Curtis P. Iaukea, Democratic candi-

opposed to the police machine in poll
tics, made what is probably his
strongest speech in the campaign at the
Democratic meeting at the Pauoa
schoolhouse last evening He lashed
the machine. Brown and his supporters,
and made a straightforward appeal to
the honesty of the voters to vote for
good government as against a grating
and dishonest police administration as
conducted at the present time.
The Pauoa meeting was the largest
and most enthusiastic meeting yet held
in that valley. The attendance Of vot-
ers. Hawaiians, Portuguese and haoles
generally, was unusually large, and the
speakers were interrupted with fire.
auent bursts of applause. Ernest ka-
ais quintet was present, and just be
fore Col. Iaukea spoke, the club sang
and played the new Iaukea campaign
song. which viii be sung again tonight
at the Aala Park rally, when Mr. Nc
Clanahan will open his campaign on
this island Mr. Iaukea spoke first in
English and he said in part:

want to see the laws enforced for their
own protection and for the protection

dren.

issue that I believe is the greatest a.

other issues. but there is one great
issue and NAV I tell You what it is?
TT is a question that has to DO Win
local matters, pure and simple, without
reference to other issues that may con-
cern the general public. Do you know
what II is? I am sure you all 40
