REPUBLICANS
TALK IN PAUOA
BROWN STANDS on HIS RECORD
HUSTACE AND HARRIS WIN
MUCH APPLAUSE,

The Republicans held a big meeting i
last night at Pauoa There was a Ions !
list Of speakers, and two quintet clubs |
furnished music. Charles w. Booth !
acted as chairman and busted himself |
with arrangements for the crowd, which !
was a large one.
w. Q. Smith was introduced as the !
first speaker. He urged support OF |
Kuhio for Congress and said that while !
he did not always tank it necessary to |
vote the straight ticket, he thought !
The present Republican ticket should |
be VOID. Smith was received with !
applause. c. F. Chillingworth and L. !
L. McCandless, the other two senatorial
candidates, followed and both Were
cheered in encouraging style.
Sheriff Brown was the first of the
county candidates to speak. He stood
boldly on his record He declared that
he would promise nothing more than
to administer his Office in the future, if
elected, as he had in the past. If voters
were not satisfied with that, they could
vote for Iaukea. Brown was cheered
as he retired
In one case" he remarked "the peo-
pie were voting for one they knew,
but in the other for an unknown guam
tity." Brown pledged his support for
the whole ticket and said he was not
working for himself more than for the
others, but that his fight was the hard
est. Brown spoke of the fairness of
the Republican party in nominating
Kuhio, a son of the SOIL while the De-
mocrats had named an almost utter
stranger.
Charles Hustace, Jr, made hit
with a speech in Hawaiian. He pre-
dicted success for Republicans on TIE
mainland, declaring that il would be
many years before they got in power.
Hustace evidently won the crowd and
was vigorously applauded
Harris speech dealt in part with Nc
Clanahan. He said it would be better,
as far as the Cuban proposition was
concerned, to send Republican to Con-
gress, who would stand by the principle
of a protective tariff. The Democrats
were making extravagant promises,
said Harris, as to what they would do
4
applauded when he finished with a plea
for votes for the party that does things
rather than the party that promises.
/ The speakers to follow, all urging
support of the whole ticket, were
Samuel Dwight, John W. Cath
cart, Charles Hustace, Jr, A. D. Cas-
tro E. A. Long, e. w. Quinn, W. 7.
Rawlins, Kaleo and Henry Vida. The
later referred to his being entrusted
/ with a mission to London, by Governor
| Carter and Attorney General Andrews
and said he had been fought since by
+ Thurston and clique because he would
/ not take Civic nomination last time
Vida said his commission as Deputy
High Sheriff and as a commissioner to
London had been signed by Governor
Carter and on his return to Hawaii
he had been asked to be a candidate for
Deputy High Sheriff He declined and
on account of that he had been at
tackled and written up in the news
papers. He had been charged with
dishonesty, but he must have been
capable or he would not have been APP
pointed to a position by Sheriff Henry
or by the Attorney General when he
went to London. There is a clique in
town. represented by the Advertiser,
that has no use for me and no use for
Brown, said Vida. Their policy and
the policy of L. A. Thurston is to rule
or ruin and when they can't rule they
will ruin. L. A. Thurston was once
a power, but he lost control. In the
Advertiser this morning were printed
the names or II or IS unfortunate peo-
pie who had been brought to the sta
tion for being drunk. 1t was claimed
that it was a new thing and it had
been done for votes, but it has been
done ever since we have been in office.
Why take the unfortunates to the judge
and have them fined five or six dol
lars? What about their wives and chill
dren, who have nothing in the house to
eat after their unfortunate husbands
and fathers have been sent to Jail be-
cause they had no money to pay their
fines? If you think we have done
wrong, don't vote for either of us. Vote
the whole ticket.
