ed as chairman and discharged the du-
ties acceptabIy He opened the meet
ing by asking that Republicans De
elected. He thought that if w. 0.
Smith he'd been in the Senate last SEES
sion the $4,000 item for improvements
wanted him elected this time, and he
advised the voters to cast their ballots
for McCandless. who would surely be
elected and who would investigate the
loan bill, which was not passed in sec
tons Mr. Booth apparently thought it
would be a good thing to elect Brown
who had been tried by the courts and
found not guilty.
MCANDLESS FOR AMENDMENT.
Link McCandless was the first speak
er, though it was expected the Prince
would be called upon before the others
Mr. McCandless told what should be
done by Republican Senate and
promised to go the length of his ability
to secure amendments to the County
Act. He thought the work done by the
Republican party made it worthy the
support of the voters. His main effort
seemed to be the support necessary to
pass a bill appropriating $1,000 per
month for the Promotion Committee
because, through the efforts of that
committee, many tourists would come
here. That and tariff protection were
boosted to the limit. The necessity for
the election of a Republican delegate
was apparent to him for several rea-
sons He said Republican delegate
could accomplish more in a Republican
Congress than could be expected of a
Democrat and Kuhio had proven him

THE WHOLE TICKET.
Ella Long followed in English, prais-
ing the Republican party for the pro-
lection it gives industries and the citi
zens of the United States. He said
there are several large interests here
which, if not conducted tremendously
would harass each other, and for that
reason the voters should cast their bal
lots for each and every member Of the
Republican ticket, for. in his opinion,
each was an honest and capable man.
The party represents all classes and
conditions. 1t has pledged itself through
these candidates a remuneration for
the teachers to which their training en-
titles them. On the score of good pay
for labor, he cited reasons for the sue
cess of the straight ticket, He dwe1t
upon several other matters, taking UP
the different planks in the platform,
and closed with a request for the sup
port of the whole ticket.
KUHIO SPEAKS.
The Prince was well received when
he stepped on the platform. His re-
marks were in Hawaiian and was a
repetition of. those he has made since
his return from Hawaii, adding that
oratory is not the key to success in
Congress, and for that reason Mr.. Nc
Clanahan might not achieve much
should he be elected. The one great
essential was recognition from the
Speaker, for without that nothing could
be done. He had received that recog-
advance of McClanahan. He paid his
usual respects to the Advertiser, but
received no applause from the time he
went on the platform until he finished,
/ when one enthusiast tried to get the
accustomed cheers, but had to be con-
tented with hand-clapping.
BROWN MODERATE.
A. NJ. Brown was cheered by the
, crowd. He repeated the remarks so of
ten made about the disgruntied Repub-
licans. The matter of As policemen in
the convention had his attention, and
he asked if it was anything against
a policeman to be elected bv the PEI
Pile. He denied that the police de
partment was now run as a political
machine, that a policeman off duty
might do as he pleased and so long as
he was at the head of the department
he proposed to allow him that liberty.
Another argument his opponent is
making use of is the freedom of saloons
to woman. a matter for which the law
and not he is responsible 1t is not
fair in iaukea nor the press TO blame
him. He said he did not think it prop
er, bUt it would exist until the peo-
pie elected a Legislature that would
enact a different law. He did not be-
leNe II proper Tor woman TO frequent
saloons In view of the unfair fight
made against him and several others
on the ticket by the Civic Federation,
he hoped the people would get into line
and vote the straight ticket. He was
abused by the press for not making
promises as his opponent Iaukea is do
ing. He would appeal to the voters for
their support and their most loyal sup
port on the 9th day of November
He favored Kuhio for delegate on
the score of experience which is lack
ing in McClanahan. and said, he should

THE NEXT CLERK.
David kalauokalani, ,Jr., spoke of the
three parties in the field and said, the
question is which of them would bring
the greatest success. He spoke of the
Prince 5 record IN Washington. The
speaker said he had been secretary to
the late Delegate Wilcox, and is fam
