cans, because if it had passed the run
ming of engines by Japanese would
have been stopped. He had always
| worked for the laboring men. but he
had been single-handed. Now he want
ed the laboring men to send more
Democrats to the Board of Supervisors

fix the minimum pay of workers at
$3.50 a day.
| David L. Kahaleaahu made long
address without any illuminating fea-
lures in it. He was followed by r.
II. Trent, whose Hawaiian was lin
tied, but evidently appreciated. He
referred to the fact that lately the
county warrants had been worth their
face value, and he wanted more Dem
ocrats on the County Board to see that
they were always kept so. He thought
that the Republicans had been riding
to power long enough on the backs Of
the people and then telling them to run
back home and scratch off the fleas.
Editor Like, of Aloha Alma. was the
next speaker. He is a candidate for
representative and pledged himself to
work for the welfare of the Hawaiians
| II elected. He expressed himself as OPP
posed to the open Sunday and the is
| suance of SO many fifth class liquor
| licenses.
| Charley Rose was cneered as he came
forward to speak. He promised to full
| fill the duties of County Auditor to the
best of his ability If he were the choice
of the people for that position. He was
out to win and would win If the people
voted true to their best interests and
elected the party under which every
man, rich or poor, was given an equal
show.
Frank r. Harvey, nominee as Su-
pervisor OF Large, said that he was
tired of seeing the county controlled
by the old police and road machines.
Others We're tired of these machines,
too. There was John Lane, who had
been run through the machine and had
had most of the RepublicanIsm wrung
out of him. Lane was on the fence
now and would probably be throwing
his strength to the Democrats before
the campaign was over. Sheriff Brown

worse, in not putting a stop to the
open gambling going on. The game at
the old fishmarket, for instance, was
notorious. Sometimes even the mem
bers of the police force were seen TAX
ing part in these games. Everybody
knows that gambling is going on now,
but If Iaukea is elected this state of
things will be stopped, especially if
he be backed up by other Democrats
in office. The speaker referred to the
trouble between himself and A. Fer
lnandez. He had agreed to let the NOM
ination go to Fernandez, but the con-
vention did not want it that way, and
he had bowed to the wish of the ma
jority, which in the Democratic party
ruled.
M. A. Silva made stirring speech.
He was proud to say that he was not
a machine candidate and was running
as a representative from the Fourth
for the Portuguese. The Republicans
had ridden on the Portuguese during
the past six years with their machine
and the Portuguese were tired of being
ridden on. They were going to vote
Democratic this time. 1t had been a
wonder to him how two or three men
had been able to ride on the people as
they had done. He saw no reason why
the Hawaiians and the Portuguese
should have to always carry the Re-
publcans to victory and then be left
outside tied up to a post. Silva asked
bitterly why the citizens here had not
been given the same chance to get land
as had been given to the Molokans in
stead of having been thrown out tc
make room for them. Such things as
that had driven the Portuguese out OF
Hawaii by the thousands, and now
after spending thousands getting II
other laborers the planters We're going
after more Portuguese. He asked the
people to get together and smash VI
the machine The haoles alone coulc
not do it. The Portuguese and the Ha-
waiians would have to help, and he be
lieved they would. They had got coun-
| ty government by insisting on II and
they could smash up the machine II
the same way.
w A. Kinney spoke on behalf of Cur
tbs Iaukea. He thanked the big audi
fence for their good conduct and atten'
tion. In November either Brown oil
Iaukea would be defeated. He knew
that the Brown people were spendinl
! money to keep the old machine a
work, but Iaukea's victory or defea
depended upon the people and not upor
any money. II Iaukea is elected th'
: old police machine would be wiped out
The Democrats had nominated a goot
{ set of men, because at their convention
there had not been any of the none,
or threats OF Sam Johnson goinl
around. The Democrats could not b.
l Influenced in that way, but placed thei
trust in doing what was right ant
: leaving II to the voters. On the sid
OF Iaukea were found the majority o
