DEMOCRATS
ROAST THE POLICE
TWO MEETINGS LAST NIGHT AT
WHICH MANY SUPPORTERS OF
IAUKEA SPOKE.

At the Kakaako Democratic meeting
Trent caught the crowd with a hui
morous illustration Of the way in
which he said the Republicans treat
the Hawaiians before election ana af-
ter. Trent had Two Hawaiian young
sters i'm a wheel5arrow ana wheeled
them about, saying tnis action repre-
scented Republicans treatment oe Ha-
waiians before election. Then he sud-
denly dumped them QUE las repre-
sentation of the treatment 11awailans
got after election Trent said the DEM
ocrats were making no promises to
pay more than $3.50 per day to labor
ers and they would keep their promjs-
es. He roasted the Republicans for
having beer at their meetings.
AT the Republican meeting here the
other night" said Trent, you had
plenty of beer served 20 you. Now,
suppose some of you were running for
Office and you wanted the white votes,
and suppose you went up to w. O.
Smiths and Fred Warehouses; section
and held meetings right an front OF
their places, and suppose you took
up and invited everybody up there, in
Guiding wives and daughters, to join
you and get drunk, what do you think
they would do?
Don't let the life of this fair land be
throttled with drinking, lying and
cheating. Do you want the reputation
to go out to the mainland and to Eu-
rope and all over the world that the
Hawaiians are a race of dYunkards?
Then don't follow the methods of the
Republicans.
Il believe that the Hawaiian people
will answer this plea and live right
and that you will vote for the right
people to exercise the functions of gov
eminent in proper manner, and those
persons are the Democrats"
Thayer said that beer was all the ar

campaign. Referring to the liquor law
he admitted it had been drawn in his
office, for his former law partner, but
said that it had been so amended by
the Republicans that it was no longer
anything like the law as drafted. w.
o. Smith had apologized for some of
the men on the Republican ticket, but
the Democrats did not need to apollo

Fred Weed declared for public i'm
provements, a new liquor law and the
Platforms leprosy plank. Jarrett
predicted Democratic success. NJ. A.
Silva discussed the land laws at length

Charles Broad referred to the Re-
publican convention as a STUFFED" con-
vention. and gave general discussion
of the Democratic ticket.
The Liliha street Democratic meet
ing was interrupted to some extent by
the high wind which made speaking
difficult. The Rev. J. w 49pikane pre-
sided. Dan Kamahu made the first
speech, charging the Republicans with
calling natives monkeys. He said the
Republican elephant had entered the
house of the natives ana thrown the
