FOUR RALLIES HELD IN TOWN

als aOsBU
They were so elated at their success
in the clubs that they put the men on
their ticket whom they could controI
if they were elected. The result Oh
that was this: They alienated from
their body a very large number OF men
who will give US the best government.
They have driven those people to the
ranks of the Democratic party. Inc
Republican party is now trying 10
apologize for having put up men who
are to be controlled by the machine
The better element on this island is en-
dorsing the Democratic candidates be-
cause they cannot be controlled by a
machine. The men who constitute the
class 1 have mentioned is the haole
element. They have always controlled
in this district and they have Deen
followed by another element, the Por-
tuguese, who are deserving of recognl-
ton and who have come over TO the
Democratic party because their candl-
date was turned down, and another
man, who is not independent, was
nominated in his place. But those two
elements cannot elect a single officer
and we have got to have the Hawaii
ans, the kamaainas. before we can
elect a single one on the ticket. Par
ty lines are new here. The Republic
cans have been telling the Hawaiians
that theirs is the only party that can
give them anything, but the Hawaii
ans are finding out that this is not
so, and they realize that they can go
into the polling booth, vote for whom
nd ha rnrfS n
the Government will not lose their
jobs. Therefore it is, gentlemen, that
we ask you to join the party compos-
ed of independent men and put the
Democratic party in office and let
them show you what good govern
ment is.
TRENT AND PURITY.
Mr.. Thayer was generously applauded
and was followed by Mr.. Trent, who said
it was real pleasure to address an
audience like this. Il am very GLAD
that so far in this campaign said he.
there has never been any disturbance
at Democratic meeting. We had a
big meeting at Kakaako the other
night and there were as many people
there at the end as at the beginning.
and we hadn't any beer or booze. But
we do not want anybody to be thirsty.
and if anyone feels the need Of a drink
we will attach a hose and give him
all the water he wants. The Demo-
Gratis have not disturbed anybody, they
have never thrown rocks at a chair.
man, and if you ever go 90 meeting
where a rough house is started, do
what you can to quiet the crowd. Wa
have never thrown any rocks at a
chairman, we have never thrown egga
at anyone, and if we did they would
be fresh The Republicans have made
promises; they tell you that if You
want good government elect them, but
1 want to ask you, gentlemen, if you
want papayaS do you go to a cactuSe
If you want figs do you get them from
an aIgaroba tree?" He referred to the
liquor law, the fact that young boys
and girls frequent those places and
throw away their lives, and scored the
Republicans for holding a meeting az
Joe Clarke's and the ridiculous features
in the speeches of the Republicans, who
tell you that as they had made the
law that gives these people the right
to conduct such resorts they will re-
peal it if you will return them to the
Legislature. Suppose you are taken
i'll, you get a physician and he giveS
you medicine. Afterward you breaA
out all over in boils. II tnat doctor
should tell you that he gave you the
medicine that causes the boils and il
you give him five dollars more he will
tell how To cure them, do you mink you
would pay him? The Republican party
is in the hands of the machine and tho
head of that is Sheriff Brown. Col.
Iaukea is a clean man and a good man
He makes no promises beyond that
which involves the performance of hiS
duty, if elected Sheriff.
AND OTHERS"
Moses PaIau made a very few re,
marks in Hawaiian. He was followed
by Jno Emmeluth, who said he hao
been asked to explain the different
planks in the Democratic platform. He
advised the voters to take the plat
forms of the three parties and COM
pare them. There could be no doubt
of the result. He then dropped into the
question of leprosy and said the Demo-
Gratis in convention decided to take Up
this matter and see what could be-
done. He read an essay on the subject
and prescribed the duty OF the Govern
ment calling upon the voters to vote
the straight ticket in order that the
evil might be lessened.
w. P. Jarrett was well received ana
spoke in Hawaiian. He called for the
support of the whole Democratic ticket
and then bid aloha.
Charlie Broad said he had been a Re-
publican from the time or annexation
to a few years ago. He referred to
his membership in the party and his
term as Representative of that party
in the Legislature. He says he is in
politics in order to help the laborin9
classes, not for money. and added that
he is a free and unbridled citizen. He

reasons and denied the existence of
