SPEECHES GALORE
BY REPUBLICANS
LARGE MEETING LAST NIGHT AT
WHICH CANDIDATES WE'RE
WARMLY RECEIVED.

v
many speakers were received with APP
! plause. The speakers trained their
guns largely on McClanahan and Trent.
h. X. Lilikalani presided at the Ka-
kaako meeting, and introduced Senator
! McCandless as the first speaker. He
appealed for straight ticket voting and
said that the Republicans had brought
prosperity and would maintain it. A.
V. Gear declared for a revision of the
tax laws so that the counties would do
the collecting instead of the Territory,
and for wage rate of $3.50 per day for
laborers. Sam Dwight followed in
similar strain, but said that it would
be necessary to see how much money
would be available before any definite
wage rate could be settled
w. o. Smith and John Hughes were
both well received. The former re-
viewed the work the Republican party
has done and the latter added his
pledge that the Republicans would deal
fairly with the people. F. T. p. Water
house made an appeal for Kuhio.
Henry Vida made an appeal for
Brown and in reply to Democratic pro-
misses Of better pay for road work he
said that Fern and Harvey were pay
ing their own men only So per week. He
said that Brown had been an efficient
! officer and knew the business and that
his opponents were a disgruntled ele-
ment among Republicans. Vida roast
ed Iaukea as one who had thrown
down his queen in 1898 and aided with
the Provisional government
w. T. Rawlins wanted to know why,
if Brown and the police were not all
right, the Democrats had renominated
Moore, who had signed every report of
the supervisors generating the police.
He said Moore was a member of the
police committee of the board and had
sustained Brown every time and yet
the Democrats were roasting Brown
and supporting Moore
Chillingworth made a strong appeal
for Kuhio, referring to McClanahan as
haole malihini. He said that Ha-
waiians should support their prince.
Brown had "a Hawaiians and only IA
haoles on the police force said Chilling
worth.
81 am accused of saying the thing
that is not So" said Chillingworth,
/ when 1 said that none of the Demo-
cratic candidates in their speeches in
Hawaiian ever urged the Hawaiians
to vote for McClanahan. But l repeat
what I said in this matter, and I saw
now that if anyone says that at anv
Democratic meeting he ever heard any
Hawaiian speaker, speaking in the Ha-
Wallan language urge the Hawaiian to
vote for McClanahan, it becomes a
question of veracity between him and
me and one or the other of us is likely
to get hurt"
"They say that Brown is a haole,"
said Chillingworth, "but 1 say that he
is Hawaiian, for he was born on the
soil and brought up here. I, too, am
a Hawaiian. 1 am not ashamed to say
it and I will stand by the Hawaiians.
Now about that haole Trent. He has
said that John Baker had come to him
and offered to sell out of he were given
500, but when Baker came face to face
to him, Trent made himself pretty
scarce"
A. d. Castro, E. A. c. Long and c.
Hustace made short speeches and were
loudly applauded
At the Liliha street meeting many
of the same speakers We're heard and
they delivered much the same address,
es. Piianaia was the chairman. Paoo
and Sylvester Correa were among the
first speakers. Charlie Hustace made
big hit, especially with the ladies,
and Henry Kauwe spoke for a straight
ticket and roasted the Civic Feds. A.
V. Gear made quite a lengthy speech,
saying in part:
What better men can you have for
the Senate than w. o. Smith, L. L.
McCandless and Charles Chillingworth?
What better men for Representatives
than those you have named from the
Fifth District? The Democratic party
has never given you poi and fish; the
Home Rulers have never given them
to you, but the Republicans have, and
if you vote to elect them again in No
vember they will give you not only the
necessities of life, but some of the
luxuries, that which you all desire,
something to wash it down with. Some

rough canvass of the Territory.
Charles H. Rose, the party candidate
for County Auditor, was well received
He spoke of the duties of the office and
the efforts he would make to fulfill them
properly, and to the satisfaction of all
Charles L. Rhodes spoke of the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party in their
| application to local conditions. He
said that Mechanism had been unani-
mously and enthusiastically nominated
| in a convention in which there were
more Hawaiian delegates than there
were delegates of other nationality, and
he hoped he would be enthusiastically
supported and triumphantly elected.
Treasurer Trent and Supervisor Moore
who had served the public so accept
ably that even the Republicans could
not find any fault with them, were
samples of the entire ticket the Demo-
Gratis offered.
Other speakers were d. L. Kahalea-
ahu, candidate for representative from
the Fifth district, Joe Fern and H. T.
