REPUBLICANS AT EMMA SQUARE.
The ticket, the whole ticket and
rothng but the ticket was the theme
dealt with by practically every one OF
the speakers on the bandstand at
Emma Square last night, at which
meeting there was good attendance
and plenty of applause and cheering.
| This cheering, however, would have
seemed better If 1t had been little
more general and not confined to a
small bunch OF road workers. decorated
with campaign buttons and cards who
rent the air not always at the appro-
pirate times.
| The three principal speeches of the
meeting were those of j. w. Cathcart,
George A. Davis and Chas. Chilling
worth, each of whom roasted the ones
advocating any scratching of the Re-
publican ticket and threw down the
gage to the Democrats to meet them
| IN debate and discuss the questions
of the campaign Davis called upon
the shades of Lincoln TO rebuke those
voters who were following the party
i of which Deacon Trent was q candi-
date, a man from the secession state
of Tennessee.
Chairman Clarence Crabbe, in intro
ducing Candidate Cathcart, denied that
| the Republican convention had been
machine-managed. The delegates were
the representatives of the people and
free in the choices o. candidates they
had made.
CANDIDATE CATHCART.
Cathcart reminded his hearers that
it was only by supporting the party
straight through, in municipal as well
as national elections. that the party
organization could be preserved. The
Democrats did not expect to elect their
ticket, but hoped only to break in with
one or two of their men. They were
not appealing to the electors on any
principles. They We're using abuse
; without arguments in their campaign
and presenting no facts to the people.
They are shouting to smash the ma
chine and this cry from them is like
!. Satan reproving sin. for their own
party is machine-ridden. 1t Is a poor
cry and stolen thunder at that, a cry
that would not deceive a thinking
child. The fact that there had been a
secret ballot at the convention suffi-
ciently proved the falsity of the cry of
machine.
The Democratic party was simply a
party Of foolish, silly denunciaton. 1t
was party of remnants and left-overs
from the Republicans. Curtis Iaukea
had been the biggest talker at the first
/ Republican convention. The people
knew what he had been, but no one
could know what he was going to be
next. Charley Broad, a Democratic
candidate for the Senate, had been
once elected by the Republicans to the
House, then he joined the Civic Feds
and now was u Democrat NJ. A. Silva
had been the president of a Republican
club only a few weeks ago. and Joe
Fern, now on the Democratic ticket as
a candidate. had sat in the last Repub-
lican convention.
| Thayer is in opposition TO the increase
of the police force, Thayer's idea of a
| man who was hard worker and not
a loafer was a fellow who could play
golf well.
Il assert" said the speaker, that
the efficiency of the police force in the
enforcement of the law and the sup
preston of crime is greater here in
Honolulu than in any other city of the
United States, I may say, the world,
and figures and statistics will bear me
out in the statement. There is less
crime here and less crime unpublished
than in any other city. This efficiency
is due almost solely and entirely to
the man at the head of the police de-
partment. Sheriff A. NJ. Brown. And
he is the man whom the Democrats and
Il few disgruntled Republicans would
replace by Curtis Iaukea"
! HUSTACE WARMLY GREETED.
Charley Hustace, introduced as the
new Hawaiian orator, then asked for
support for the party that had given
the Hawaiians work and kept them in
fish and poi. Hustace was greeted as
usual with hearty applause from all
| sides.
| GEORGE A. DAVIS
George A. Davis spoke on behalf of
| w. w. Harris, whom a slight illness
prevented from appearing in person.
| After explaining this. Davis waded
right into the Democrats, the Civic
Federation and the Anti-Saloon
League. Deacon Trent had said in the
Democratic part of the Bulletin that
the Republicans should discuss the
campaign issues, and he proposed to do
so now by asking the following ques-
| tions and leaving them to be answered
What appropriations can the Demo-
Gratis secure for fortifications, for pub
| lie buildings, for lighthouses or for
Federal public works? The Demo-
Gratis could get nothing and We're only
! trying TO hoodwink the Hawaiians into
making them think so. After election
they would tell the people to wait until
Bryan was elected, but they might as
| well ask them to wait for the angel
