THE CAMPAIGN
OF DISCUSSION

VI Dl1UU11IUW
About 1900 to 1000 people assembled
at the Republican rally in Aala Park
on Saturday evening. Kaais orches-
ira was in attendance and played be-
fore the opening and between speeches.
Eli j. Crawford interpreted the English
addresses with perfect acceptance.
At meeting of candidates with the
County Committee on Friday af-
ternoon it was decided that every
candidate should have an opportunity
of speaking, but it was generally agreed
that owing to the large number the
remarks of eacn one should be brief
So from curiosity one of them took the
time of all but Kinney and Correa, who
spoke Immediately after Senator w. D.
Smiths opening address.
Charles Kanekoa, president of the
Longshoremens Benevolent Associa-
ton, very acceptably presided.
Senator ". o. Smith made a strong
address on the necessity OF organiza-
ton and the duty for evry member OF
the party to support its nominees and
policy.
Short speeches were made by Ruel
Kinney and S. P. Correa, candidates
for the House. Then in the order given
the following spoke for the time res
pectively mentioned the English
speeches including Interpretation being
actually less than half as long as the
time stated, so that it may be seen at
glance that the average made the
acme of brevity:
Norman Watkins, eight minutes; w.
Aylett, Hawaiian, six minutes; H. NJ.
Won Holt, Hawaiian eight and English
three, total eleven minutes; j. c.
Quinn, nine minutes; Sol. Kaleiopu,
Hawaiian, twenty-one minutes; S. P.
Maielua, Hawaiian, three minutes; j.
H. Wise, Hawaiian, twelve minutes;
James Bicknell, three minutes; W.
AHA, Hawaiian, six minutes; w. Kane,
English and Hawaiian self spoken, two
utes; John X. Kamanoulu, Hawaiian,
five minutes; David Kama, Hawaiian
six minutes; Daniel Logan, six min
utes; KalauOkalani, Hawaiian, five
minutes; John A. Hughes, eleven min
utes; Chris Holt, two minutes; A. d.
Castro, fourteen minutes; John G. Lane
twelve minutes.
Mr. Watkins made powerful argu-
ment against drawing the color line
at the polls. He has been compliment
ed on all sides since the meeting for
his speech.
Mr.. Won Holt in English told the
voters that Governor Frear, whom he
consulted on the matter, had advised
him before the convention to accept
the nomination for treasurer as a civic
and a party duty.
Mr.. Logan, taking it to be a straight
Republican gathering, made an APP
peal to the rank and file to work for
the ticket this week, as one recruit
gained then might mean two more
voters the last week of the campaign.
The cause was that of the community
rather than that of the candidates.
Mr.. Hughes made one of his strong
and logical demonstrations that the
Republican party was the party of pro-
gress and prosperity throughout its
history and the party with which the
welfare of Hawaii was at the present
iuncture bound up.
Mr. Kaleiopu made a vigorous de-
tense of his record on health measures
in the House, proving his assertions
with official documents in his hands.
The other speakers discussed the
ticket or the platform in various parts.
THE DEMOCRATS.
There was a Democratic meeting in
the railway station grounds, about 100
yards from Aala Park, which failed
to draw the crowd from the latter al
though it was quite well attended.
The Democrats had another meeting
at Emma Square, at which the House
candidates for the Fourth district, the
municipal candidates and H. T. Moore,
for the Senate, spoke. Three cheers
were given on dispensing at II o'clock
for w. Jarrett.
REPUBLICANS AT WAIANAE.
Republican candidates took the 9:l5
train for Waianae yesterday morning.
After enjoying an excellent lunch at
the boarding house opposite the mill,
they found their money was no good
as Manager FREQ Meyer had seen the
erstaurateur first.
SHORTLY after one o'clock the meeung
was opened on the courthouse premises,
Chairman j. X. Kupau taking his sta
ton on the veranda of the jailor's new
cottage. Mr.. Mapu opened the pro-
ceedings with prayer.
The Waianae band played before the
meetings and between the speeches. It's
performance was a surprise to the town
