what our taxes will
be to make them. If l knew what the
entire levy would be / could probably
tell you whether or not would faver
it. At any rate you may say that /
always abide by the decision of the ma
jority. The grader has not done our
road any good. The grade is just right
for rock.
H. B. Garrett said: Put me down for
bridges. and roads, crushers and tax.
We have plenty of rock and if the
county will crush them our people will
put them on the road. Use the grader
and follow with good coat of stone,
and the people will not grumble about
the tax.
Mr.. A. G. Todd, believe we ought
TO Bridge Green River, at Neatsville,
and that we should buy one crusher,
two if we are able, and put them to
work. I want to see good roads and
want our county to take up this PROPOSE
ton as early as possible. l believe
that our road system ought to be
changed and then put the crushers to
work.
G. A. Cheatham, says: believe in
making good roads. If we only make a
small amount Of roads each year then
we should make it good. l faver buy
ing a crusher and use stone. It is the
only way we can make lasting road.
Mr.. C. S. Collins, gives it this way.
l am opposed to the county buying a
rock crusher, engine or any other i'm

Is to be paid by taxation, until we get
done paying this tax that was raised by

SALARIES CONTRAsTED.

Ioela said that the Republicans had
urged that a chance be given the Dem
ocrats to make good. The road board
only paid men s1.25 a day and the
Democrats if successful would raise
this rate. The police machine paid it's
underlings $40 a month while the poor
Hawaiians working on the roads in the
hot sun, only received s1.25 a day. Last
Sunday he had hade the rounds of the
Palama saloons and found a disgrace

women drunk in some of the dives.

If the Democrats got in they would
fight for the poor man. Even Dave

ways and had Joined the Democratic
ranks.

W. Paul Jarrett, who was well-re-
ceived, especially by the ladies, asked
the crowd to vote the Democratic
ticket from head to tall He de-
scended from the stump greeted by
chorus of "alohas,"
MOORE UNAPOLOGETIC.
H. T. Moore had no apology to make
for coming before the people as a Dem
ocrat. There were just as good men
on the Democratic ticket as on any
other tricket. The Republican party
had promised certain things and had
signally failed TO give them.
HUSTACE'S SWEET BAIT

Charlie Hustate had promised that if
his party got in again the Water
Works and Sewerage departments
would be turned over to the county

Gratis they will vote the Democratic

will vote the Republican ticket. The
Democrats are not treating the whites
fairly. The are not fair to McClanahan
and TO the whites of this town and
is not fair to put McClanahan at the
head of their ticket and then made
a fool of him.
81 realize that in talking in this
way j may be committing political sui

The speaker then delivered a short
address in Hawaiian, being cheered by
the few who had remained at the
meeting until this time.
NEED SOME LAWYERS.
F. w. Warehouse pointed out that
If the Democratic candidates for the
House were elected in this county it
would leave that assembly without
lawyer in it. None of the other is
lands had nominated lawyers nor had
the Oahu Democrats. Some lawyers
were needed there and for that reason
it would be unwise to return the Demo-
cratic candidates.
There being no other speakers, Chair
man Crabbe announced the meeting
closed, three cheers peing given for
60 the ticket by the candidates and
those active partisans who had re-
manned throughout the meeting.

form dealing with the increase in
teachers salaries and the establish

ARTHUR M. BROWN.
A. NJ. Brown said that he was the
one upon whom the opposition was
directing all it's guns and he was hav-
ing fierce fight. Iaukea, his opponent,
was busy promising positions on the
police force to politicians, enough to
i'll all the available jobs twice over.
If elected he would have to put IN
his heeIers 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 boys?
A certain element was backing Tau
kea, not because he was a 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, E. 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 ChiIlingworth made a VIC
lent speech, accusing the Democrat
Hawaiians of playing the haoles of
Honolulu for suckers.
~ 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 Hawaiian Dem
ocratic candidate that can truthfully
say that he has yet asked voter to
support McClanahan. They talk about
reform. Is that the way to start
reform campaign, by putting up Nc
CIanahan as joke to head their ticket
so as to get the white votes and then
making their appeals to the Hawaiians
to vote for the Hawaiians on their
ticket and let the whites look out for
themselves The Hawaiian Repub-
Iicans 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.

hand she doesn't like to have him
Jagged up and come home and start

go out and ask people to vote for him,
he would rather be voted for upon the
record he has made. If the people are
satisfied with the record he had made,
he hoped they would vote for him;
otherwise they could vote for someone
else.
A Hawaiian from Koolau spoke for
twenty minutes going pretty generally
into the history of the country The
audience showed fatigue and Wade w.
Thayer, who had just arrived, was
asked to speak.
w. W. THAYER AFTER BROWN.
Mr. Thayer expressed gratitude at
the presence of the audience on such
windy and rainy night, but added
that it was peculiar to the Democrats
to attend meetings. He ridiculed the
promises made by Gear that when he
is elected he will have the police force
increased thirty men. He said there
was no city on the mainland of the
same population that has the same
number of policemen as Honolulu. In
one place as big as this the police
force is no larger than that which
Brown put in the last Republican
convention. He said he thought Gear
a pretty nervy man to say he would
see that the present useless police
force will be increased. Gear, he
said, is one of the men belonging to
the machine. that is controlled by
Arthur Brown. Honolulu has no more
crime than many cities on the main
land which are policed by half as
many men. There is no more bar
liquor sold in the saloons. The advan-
tage those cities have over Honolulu
is in having no Brown, and no Gear
to use the police force in building poll
itical fences. If the police were atten-
ding to their business the robberies
would be less frequent.
EMMELUTH SPEAKS.
John Emmeluth's remarks were
mainly against the political subdivi-
sion of the island which gives the out
side districts with a registration of less
than 1900 three members on the Board
of Supervisors while Honolulu with
Its 5000 voters has but TWO members.
Emmeluth said the division was
made so that the plantations would
have control He roasted Jim Low for
colonizing his plantation at Eva so as
to have control of the politics there
during the next two years. He said
there is no place outside Honolulu
where a man can get employment and
not be under the beck and call of the
plantations.
H. T. Moore also spoke of the local
conditions. hitting the Republican party
rap for holding the meeting in front
of Joe Clark's saloon so the candidates
and audience might fill up on booze.
He touched up Link McCandless again
for employing Japanese when citizen
labor is plentiful.

DEMOCRATS AT KAKAAKo.

Down in the Kakaako belt the Dem
ocrats held a rousing meeting last
night. The rostrum was erected in
front of the Kumalae block on lower
Queen street and the words of the
speakers were punctuated by the mu-
sic of the Kakaako mission chorus and
the strains of a guitar waking things
up at a neighborhood luau.
The crowd was a large one. the Ia
dies being out in force. Even the up
stairs in the tenement houses in the
vicinity were well-filled with listeners.
There were those in the crowd who
said that number of laborers went
upstairs where they could hear with
out being seen, on account of instruc-
lions having been given workers in the
road and garbage departments not to
attend Democratic meetings.

CANDIDATE CATHCART

had made
CANDIDATE CATHCART.
Cathcart reminded his hearers that
it was only by supporting the party
straight through, in municipal as well
as national elections, that the party
organization could be preserved The
Democrats did not expect to elect their
ticket, but hoped only to break in with
one or two of their men. They were
not appealing TO the electors on any
principles They were using abuse
without arguments in their campaign
and presenting no facts to the people.
Ihey are shouting TO smash the ma
chine and this cry from them is like
Satan reproving sin, for their own
party is machine-ridden. 1t is a poor
cry and stolen thunder at that, a cry
that would not deceive a thinking
child, The fact that there had been a
secret ballot at the convention suffi-
GENTLY proved the falsity of the cry of
machine.
The Democratic party was simply a
party OF foolish. silly remuneration. 1t
was party of remnants and left-overs
from the Republicans. Curtis Iaukea
had been the biggest talker at the first
IsSp1pI4tou convention. Inc people
knew what he had been, but no one
could know what he was going to be
next. Charley Broad, Democratic
candidate for the Senate, had been
once elected by the Republicans to the
House, then he joined the Civic Feds
and now was a Democrat. NJ A. Silva
had been the president of a Republican
club only a few weeks ago, and Joe
Fern, now on the Democratic ticket as
candidate. had sat in the last Repub-
lican convention
Thayer is in opposition 20 the increase
of the police force. Thayer's idea of a
man who was a hard worker and not
a loafer was a fellow who could play
golf well.
Il assert said the speaker, that
the efficiency of the police force in the
enforcement of the law and the sup
preston of crime is greater here in
bonoluiu than in any other city of the
United States, I may say, the world,
and figures and statistics will bear me
out in the statement. There is less
crime here and less crime unpublished
than in any other city. This efficiency
is due almost solely and entirely to
the man at the head of the police de-
partment. Sheriff A. NJ. Brown. And

a few disgruntled Republicans would
replace by Curtis Iaukea.',
