When the Sheriff finished speaking
he was vigorously applauded and Sam.
Kamaka was called to the platform for
a cornet solo which he rendered with
fine expression.
WATERHOUSE AND SHARKS.
Fred. Waterhouse said he was born
here in Hawaii and is as dear to the
people as shark.
"When ] was small boy,'' he said,
81 was brought up by Hawaiian
| nurse. | saw, when a little boy, at
Puuloa, wahines swimming around with
sharks surrounding them. / asked my
nurse why it was the shark did not
eat them and she told me, that years
ago, the biggest shark there, was the
| kaheona. They were kamaaina sharks
and never bothered the fishermen. One
| day n malihini shark came into the
| harbor and swan around to Waipahu.
There it became hungry and started to
eat the fishermen. The old king shark,
when the fishermen got out their nets,
! drove the malihini into it. But the
net was too weak and he broke through
Later he was captured in stronger
net and was killed, his tongue being
cut out and thrown into the sea. The
tongue foated to Maui and Hawaii
and got the sharks to go to Pearl
Harbor and kill Kaheona and the rest
of them. They went there and had a
battle which accounts for the big hole
| there. The result of the battle was
proclamation to the sharks that no
| one was to be eaten who went swim
ming in Pearl Harbor. The application
of the story was in Hawaiian, but it
was gathered that Kuhio is to 90 out
of the harbor without being stopped
by the malihini-McClanaha Much
laughter and applause). He wanted
the voters to cast their ballot not only
for the big shark (Kuhio), but the
smaller sharks who are helping him.
Waterhouse got his audience from
the moment he stepped on the platform
and had their attention throughout.
Mr.. Pahia called upon everyone to
vote for Brown and give three cheers
for him.
The chairman next introduced Sen
ator McCandless. The applause was
generous as the speaker mounted the
platform. He greeted the crowd and
then thanked them for electing him in
1902
LINK HITS BACK
He said that with the advent OF the
Republican party in the Legislature
cane good roads and electric lights in
Kalihi If the party is elected in No
vember the good work will continue.
Before you men had ten hours for a
day. Now you have eight hours and
better pay. We believe in pushing the
work, not standing still. Since the
Republican party came in you have
had new wharves, more people are at
work and industries are being started.
This is the result OF an honest admin
istration by the Republican party, and
you must decide which is the party
you are to select. Under the Demo-
cratic administration in the United
States the state of the treasury was
bad, but under the Republican admin
istration everything is progressing. The
Democrats tried to do Lincoln, who
was the friend of the poor men. On
a building on Bethel street 1 know of
Portuguese and Hawaiians drawing
81 per day. If you will help the Re
publican party, more of you will get
work and you should vote for the Re
publcans. not the Democrats, who
give you hot air. / want you to vote
the Republican ticket because it is the
party that gives you work.
He said he has natives who have
been working for him for twenty-three
years. Democratic speakers have de-
clared that he did not give natives
work. 'Is this not evidence that I
employ them?" he asked. "I am not
sticking to the rich, as others do, but
work for the people"
He added that since the Republican
party came in there is a road being
built in Koolau, and he had always
tried to help the people and wants
them to help him.
Jim Kupihea seemed to be in charge
of the claque. for he led the cheers at
all times and was particularly vocifer-
Gus when A. V. Gear was called.
81 PER, SAID GEAR.
He said This is the first time
have addressed you as candidate.
and l wish you aloha"
He had been promised their votes.
and he asked that the votes would be
cast for the full Republican ticket. He
said there is not enough money to pay
all the employees in the police and road
departments but when the Republican
party is in power he would do every
thing in his power to get every en-
ploye of the road department from
$3.50 to 81 n day, He said 1t made no
difference after the 9Th of November,
the nominees of the Republican party
would be found in sunshine or rain
working for the interests of the people,
Jim again led the crowd In the cheers
when Charlie Chillingworth was called
upon.
Mr. Chillingworth made an earnest
appeal for the election of a son of the
soil. Kuhio, in preference to McClana-
han, malihini And then he went
straight down the line, calling for
votes for the solid Republican ticket, !
which was composed of>tried and true
men, There was frequent applause and
