KINNEY ROASTS
THE REPUBLI leans
DEMOCRATS HOLD TWO SMALL
BUT ENTHUSIASTIC RALLIES At
PALAMA AND MOIIILI.

last night. one was at Palama and
the other at Moiliil The attendance
was not large at either meeting, but
there was considerable enthusiasm
Kamaha was chairman at Palama,
and w. A. Kinney and Col. Mccarthy
were among the principal speakers.
Kinney spoke both i'm Hawaiian and
English.
THE endorsement of the Democratic
candidates by the Civic Federation had
not pulled them up" he said They
are willing to take votes from angels
or devils and they want them for the
straight ticket" Kinney said the Re
publcans would have been glad enough
to get the endorsements of the candi-
dates if other tickets had not been
equally favored. He spoke of the in
tentiou of the Democrats to have the
election law amended so that cross at
the head of a ticket would mean
vote for all the candidates in that party
in that way there would be fewer spoilt
tickets and less Birbeism. Kinney
spoke of the action of Birbe at the last
election and the failure of the Republi-
can administration to punish him. He
said that the statement made by some
of the Republicans to the effect that
Iaukea was the candidate of the Ad-
vertser, and that he would be led by
the owners of that paper is false. He
was supported by the Advertiser be-
cause the Republican candidate is I'M
fit for the office; the paper could not
stand Browns record "Iaukea" said
Kinney will conduct the office as he
honestly believes it should be conduct
ed. The Republican speakers are con-
fusing the voters so that hundreds of
tickets will be spoilt and in that way
Brown hopes to be elected. Care must
be taken by the voters and they should
not be misled."
Col. c. j. Mccarthy spoke of an
amended election law and described
the Australian method, adding that the
Democrats might not be benefited by
it, but the deal would be a square one.
The ballot is the voice 'of the people,"
he said, but it has been drowned by
the spoilt ballots that have been dis
carded." Col. Mccarthy closed by re-
citing the career of Col. Iaukea from
the time he enterted the service of the
monarchy, as Secretary of the Foreign.
Office, to his position as Commissioner
of Crown Lands. "And he served well
and honestly in every capacity, for not
dollar that ever came into his hands
was misappropriated."
Mccarthy referred to Iaukea's i'm
portant mission as Ambassador to the
Russian Court and his subsequent visit
as the representative of King Kala-
| kaua, to all the courts of Europe.
Iaukea spoke of the police machine,
drunkenness and brothels and said that
if elected he would enforce the law. He
said he would put down the brothels
and would not use the police depart
ment to do politics He was followed
by Charles Rose and Frank Harvey.
At Moiliili there We're many speakers.
Charles Kauwe presided and introduced
| w. w. Thayer as the first speaker.
| Thayer said crime was prevalent and
the police We're giving their time to
politics The Republicans had not given
good county government. Thayer re-
| terred to Gears promise of giving jobs
| to thirty-tive more people on the police
force. There were plenty of police
men now ON the force to keep the
| town clean, but the trouble is that the
men are set to do politics instead. He
said it was logical to believe that this
was scheme to make the police ma
chine even stronger than before. to be-
neftt the interests of Brown and asso-
Ciates.
Charles Broad referred to his leaving
tht Republicans and said that they
had not been straightforward in their
dealings in the conventions The party
was rotten and he could not stay in it.
lie was for clean politics.
Frank Harvey charged that the Re-
publican board of supervisors was res
ponsible for the band being stranded on
the mainland He spoke i'm favor of
weekly payments of government la
borers and gave a denial of statements
that had been made that if elected he
would be controlled by Kinney.
John Emmeluth discussed taxation
ana ridiculed the idea that Congress
would ever pass a law to disfranchise
HaWaiians. Jarrett said that if he and
Iaukea were elected sheriff and DEPUTY
they would put a stop to the way in
which things are being run. Trent
said he was glad to have been able
throughout his administration as Coun-
ty Treasurer to pay the laborers off in
cash without any discount on their
warrants, This had made the Repub-
leans sore and they were trying to
claim credit for this benefit. Even
Bicknell, the Republican Auditor and
candidate for reelection, had said on
the stump that he had to pay 100 cents
on dollar, as Bicknell drew the war
rants for 100 cents on a dollar. Trent
laughed at this argument of BicknelTs
The cash arrangement was perfected
through Trent, not the auditor. The
Territory Treasurer, a Republican, had
tried to get the Territory on a cash
basis and pay out 100 cents on a dollar
but had failed.
Mrs. Puahi spoke last, saying that
