CAMPAIGNERS
OUT IN FORCE
LAST EVENING
Two Democratic and One Republican Rally Held
in the City---Rain lnterferes With Their
Progress and Attendance.

The Kakaako residents to the num-
Der of a. couple of hundred, rallied be-
fore the Democratic headquarters last
night and listened with varying de-
grees of enthusiasm to the Democratic
spellbinders. A slight drizzling rain
fell during the early part of the meet
ing. driving about half the audience
away. There was the usual amount of
repartee from different members of the
crowd, but on the whole the rally may
be considered success, especially IN
view of the unfavorable weather.
The candidates who spoke were;
Charles Mccarthy, w. W. Thayer, Col.
Iaukea. Charles Broad, NJ A. Silva,
Edward Ingham. U1uhi. Charles Rose.
Moses PaIau, F. w. Weed. Joseph Fern
and Thomas Gandall. Albert Kauwe
acted as chairman and F. w. Weed as
interpreter for those who could not ad-
dress the meeting in Hawaiian
Charles Mccarthy devoted much OF
his time to pointing out that the pres
ent distribution of districts was unfair
to the residents of Kakaako- The
platform OF the Democrats contained a
redistribution plank which, if put into
effect, would divide the county so that

ber of the Legislature and do away

kiki and Kakaako, with totally differ
ent requirements. voting on the same
set of men.
w w. Thayer received generous ap-
plause. He pointed to the records of
Moore and Trent as earnests of what
the Democrats could do if elected.
Curtis Iaukea was received with
cheers. He stated that he had not
sought the nomination for sheriff, but
having accepted it. was going into the
campaign to win. The sentiment of the
public seemed to be that change was
needed in police matters, and If elect
ed he would see that there was a
change and a cleaning out. He was
opposed to a police force paid for by
the taxpayers being used as a political
machine, and if he were put at the
head of the department he would in
sist on the police doing their duty
and letting politics alone while on
duty Now was the time for the peo-
pie to get the needed reforms. Many
Republicans are going to revolt from
supporting the candidates of a packed
convention.
Charles Broad. candidate for senator,
and NJ A Silva. out for Legislative
honors, were the next speakers. Mr..
silva spoke in Portuguese. dealing at
length with the Democratic promise to
secure an immediate revision of the
land laws if elected. Under the sys-
tenn they proposed there would not be
any such abortive attempts at coloniz-
ing as in the recent MoIokan matter.
E. Ingham remarked that the candi-
date which eourted the enmity OF the
Advertiser as a help to election was
also a candidate for the attentions of
the fool-killer. For himself he admir-
ed the stand of the Advertiser in ad-|
yocating the election of only fit men.
Among the other speakers. Charley
Rose and Joseph Fern received a gen.
erous share of applause and cheers,
the meeting breaking up at late hour
with cheers and a tiger for the Demo-
cratic party and its candidates.
REPUBLICANS AT PAU0A.
Two quintet clubs furnished the music
that kept the crowd in good humor at
the Republican meeting at Pauoa last
night. It was not intended that there
should be two clubs, but as they were
tAere, they remained to bring pleasure
to the audience. 0se of the clubs was
composed of members of Company T,
and their singing was delightful. The
bit of rivalry among the musicians help,
ed matters amazingly.
Charlie Booth, in whose precinct the
meeting was held. was active in provid-
ing for the comfort of the people
