for support by putting up a candidate
who stands unflinchmgly for law and
order which your own convention fail
ed and refused to give you. The lnde-
pendent voter baked i'm his wishes and
convictions by the road board-police
convention called Republican con-
vention has found the expression of |
his convictions and his wishes in the |
nominations made by the Democratic |
party and when the Republican cam |
didate sets the lawless cement upon |
Iaukea and the whole Democratic tick |
ct because he has unfliuchingly stood |
for law an order, Iaukea i'm return has
a right to invoke the support of every
rightminded man for his party, wheth-
er he is found within the Republican
or the Democratic party. We offer no
apologies for urging every Republican
voter, as well as every Democratic
voter, to establish next Tuesday en-
phatically and conclusively that no
man can appeal to lawlessness among
the voters without FORGETTING the vote
of the law abiding. Iaukea has stood
to his guns for law and order even in
ing circumstances, where he knew he
was losing votes by the stand he was
taking, and he has no apologies to
make in asking your support for the
Democratic ticket"
e. A. Douthitt discussed the liquor
law and police administration. He
traced the history of the liquor law in
the legislature, saying that while a Re-
publican legislature was responsible
for it, it had been submitted by the
Anti-Saloon League and was only pass
ed after a better law had been vetoed
by the governor and when the end of
the session was approaching and some
action was necessary. Referring to al
legged infractions of the law Douthitt
said it was practically impossible to
prevent them, among the Oriental resi-
dents. He closed with an earnest de-
Tense of the police administration.
w. A. Kinney delivered a rousing
address. He spoke of the Cuban ques-
ton first, also of machine rule, and
, then took up the land laws. He said
that Hawaii must move, her popula-
, ton was becoming Orientalized and
time is precious. The laws must be
made to encourage settlers, not as now
by giving them a title which no bank
will accept as security for a loan. The
=, Democrats will revise the land laws
to bring success from failure, even if
the revision did not please the owners
= of the landed estates. The Republicans
= must stand aside as failures in this
respect.
The United States was now taking
up the arid land question. The prairie
land was settled, without difficulty and
: now there were government irrigation
canals dealing out water for settlers.
. Il have yet to hear of any water
being given away here, of any steam
ship company being called down for
y the mistreatment of tho people. In
Hilo the banana industry IS ruined be-
cause of the treatment received IRON
S the steamships There they are ripping
z out fertile and bearing banana plants
i because they will not pay any more
v Without the government behind then
$ our homesteaders must go to the wall
- We, the people, have right to deman
o success from the Republicans or they
( must step aside"
A. Lewis, Jr., made the final reply
defending the land laws and their ad
70 ministration He said that the policy
: of the government in setting aside for
0 est reserves and protecting the Ha
waiians through the system of 999-yea
J. leases was commendable, the latte
s. protecting the Hawaians against ag
gressive speculations Of designing per
e sons. The government waS wisely hold
II ing back the public domain until Their
was a demand and then only releasing
u what was necessary to fill the demand
II The Torrens Land System, by whicl
o our land titles are insured, is anOthe
IS benefit conferred and fostered by
Republican administration. Privat

1t looking to the development of the coun

- good offices of the government tn
