before an electorate on a platform so
firm and solid. He urged the Hawaii
ans to stick together and give the
Democrats solid vote on election day.
sILvAs SPEECH.
NJ. A Silva said that the Democrats
We're not waging a campaign of spite.
but of independence. The time had
come for the people to show that they
would not be led by the Republican
machine any longer. The Portuguese
intended TO show by their votes that
they were Independent of the machine,
and the Hawaiians would do well to
follow their example. The Portuguese
and Hawaiians had not got a square
deal at the hands of the Republican
party, and in this election the Republi-
can candidates represented but hand
full of machine men. whereas the Dem
ocratic candidates represented the peo-
pie. The Democrats promised to carry
out what their platform stood for and
that in itself was enough to secure
the votes of every good and thinking
man.
"On November g." Silva concluded,
"step up and do the right thing by vot-
ing the straight Democratic ticket and
you'll never have cause to regret it,
A voice: "We'l vote it straight, all
right
INGHAM LASHES OUT.
E. Ingham said that he'd try to
hand out a new line OF talk, as the old
stereotyped speeches were becoming
stale
He said that often, when one man
wanted favor from another, he would
buy him drink or cigar. When he
got what he wanted he had no furth-
er use for his kind friend. His tactics
were characteristic of the Republican
party. They had fed the people booze
and gave them luaus in order that in
their befuddlement they might forget
the promises made. This was before
election. Once they were in power there
and the main issue was lost in the
shuttle
The Democrats came before the peo-
pie with a platform of which they were
justly proud. They were pledged to
work to raise the laborers' wages from
s125 to $3.50 per day. They were not
buying votes with beer, but with good
platform.
The speaker had read an article in
an evening paper about Lanai being
blown into the sea. This island, if the
right people were in power, could be
colonized by homeseekers and home
were not in favor of this. They wanted
to give the island to the purposes of
a few. L. McCandless opposed this
policy, thereby endorsing the plank in
the Democratic platform.
If elected, the speaker said, he would
go to the Legislature to work for the
people as a whole and not for any one
class or political creed.
Sheriff who will protect virtue and
fight vice. We want this above all for
our children's sake. A good law is no
better than a bad law unless it be en-
forced for the benefit of those for
whom it was enacted. Cloud and con-
tinued applause.)
KIAKAHI and PAALAU.
Toela Kiakahf spoke of the education
of aliens, the leper suspect plank, the
forced sale issue and other live topics.
Moses Paalau said he had been to
Manoa yesterday and brought the glad
tidings that among the Hawaiians
there the cause of Democracy is be-
coming more popular every day. He
then spoke on his pet theme of leprosy.
KALAKIELA'S FANG.
Jack Kalakiela said that the police
department needed a thorough shaking
up. The presence of the machine was
menace to the good of the com
munity. The dissension of prominent
Republicans and the presence of others
on the Democratic ticket might be TAX
en- as a safe indication that the state
of affairs under Brown was about as
rotten as it could be.
He had been elected Deputy Sheriff
by the people and Brown, to further
his own private ends, had sandwiched
Henry Vida between him and the Sher-
if. He had by this action sidetracked
the will of the people and had put Vida
there to do his private bidding and not
to carry out the law.
Fred Weed spoke on the platform and

siderable attention to Link" McCand-
