OF DEMOCRATS
THE UNTEERIFGED HOLD A MON.
sTER MEETING AT PALACE
SQUARE-MANY SPEECHES.

The joint Democratic meeting of the
Fourth and Fifth Districts held at the
intersection of Merchant, King and
Richard streets attracted a very large
crowd. The crowd was probably not so
lage as that at Aala Park but it was
nevertheless a splendid meeting and
showed that the candidates of the
Democratic party have the support of
a large part of their element of the
community. AS usual the natives con-
stituted the greater part of the crowd.
Many women were present and they
took their accustomed lively interest in
the proceedings.
Speaking was done from a platform
erected near the Waikiki makai cor
ner Of Richard and Merchant, and
about this platform were a number of
benches. Every available scat was
taken and hundreds stood throughout
the evening. The fences along one of
the Atkinson parks at the little pam
handle between King and Merchant
streets was lined with people as was
the fence of the tennis grounds. Many
people stood i'm the palace grounds.
The crowd was not an especially de-
monstrative one but there was enthu-
siasm manifested at frequent inter-
walls. Especially was the crowd dem
onstrative over the name of Iaukea. lie
was given marked applause when he
went on the platform to speak and his
remarks were interrupted with bursts
of applause But the most noticeable
Iaukea enthusiasm was indicated dur
! ing the singing of 1.-The Iaukea cam
| paign song" Every time the name of
Iaukea was heard in the song there
came a burst of applause from the
crowd. During the course of his speech
! Iaukea, the candidate for sheriff, said
! that he would, If elected, permit every
place that was entitled to remain open
to do so, but every place that was re-
uuired under the law to be closed
would be forced to do so. Iaukea laid
particular stress on the conditions
which it was claimed existed in the
community under the lax administra-
ton of the police department He pro-
missed to make changes and reform in
this method of administration. He
made a special appeal to heads Of fam
lilies to support the Democratic ticket
and end the reign of conditions espe'
cially that of drunkenness that pre-
vailed under the present police admin
istration.
r. B. Mechanism, the nominee foi
Delegate to Congress, made an impas
stoned address in which he touched
upon the Cuban issue, but made an es
pecially strong appeal to his hearers t.
support the Democratic ticket through
out.

candidacy of Iaukea. He said tina
Iaukea had filled various official posi-
lions in these islands and had Away
done so with entire credit to himself
