TWO FAVORITE "ROASTS"
DEMOCRATS
ROAST FREE BOOZE
STRONG DENUNCIATION OF RE
PUBLGCANS FOR ALLEGED FREE
SUPPLIES OF LIQUOR.


Free beer was the principal subject !
discussed by the many Democratic |
speakers who were heard at various |
meetings last night one after an
other they roasted the Republicans for |
supplying booze at political meetings. !
Meetings were held at Emma square |
and Moanalua and both were well at
tended.
At Emma square Albert Kauwe pre-
sided and introduced Edward Ingham |
who said that Republicans We're promis-
ing more than they could perform and |
dwelt upon the fine records made by |
Democrats Palmer Woods i'm the Senate |
and Trent and Moore i'm county affairs |
Thomas Gandall repeated his pledge to |
have government laborers receive not !
less than $1.5O per day.
H. T. Moore spoke of his supervisorial
work. He said he had introduced at
least half Of the measures passed by
the supervisors for the benefit of la
borers. The Democrats would stand
for $50 for an eight-hour day Moore
asked for straight Democratic votes,
without regard to race.
Ioea Kiakahi made a lengthy Ha-
waiian speech, and then Ben Lyon,
! fusion candidate for treasurer of Maui
roasted the Republicans treatment of
his country. He referred at the close
to the local contest for sheriff, saying
! that Iaukea was a man of unblemished
record, while Browns failure to admin
! lister the affairs of his office was COM
mon talk
| Fred Turrill began with an an
nouncement that There is no beer
here" a remark which caught the
crowd. Turrill said that only two De-
mocrats had been elected last time and
both had done we'll one was Trent,
and he had put his foot down at once
on the blanket warrant. He had been
| told by policeman that the first time
he ever drew his full pay was when
Trent got in Office. And the worst
| thing they had to say against Moore
was that he couldn't fire Sam John
/ son. He knew this man Johnson. John
son has a good machine and he keeps
1t working. He had fired six Portu
guese lately because they had no vote,
but these Portuguese had sons growing
up who would be voters, because they
had received an education denied their
fatheds.
Il go out to Moiliili and I find one
armed kanaka speaking for Brown"
said Turrill He tells the Hawaians
on the side that Brown won't arrest
them unless they commit a serious
crime. What does Brown want? Does
a man have to murder here before the
police will touch him? Iaukea is a man
honest and square. He will carry out
the law-and he will have men like Silva
and others to change the laws and
make them right. The people on the
hill have had sand thrown i'm their eyes
long enough and they are going to do
different. The lease ON Punchbowl
runs out in a few years but have the
, Republicans said anything about how
the Portuguese are going to get their
land and homes there? Are these lots
to be sold like those at Makiki, with
an upset price covering all the improve
, ments? Get next to yourselves and
send men to the Legislature that will
give the people a chance"
Charles Rose charged the machine
with sending out guards to see that
road employees attended Republicans
meetings only and to see that they
cheered
f f. NJ. Watson referred to the Re
publican convention as packed and
said the machine was moving working
, men from precinct to precinct, accord
ing to where votes were wanted. There
is no numbered ballot now, he said, and
, Democrats are free to vote their tickets
straight.
NJ. A. Silva talked of free beer, and
said he was surprised to see so many
Americans allowing themselves to be
led by a Russian. He said further:
q Il want here tonight to answer some
q of the insults made about the POrtu-
, guese on Punchbowl They say thai
, some Portuguese disturbed a meeting
= here there. Who was to blame for that
, if it was not the party which gave free
= beer and whiskey to every man anG
child at the meeting? Was it done or
p purpose? Why did they throw open g
: saloon not fifty feet away and give
o every one a general invitation to have
all they wanted because it had beer
paid for? This was a double insult
I to the Portuguese. The first insult was
! in trying to buy their votes with brooze
and every Portuguese voter ought to
