A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held oll Punchbowl street last evening
by the Democrats. It was a demon
strative meeting, and when the names
OF Iaukea, Jarrett, MeClanahan, Trent
and Silva were mentioned they were
greeted with applause
Few of the candidates were present.
as many started on their tour of the
island yesterday morning. Despite
this draw wback, however, there were
enough to keep the Portuguese and Ha-
waiian audience present to late hour.
Fred Turrill made a characteristic
old-time Democratic speech. He said
hour were of keen interest to the people
of the hills He said that in five
years more the leases on the lands on
the slopes of Punchbowl would be put
up for sale. The question is" he said,
ARE you going to pay the upset price
or stand by the party that will give
YOU a chance to buy reasonably? The
party to give the chance is the Demo-
cratic party.
1T is time the Portuguese took a hand
in the affairs of the country. The
Japs are crowding the Portuguese chill
dren out of schools. There is not
enough room for ALL
1--WE find today that the District At
torney of the Federal Court has de-
scended into local politics to fight the
battles of the other fellows.
Vote for the Democratic party, send
your own people into the Legislature,
and stay here in Honolulu. If you
don't you'll begin following other Por-
tuguese up to Marin county, California.
Is this country to become all Ameri-
can or is il to be a Japanese colony?
LAS TO beer and wine I take a glass
when 1 want to, but I appeal to you
people not to sell your vote for a glass
of beer. as the Republicans are trying
to make you do.
These Republican Supervisors claim
they have done everything, but they
forget that Moore, the Democrat, was
IN that board and it was due to his
fights for your rights that the board
did anything for you at all. Some of
those Supervisors went to the mainland
and were away for long periods and
they drew their warrants right along
That is a sort of public grand larceny"
ULUIHPS APPEAL.
Mr.. Uluihi, running for the Leg gisla-
lure, made a speech which took the
fancy of-the crowd. He spoke in Ha-
waiian and English. He advised the
women to take their husbands into
quiet corner and talk to them and get
1hem to vote the right ticket. That
was the Democratic ticket. The Re
pubIicans were telling the people about
s. S4 and SIS a day wages. THAT is
only a hot gaspipe" said Mr.. Uluihi.
EMMELUpH ON GRAFT.
John Emmeluth talked about graft in
politics and applied some of the prin-
ciples to the local field. The people
of Punchbowl had an example of graft
right before them. The Territorial Gov
-srnment had leased the lands on the
Punchbowl slopes to an estate 1t took
in the whole hill and brought in a rev
eenue of only 800 year to the Govern
nent The estate controlling the lease
holds received a revenue of over $4,000
a wear 1t was one of the fattest as
sets of the Kapiolani estate. The Re-
publican party was the party of wealth.
That was the reason they could give
the finest luaus and use the best rigs.
Everything they did was through the
ability of the wealthy people to put
up at least 81 for every 800 they ex-
pected to derive through legislation.
The first Legislature was controlled
by the Home Rulers" said he. "and
the leaders were sold out to the
wealthy element long before the Legis-
lature met The Home Rulers split
and became Independents, Independent
Home Rulers and Independent Repub-
licans, and the present Republican Del
agate and candidate for Congress was
then a Home Ruler.
IT was a Democrat long before j
went in with the Home Rule gang. 1
went with them because many OF their
,,incinles were Identical with mine. but
I found in the first legislative session
that there were elements III that party
that could not be trusted
IF YOU want justice done vote tht
straight Democratic ticket
