HOT TALK BY
REPUBLICANS
AND GEAR DE.
LIVER WARM ROAsTS OF DEMO-
Gratis AND CAMPBELL.

held in Honolulu last night. The feat
ures of the speeches were roast of
Treasurer Campbell for his action in
singing out candidates to sue them for
their delinquent taxes and an address
in which Charles f. Chillingworth
charged that the Democrats were not
supporting the haoles on their ticket
except where the haoles were opposed
by haoles on the Republican ticket.
We are supporting the Republican
ticket from top to bottom" said Chill
| lingworth at the Palama meeting. The
Democrats are not doing that for their
| ticket Have you ever heard Iaukea
make a speech in the Hawaiian Ian
guage supporting Mechanism for dele
gate? He has not done so. McClana-
han was put on the ticket to pull white
votes for Iaukea."
| Chillingworth declared that the DEM
ocratic campaigners were working hard
for Thayer and Trent and not for any
other white men on their ticket. This,
he said, is because the Republican OPP
ponents of Thayer and Trent are
whites. In other cases, like that of
the delegate to Congress, no fight was
being made, said the speaker, and he
predicted that Democratic votes would
go for Kuhio.
A. V. Gear roasted Campbell for al
lowing the publication of lists of can
didates who are delinquent in their
taxes. He said in part;
"I want to tell you as a taxpayer
that few dollars of my taxes are not
paid. A representative of the treasur-
err came to me yesterday and told me
that if my taxes were not paid up at
once that my name would be published
from one end of the Territory to the
other I said, why don't you use the
names of all that owe taxes, the rich
and the poor alike"
IT refused yesterday to pay what l
owed, because 1 wanted to see what
they are going to do about it. l want
ed to know how they would act, for II
7 am elected 1 will know just how to
act. I believe in treating people fairly
and all alike whether they have the
money to pay or not and whether they
are candidates or not.
after 1 am elected you can come
and shake my hand as you do today
and 1 will see that you are all treated
alike. I propose to see that every la
borer gets enough to take care of his
family I will see that he gets Sl'oo
day"
Kaleiopu made a speech In which ne
! said that great benefit to all had re-
suited from the County Act. which had
been passed by the Republicans. Char
lies Hustace. Jr., j. w. Cathcart, w. o.
Smith, D. Kalauokalani Jr., S. Mahe-
Iona and F. T. P. Waterhouse all made
speeches at this meeting
At Emma Square some of the same
speakers held forth, and George A.
Davis delivered an address in which ne
"handed it out" to Trent and issued a
} challenge to any and all Democrats to
! meet him in public debate. Clarence
Crabbe acted as chairman and intro
duced ]. w. Cathcart as the first speak
err Cathcart declared that the Demo-
Gratis were simply a party of denuhcla-
ton, hoping to break in to one or two
offices. and that the secret ballot in the
Republican convention was proof that
it was not managed by machine. he
discussed several of the Democratic
candidates and complimented the Local
notice, He said. There is less crime
here and less crime unpublished than in
any other city. This efficiency is due
. almost solely and entirely to the mar
at the head of the police department
Sheriff A. NJ. Brown. And he is the
man whom the Democrats and a few
5 disgruntled Republicans would replace
by Curtis Iaukea."
George A. Davis spoke for w. w
Harris, who was absent on account o.
indisposition. He roasted the Demo
t cratic ticket in stentorian tones anc
t e1oouent language and declared tina
Trent and Moore had done little bu
r draw their salaries He characterize
r the civic Federation and the Anti
r Saloon League as bodies of disgruntleC
r citizens and said that the Republican
!. party would suitably amend the liquo
}, laws if given a chance.
" w. O. Smith said in part II believ'
> it is right that every citizen should b
independent and vote as he thinks il
best, but there must be the regularly
: organized parties and when these par
ties have nominated their tickets it il
the duty of every good man to stand b!
8 and support the ticket of his party
Unless the whole ticket goes wronI
there is no reason why any part of /
:. should not receive support. 1t SHOULD
- not be scratched for any personal rea
son. 1t is not fair to the candidate
who are bearing the burden of tn
party fight to be sacrificed for any per
sonal dislike some of the members o
the party may have against them. I'm
der the present circumstances it /
the duty of every right-thinking citi
zen to stand fairly by the Who'll
ticket"
w. T. Rawlins and A. NJ. Brown fol

much of his address of the Palam
