tention to the fact that Iaukea would
close the town tighter than a drum
and would give the people a dry Sun
day. He arraigned himself and plead
ed guilty to the charge of Indifference,
incompetence or corruption and it is up
to the people to sentence him to private
life and then say whether they will
have law and order in preference to
the reign we have had for the past
eighteen months -
DESHA'S MISSION.
Ask Jack Lucas which side will win
out and he will tell you in a rusa
that Brown has Iaukea beaten AMI
that Trent will be buried in heavy
snow on election day, but if you will
ask the necessity for Desha leaving
Hilo district at this time when he has
a campaign of his own he viii say
frankly that he can not guess. The
fact is word has been sent to Desha,
the silver-tongued orator of the big
island, that he is needed here to help,
not alone Kuhio but the local ticket.
1t Is not stated whether he will be
asked to support the policy of the
machine nor is it known how he will
harmonic his doctrines and beliefs
with the party of "booze, beer ana
buncombe. - The McCIanahan cam
paign on Hawaii has been strenuous
and he is said to have won over a
great many of the Hawaiians. There
Is doubt of the result on this t.
land and that doubt may have been
communicated to Kuhio who is down
for work here, having cut out Maui,
believing that the success of McCIana
han on Hawaii is but a reflection of
the feeling here. Desha is winner
on the stump and it is possible he will
remember he is of the cloth and turn
his back upon the "ladle and the
booze
A BROWN TALKER.
Among the hardest workers for
Brown is the one-armed man who
takes his place at the corner of King
and Bethel streets every noon. He is
loud of mouth and has the virtues Of
the party for which he works as pat
as pat. When he was on a mission of
mercy for the Republicans, he spouted
as if he believed what he said. Then
he became Home Ruler, for reve-
nue., and told of the good things that
would come to the Hawaiians after
the election. That was during the cam
paign when Iaukea had the Congress
sional chair on his mind. He then told
the Hawaiians that if they elected Tau
kea instead of Cupid he would work
for the disfranchisement of the Ha-
waiians. He talked SO much of this
that they were beginning to believe
him, and the result of that election
was traced partly to this cause. Final
ly he was arrested for criminal libel
The case dragged along for a time and
was finally dropped, when this same
man, Umauma, went into court and
admitted that he was a liar and then
made affidavit to that effect. At that
time he wrote an article which was
published in a native paper here at the
time. In the office of a law firm in
Honolulu there is a document of which
a copy is here given. It reads:
Col. c. p. Iaukea, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: I wish to retract all
charges that 1 have preferred against
y
me on the 4th day of November, 1904,
in the Kuokoa Homa Rula. in this
city, under the following title, "Ino ka
ia a umiamaka he okea loko," and
1 hereby declare that the affidavit in
question and the contents are false.
and I hereby apologize for having
made said affidavit Or used it and ask
you to excuse me and forgive me for
so doing. STEPHEN UMAUMA.
And Stephen is now a Brown man.
COMMENT BY THE WAY.
A gentleman who read this affidavit
in the office of the attorney made
rather harsh comment upon the Sher-
if for his selection of spellbinders:
You will note" he said, that his
Umauma admits perjury in this re-
traction and he says he is sorry for
having lied about Iaukea. And yet he
is now in the employ of the Sheriff
making speeches to the Hawaiians at
noon every day and going about at
night disturbing the Democratic meet
ings. That is the class of men sent
out to tell respectable men how to
vote. Is it any wonder he wants
man for Sheriff who will not enforce
the laW?'
THE Advertiser is putting it in pref
ty strong" said Link McCandless yes
terday, but it hit the nail on the head
when it charged worker of the Re
publican party with treachery to can
didates who will work for the good of
the community. I know for fact that
Willie Crawford, at the behest of some
body was distributing antiRepublican
tickets among the Chinese, and he
would be doing it today had the Ad-
vertiser not exposed him. The Adyer-
tiser gets to the bottom of crooked
campaign work and does not hesitate
to speak right out about it. l am sat
isfied that Crawford is not now using
that ticket; he has been stopped, and
guess he will stay stopped"
