Il OPENS.
e gathering as chairman and introduced
ee had arranged seats for the ladies and
'acheco first introduced J. F. Durao, a
'ortuguese. The Concord.a band made
ao was obliged to wait until it played
is address. There were occasional inter
crowd and when an allusion was made
that the "Home Rulers are all right. -
w. o. Smith, who said in part:
panion who had been with them in
baseball and football for the past ten
years. He spoke of the differences be
tween Castro and the other Portu-
guese; he would not say that he is an
angel and Silva a devil. Silva had
been fairly nominated and he would be
a credit to the Portuguese residents if
they sent him to the Legislature.
BROWN THE MALIGNED.'
Sheriff Brown was then introduced
by the chairman as the most maligned
man in Honolulu, ''maligned by the Ad-
vertiser through malice said Pacheco,
and Brown smiled.
The Sheriff gave an easy talk and
said what he could to smooth the diff
ficulties between Silva and Castro. He
regretted the occurrence and said he
would stand by Castro because he is a
candidate of the Republican party, and
this fight is being made on political
lines He referred to the candidates
individually and called for the support
of the whole ticket. He was received
with applause, and as he left the plat
form the crowd gave him good recog-
milton.

spoke in Portuguese for the whole
ticket.
AGAIN THE ADVERTISER.
Henry c. Vida was received with
very little applause. He said he would
fill the office to the best of his ability.
He and the Sheriff had given them
square deal and he hoped they would
get the votes of the Portuguese. He
was satisfied they are good people and
they should be proud of the fact that
in but one or two instances had there
been criminal charges entered against
one of that nationality. He made due
reference to the Advertiser in the fact
that it had accused him of champion
ing the cause of a. NJ. Brown. He
was proud to say he would stand by a
man who had some principle. ''Iaukea
is backed by the Civic Federation and
L. A. Thurston, and he did not think
the Portuguese would support the hu-
man frog, Iaukea, who is jumping from
one political puddle to the other.
1t was said by a Hawaiian present
that the native interpreter passed out
an entirely different assortment of SEN
timents from those expressed by Vida.
CANDIDATE QUINN.
E. w. Quinn, "a man of few words
but much business" asked the crowd
for support because he is. and always
has been, a Republican. He asked sup
port for the ticket from top to bot
tom. Quinn was applauded as he clos
ed and three hearty cheers were given
him.
WATERHOUSE TO THE POINT.
There was no preamble to the Water
T. -;rrI,% =,
subject, and called for support to the |
ticket. He referred to the Punchbowl |
leases and said the Republican party |
would endeavor to have that land go |
TO the homesteaders when their leases
expire five or six years hence. He said !
that party had been instrumental in
the laws so that the lands I
here would be controlled locally. That |
party has done much to give good |
roads here and he hoped to see a good |
road to the top of Punchbowl.
WILLIE RAWLINS AND FRIENDS.
w. T. Rawlins asked support of the
people as Representative with five 9TH
ers. He asked for straight votes be-
cause he believed, and he hoped they
would believe, that the Republican par
ty is the best for the people here. He
told of bad boys who had been placed
in charge of Father stephen rather
than sent to the Reform School. That
was through the influence of Judge
Whitney and himself. Rawlins' talk
was a brotherly one and had a good
effect on the crowd. He wanted the
men to consider the candidates and to
vote for them according to their worth.
