the County Clerks private office.

DEMOCRATS
ON PUNCHBOWL
ADDRESS MADE BY CANDIDATES
AND OTHERS IN THE PORTU-
GUESE DISTRICT

The Democrats held a big meeting
at Punchbowl last night. Many of the
candidates had gore on a tour of tho
island and were therefore not pres
ent. There was a good crowd, how
ever, and some enthusiastic speeches
were made.
Fred Turril spoke largely on the
Portuguese land question. 1T is time
the Portuguese took a hand in the af-
fairs of the country" he said. THE
Japs are crowding the Portuguese chill
dren out of schools. There is not
enough room for all.
I'VE find today that the District At
torney of the Federal Court has de-
scended into local politics to fight the
battles of the other fellows.
Vote for the Democratic party, send
your own people into the Legislature,
and stay here in Honolulu. If you
don't you'll begin following other Por-
tuguese up to Marin county. California.
Is this country to become all Ameri-
can or is it to be a Japanese colony"
Uluihi spoke on the wages question,
ridiculing the "a a day proposition and
then John Emmeluth spoke. He charg-
ed that the first legislature was sold
out. 1.-The first Legislature was con-
troled by the Home Rulers" said he,
land the leaders were sold out to the
wealthy element long before 'the Legis-
lature met. The Home Rulers split
and became Independents, Independent
Home Rulers and Independent Repub-
licans, and the present Republican Del
egate and candidate for Congress was
then a Home Ruler.

went in with the Home Rule gang.

IF you want justice done vote thu

E. NJ Watson made a strong speech
in which he roasted the Republicans in
unmistaken terms. THE Democrats
have put up Iaukea for Sheriff. The
best recommendation he has received
comes from his opponent Brown
Brown says: II cannot enforce the
laws, but if you put Iauke,t in ONCE
he will How is that for an endorse

pie to vote for him.

man who is not afraid, He will up

were also speakers.
