BLAME ON CARTER
SAYS GOVERNOR Is RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE LIQUOR LAW WHICH
ALLOWS PRESENT CONDITIONS.


The Republican meeting at Kameha-
meha Fourth road last night was "A
very large one and there were many
manifestations of approval of the va
rious speakers. Ben Fabian presided.
At intervals rain put a very literal
damper upon the proceedings, but much
of the crowd stayed until the end w.
O. Smith was the first speaker called
upon by the chair.
Smith spoke earnestly for Kuhio
He is doing what is best for his
country" said the candidate for the
Senate. He is learning something all
the time and is giving Hawaii the bene-
fit of his knowledge. If he felt that
he could do more by being a member of
the Democratic party he would belong
to it because his wish is to do for his
people. The Home Rule party has no
standing on the mainland and is not
known there while the Republican par
ty is the best and is in power"
sylvester Correa followed in similar
strain, asking the voters to send Kuhio
back to Congress rather than elect a
malihini.
A M. Brown in the course of his
speech placed the responsibility for pre-
sent saloon conditions upon Governor
Carter, who he said, was the sponsor
for the present liquor law Brown re-
peated his declaration that he would
stand on his record and said
THE blame for faulty license law
can be truly laid at the door of one
man, Governor George r. Carter. 1t is
his bill and he is responsible for the
condition, and is it fair, I ask you, that
the blame should be put on my should
ers by the Advertiser? BY that law
women and young girls are admitted
to saloons the same as men and the
police department is powerless to pre-
vent it, I am opposed to this liquor
law and l know that every Republican
candidate to the Legislature is OPP
posed to it and will give you new
and a better one. l appeal to every
one of you, to every Republican, to
every voter, to vote for that ticket
from top to bottom as you supported
me eighteen months ago. l ask you
to support me and everyone on the
Republican ticket, more strongly even.
if it is possible"
After a cornet solo by Sam Kamaka,
F. T. P. Waterhouse spoke. He told
an alIegorical Hawaiian story which
made a hit. and his address won loud
applause. Pahia called for three cheers
for Brown and after they were igven
( Senator McCandless spoke. He spoke
largely of road work, telling what the
Republicans had done and stating that
if retained in power they would con-
tinue to do good work.
A. V. Gear raised the wages limit for
road work, by saying that if made
supervisors he would exert his influence
to have the wages in the road depart
ment made from 81 so to "a per day. {.
F. Chilingworth was greeted with
three cheers when he rose as the next
speaker. He gave an eloquent speech
in the Hawaiian language and was en-
Enthusiastically applauded. Senator Lane
made a speech asking support for the
whole ticket"
Charlie HustaCe, Jr., spoke as can
didate for supervisor, promising to look
after the Fifth district as well as the
Fourth if elected. His speech was sim

the audience as it won previous ones.
Henry Vida roasted Iaukea

Civic Federation He tells you that
YOU should vote for him because he is
one of you and this and that said
Vida. "but gentlemen, if he is one of
you, why did he throw the Queen down
and go over to the Provisional Govern
ment? He has gone from Republican
to Home Ruler and then back to DEM
ocrat. He said the Sheriff has the right

police station and, if he deemed it just,
to discharge them.
