REPUBLICANS HOLD GOOD
RALLY ON VINEYARD ST.
CANDIDATES EXPRESS THEIR
VIEWS ON THURsToN, THE
ADVERTISER AND THE
CIVIC FEDS

At the Republican meeting on Vine
yard street last night the Civic Fed
Grafton and Its methods were handled
by some of the speakers without
gloves. A number Of the candidates
who have been endorsed by that organ
ization utterly repudiate the action TAX
Ell and stated that the endorsement Of
the Civic Feds was entirely without
authorization from them and without
their knowledge or consent. They did
not desire any such endorsement and
wished to have nothing to do with an
organization the main object Of which
is to defeat the Republican party.
In spite Of the rain which fell at In
tervals, there was a good crowd pres
ent at the meeting, and much interest
was shown by the audience. There
were no disorders Of any kind and the
candidates were listened to with the
closest attention.
Vida called the attention of the vot-
ers to his prediction OF what the Civic
Feds were going to do. II told you,"
| he said, that they were going TO en-
dorse laukea for Sheriff. Do you want
| man for Sheriff who Is going to be
dictated to by Thurston and the Civic
Federation. or do you want man who
for the past ten years has stood by his
party and its prlnciples?"
| Vida referred to the charges made
against himself and Sheriff Brown by
D0remus Scudder and the other men,
Lers Of the Anti-Saloon League, that
they are In the habit OF discharging
without trial people brought to the po-
lice station drunk, and their expressed
opposition to the saloons Of the city
But" said Vida. "Scudder endorsed
Frank Harvey and Charlie Mccarthy.
That shows you what the Cevlc Feds
and l.. A. Thurston are. What Thurs
ton wants to do today Is to disfran-
chise the Hawaiians.
Vida said that Scudder and his asso-
ciates have blackllsted J. s. Kaleo be-
cause he Is far better than the man
they have put up against him. think
you havV too much sense to want to be
put back under the kind OF govern
ment you had before. run by L. a
Thurston and his associates.
II have been for the last two OF
three months the subject OF attacks BY
l.. A. Thurston and the Advertiser, but
defy any of them to prove any charges
that have been made against me. am
going to stand by the people and fight
the Civic Federation and l.. A. Thurs.
ton TO the bitter end. As Assistant
Sheriff to Sheriff Brown. ! think I hav,
been true to my people, and II | an
elected TO Office, am going to do thu
same again"
s. p. Correa stated that his nam,
had been published In the Advertiser
as a candidate on the Civic Federation
ticket without his knowledge or con
sent. That was the first he knew any
thing about II. The truth OF the mat
ter is. he said. that the Civic Fedora
ton has been sleeping. 1t suddenl.
walked up to the knowledge that II ha,
no suitable candidates. and IL tryinI
to pick them from the other partie
without any authorization OH the par
Of the candidates In question.
Corren stated that he wants the PEG
pie to understand that he Is a Repub
lican and does not consent to any sucl
? action on the part Of the Civic Fed.
Lileiwi was OF the opinion that tn
action Ut the Civic Federation In pick
Ing out men from the various ticket
would result In much confusion.
these men should be elected TO the Leg
lslature. some would be pulling on
way for the Republicans, some anothe
way for the Democrats and some still
another for the Civic Feds.
Lilelwi compared the Republican
party to the old lady who sent he
sons out to gather breadfruit. Sh
told them to gather the kind that ha
wax covering the outer skin. The
did so and brought It back. and tn
