jailed If they didn't. they ought to"
Trent drew a Christmas picture of
little starving babe being found in a
pool of blood near its murdered mother
the guilty husband having escaped. He
had killed his wife during a drunken
rage. The Republicans bring plenty
OF beer down here to get. You drunk.

and beat his wife or even kill her? Do

| Don't let the life of this fair land be
throttled with drinking. lying and
cheating. Do you want the reputation

rome and all over the world that the

/ Then don't follow the methods of the
Republicans.

| WOMEN HAVE INFLUENCE.
| w w Thayer paid a compliment to
|
the meeting by saying that although
| the men cast the ballots here, yet the
women generally had the best of the
arguments at home and their inf1u-
ence would doubtless be felt by the
voters. He scored the methods of the
Republicans and accused many of the
candidates therefore to be unfit for
holding office. This sentiment was
loudly applauded
The Republicans" he said, appeal
to you with beer and booze because
that is all the arguments they have left
in this campaign. The Democrats have
a good ticket in the field. and if elected
they will give you good government.
The trouble with the good men on the
Republican ticket is that they were
nominated by the bad element which
also nominated the poor sticks on the
ticket. The good men in the end VIII
be controlled by the bad men and the
machine.
Il heard w o. Smith apologizing for
some of the men on the Republican
ticket. We don't have to apologize for
our men. Our men were not nominated
by two or three men-a machine-but
by a regular convention and all in the
open.
II believe we will sweep Waianae as
we will other sections. On windward
