and taken from the light to the dark
, to listen to "Achi the OWL" who would
!, soou eat them
Male said he knew what he was
! talking about for he had tried Democ-
racy, got a smattering of Home Rule-
ism. but found the only real panacea
for brain flag in the ranks of the Re-
pubiicans and hoped all of his friends
would come into the party.
! He denounced the Governor as did
the previous speaker and spoke highly
of W. Q. Smith and Fred Waterhouse
and paid a high tribute to the worth
of A. NJ. Brown-whereat the orches-
ira applauded. Henry Vida came in
for his need of praise for Male termed
him the Savior of the World because
when young men We're arrested they
sent for him and he turned them loose.
A booze fighter in the crowd endorsed
everything Male said and prophesed
victory for Lane at the primaries.
Then he swung around toward the
Achi bunch who were standing in the
dark and extended them a cordial in
vitation to come over and listen to
C. B. Maile''
Whether 1t was the invitation or the
hula played by the Quintet Club that
drew back the deserters makes no diff
ference, they came in columns of tours
and soon the crowd had swelled to
greater proportions than ever. There
was a suspicion among the whites that
it was the strains of Honolulu Hula
hula High that did the business.
SOME STATISTICAL REMARKS.
Solomon Kaleiopu, the next speaker
hol
twenty minutes.
He made some doubtful statements
relative to the population, giving the
number at 154, 900 of whosn $4,000 are
Japanese. He slashed Achi with two
edged sword and mentioned his con-
nection with the Hawaii Land Co. with
the freedom of man who had bought
lots. II have no objections to La
Dor party said the speaker, "but I
want to see the head of that party
an honest man. He attacked the
Achi tax schedule and said the Labor
leader had tried to impress the Ha-
waiians with the idea that an increase
III the tax levy would affect only the
rich. In this, he said Achi is mis-
leading the people, for if the wealthy
owners OF houses are forced to pay
higher taxes they would reimburse
themselves by increasing the rents and
forcing the poor to pay them. He
mingled statistics with other things
until the audience, collectively and
singly, spat cotton. There were dry
statements and some facts. He ven
tured the opinion that if a high tax /
levy was enforced the wealthy people
would hire Japanese, who do just as |
good carpenter work as the whites and !
for the reason that with |
more money forced out of them by the !
government they must make even by |
a decrease in their expenses. japanese
are driving out haole carpenters and
if Achi has his way more of them
will leave for want of work.
KANUHA, THE SEER.
At GAO Senator Kanuha began one
Of his astronomical observations and
from the signs he noticed in the firma- +
ment there could be no question of L
the result at the primaries. He de-
precated faction and deplored the ac-
ion of the Hawaiians who struggled on Il
different sides to attain the same re-
suit. He said while they fought the
laoles would step in and get what
hey were fighting for, just as two dogs
sighting over a bone lost it often to
another dog. He said Achi was back
I'd by some rich men and when he got
what he was after the Hawaiian could /,
go to. In closing his remarks he 4
begged all hands to remember John G.
Lane and his delegates and to vote for
he Sunday school class. Il
WAIALUA AND GRAFT. /,
Before introducing the next speaker
he chairman related some of his ex- 1
)erience as a worker with Achi for
he election of William Henry. He had
)een promised certain sum per week
lnf a bank roll at the close of the !
Aside from a little money ]
every Saturday he got nothing be-
ause Henry was not elected. At least
hat is what Achi told him, adding
hat he had not received anything for /
us personal services. The chairman
aid that he aftervvard learned that |:
Achi had collected the money and job I
,ed him.
KUHIO ARRIVES.
Mr. Kanepuu of the station house |:
vas stripped of his charms as mo-
nentary attraction by the arrival of /
Delegate Kuhio and suite few min
ties after he turned up. He said
mong other thinks that he had heard i
rumor that John c., Lane, being a Il
,raduate of ST. Louis College, was
working only for the graduates of that
Institution. He knew this to oe false
Lane was working for everybody
Taken by and large the meeting, or
part of it, seemed very like Lane
Doom for Congress.
