The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-10-30

Continuing in English, he said:
II wish now to answer the charges
that my friend, Mr.. McClanahan, has
made. These charges are, l believe
that when there were haoles at my
meetings drew no color line but when
there were no haoles present L did. Ii
Mr. McClanahan is present he may take
this from me: 1t is a liei | made no
racial statement. I never intend 10
make one. When 1 started out on the
stump l made one statement, the state
ment I have made at all my meetings,
the statement l have made here to-
night.
.tKaleo, the speaker who accompanied
Mr. McClanahan, said in his speeches
that 1 had introduced a bill into Con-
gress to dfsfranchise the Hawaiians.
He made this speech day in and day
out and McClanahan sat beside him as
he made it Why was not McCiananan
man enough to get up and deny this?
Il said that the head of the Civic
Federation, in q speech at the Mohonk
conference and in a letter which ap-
peared in the Washington Star and the
New York Sun-Oh, damn it'll won't
defend myself any further. the charge
is not worthy of attention, although
he does say he has affidavits. If there
were more Hawaiians like me who
would preach this to the Hawaiians.
not to draw any color line, we would
all get along like happy family.
Il have no answer to make to Nc
Clanahan's issue about Cuba. We all
know what would happen to the Ter
ritory if Cuban annexation were con-
summated. But McClanahan-McCl
ahan has put up a bugaboo and says:
Here am L, a Democratic Delegate, and
my election means that we, in Hawaii,
don't want Cuban annexation
IF McClanahan were a mugwump or
a Home Ruler he might have good
claim to his policy. Do I have to tell
McClanahan what the policy of the
Democratic party is? He ought to know
it better than me. What is free trade
and what is protection? Doesn't that
answer Mr.. McClanahan? 1 don't
think any further answer is necessary.
Il never knew before that the policy
of the Republicans was the annexation
of Cuba. I wish 1 could say more"
All this point in his address the Del
egate was greatly troubled, apparently,
by his throat. and on one or two occa-
sions he appeared to be on the point
of stopping altogether.
Before I close l wish to answer the
charges that are being made in the
Advertiser about the machine he con-
tinued. Il wish the Advertiser could
go over Kona, Kau and Puma, where
) they would find o. Shipman, Frank
Wood and Kalaiwaa. Now they would
find q machine there with a. vengeance.
You can't get a job there unless you
go first and sign the Democratic roll.
I had Democratic policemen, with a
uniform on following me around and
asking questions. The idea of a pO-
fceman in uniform asking me. me. the
Delegate to Congress, questions! I
never had any police here ask me any
questions. There is no Sheriff here in
/ terrupting meetings like the one there -
! And with this answer to the Adver-
tiser. the Delegate sought his seat. the
orchestra playing the air composed in
his honor. The rather broken finish of
+ the De'egate's speech left the people
in doubt as to whether he was through
or not and the applause was on that
account scattering and rather faint
ORATOR DESHA CHARMS.
! Rev. stephen Desha charmed the au-
dience in a lengthy speech, in the
course of which he recited a number
of meles and told some pointed stories.
At times the crowd was perfectly quiet
fearing to lose one syllable Of the words
or miss one OF his expressive gestures.
Politically the speaker said little.
At the conclusion of this address the
majority of those present departed for
| their homes, and it was to a big pro
