REPUBLICANS ON VINEYARD
STREET.

The immaculate Vida was much in
on Vineyard street last evening. He
had several things to say, mostly of
a personal nature, including some
highly f1attering testimonies to himself
and an unexpected bouquet for laukea:
II told you a few days ago." he said
lust what the Civic Federation was
going to do-that they We're going to
endorse Iaukea for Sheriff. L HAVE
NOTHING AGAINST IAUKEA. HE
IS ALL RIGHT AS FAR AS 1 KNOW
PERSONALLY, but do you want a
man as Sheriff who is going to be die
tated to by ThurSton and the CIVIC Fed
Grafton or one who has stood by the
party and its principles for the past
ten years?
'Doremus Scudder and his associates
of the Anti-Saloon League have had
a great deal to say about the Sher1H
and myself discharging people brought
to the station, drunk. They also rails
ed their voices against the saloons of
this city but what do they do today?
Why. Scudder endorsed Frank Harvey
and Charles Mccarthy for supervisors.
C.That's right said a policeman
Now. fellow citizens, that shows you
what the Civic Federation and L. A.
Thurston are. Their main intention is
to try to diSfranchise the HawalianS-
That is what L. A. Thurston wants to
do today They are trying to get you
to elect men who are not fit to hold
office or to fulfil the duties of their
Offices and thereby hope to show Con-
gress that we are not fit to control
our local affairs.
'Doremus Scudder and his associates
put J. S. Kaleo on the blacklist. Why?
Because he is Hawaiian and poor
man. l have known Kaleo for twenty
years and know that he has a good
character and that he is just as able
a man and far better than the man
they put up against him.
Il believe you all have too much
common sense to allow yourselves to
be put back under a sort of govern
ment you once had run by L. A. Thurs
ton and his associates.
I'VE have had control of the reinS
of government for the past year and
a half and We should keep on having
control hereafter. 1t is for us to run
this government and to put people in
office who will stay by US.
Il have been the subject of attacks
for the last two or three months. but
[ defy any of them, l.. A. Thurston
and the Advertiser, to bring anything
against my character. I defy any Of
them to substantiate any charges that
have been brought against me.
These very people here two years
ago asked me to run on the Civic Fed
Grafton ticket with Rawlins, who was
to run as Sheriff. But we were too
loyal to disrupt our party. We stayed
w.
! AT that time I was supposed to be
honest and trustworthy enough to be
appointed Deputy Sheriff to High
Sheriff Henry, by Governor Carter. I
was considered honest and trust
worthy enough by Lorrin Andrews to
be sent to London for the extradition
of Henry KaDea. All of a sudden
these very people who had faith in me
turned on me because of what? Be
cause I would not down my party. If
7 am elected to office. l cannot make
YOU any promises. but 1 am going to
tell you that I will stand by the PEG
pIe and do what 1 can for them. and
l am going to fight the Civic Fedora
ton and L. A. Thurston to the bitter
end.
. IT have been in the office Of the
Sheriff as Assistant Sheriff and during
such time I believe 1 have been true
to my people. and have been true to
my promises. and if elected Will do
the same again"
