KAAEO LAST NIGHT

KAAEO LAST NIGHT.
The feature of last nights Republican
meetings was the candidates repudia-
tion Of Civic Federation endorsements
Those who had received the endorse
mcnt, including w. o. Smith rejected
it, while those who had not, also cri-
ticized the action of the Feds one
meeting was held i'm lwilei, and the
other i'm Kakaako The crowds were
large i'm both places.
A platform and bench had been placed
on a large vacant lot i'm Iwilei, and
many Hawaians gathered. A lot Of
small native children and women oc-
cupicd many of the seats. The meet
ing was an orderly one, and didn't seem
to interest the Japanese inhabitants Of
the district. none of the women attend
ing or paying attention to the speech
flying.
\. NJ Brown spoke first being loudly
cheered when introduced by chairman
J. *. Kanepuu. Brown said the Re
publican party was having hard
fight, but he hoped all his supporters
would stand by it, He said the Civics
were making such a bitter fight against
him that they were willing to pull down
half a dozen other candidates. Brown
defended his police station policy of
ordering a release i'm many cases
where arrests for drunkenness take
place, after the arrested party has
sobered up, saying in part:
"Iaukea, the man they have put up
to defeat me, is saying that Brown is
wrong because, when some poor native,
who has taken a little too much and
who has been taken to the station to
be cared for, is arrested on a Saturday
night, and Brown goes down on Sun
day morning and lets him out rather
than have him brought into court and
fined three or four dollars.
"Iaukea is saying that this is wrong
and that he will enforce the law
against you, and mind you, he means
what he says. and all who are arrested
for drunkenness will be taken and put
on trial.
Even if Iaukea is appealing for the
Hawaiian votes because he is a part
y
backing is coming from the Civic Fed
Grafton. 1t is the Civic Federation
which is backing him more than the
Democrats.
q want to tell you that the Civic
Federation. through Iaukea, is trying
to get hold of the machine. You had
better let Brown run that machine
than the Civic Feds or Iaukea. You
know what Brown will do and you
don't know what Iaukea will do"
julius Kaae spoke briefly in Ha-
waiian and then Senator Lane called
for support of their ticket, criticizing
McClanahan's candidacy and the Civic
Federation. A. V. Gear handed the
Civics some more. arguing that the
Civics i'm taking up their ticket had
turned down Hawaiians for haoles. He
hoped the audience would all vote the
ticket straight.
The Rev. Doremus Scudder received
the attention of Henry Vida who said
that Scudder represented clique Of
tools of Thurston. He said the Ad-
vertiser had got after Brown because
he refused to be dictated to. Vida
argued also that Brown was right in
releasing DRINKS rather than bringing
them all up for trial.
D. Kalauokalani, ,Jr. spoke in Ha-
waiian. James Bicknell said he was
surprised at being endorsed by the
Civics and had not sought any en-
dorsement. w. w. Harris said he
didn't want his Civic Fed endorsement
and would rather be defeated than be
elected by the few votes the Feds con-
troll. w. O. Smith added his criti-
cisms of the Feds saying in part.
"A certain party styling themselves
the Civic Federation has issued
list of the candidates they will sup
port and whom they ask the people
to support What is this Civic Fed
Grafton? I do not know any such a
party. 1t has not been elected The
members of it have a right to their
own opinion, but by what authority
do they put themselves up in judgment
for others?
They have put my name on their
list for endorsement. l do not thank
them for that endorsement. I do not
know them. l have been told by two
representative men belonging to the
organization that there had been no
meeting of the members and that there
