DEMOCRATS


L. MeCandless as Delegate to Congress
and the ticket generally.
Charles Rose, candidate for Deputy
Sheriff of Honolulu, was greeted with
applause and referred to the different
candidates on the ticket, pointing ont
their eminent qualifications for the re.
spective Offices for which they were
running.
Dan Kamahu, candidate for Repre-
sentative for the Fifth District, spoke
eloquently in Hawaiian on the leading
issues of the campaign, stating that
the Democratic party had espoused the
peoples cause and should therefore
have their support.
Judge Edings said that men usually
get their deserts in this world and that
is why the Republicans, who a few
years ago were arrogant and powerful,
sweeping everything before them, had
now dwindled in power and bid fair to
become totally disrupted from internal
dissenson. Every man was fighting
his neighbor at the party's expense.
Whereas the Democratic party which
was formerly represented by a mere
handful and was considered joke, was
now enjoying popularity and would
soon celebrate its triumph by invading
the public Offices both here and on the
mainland. He said the Democratic
party is essentially the working man S
party. The people are recognizing this
and are rallying to its standard. The
Federation of Labor recently reinforced
the ranks of the Democratic Party by
about two millions of voters.

been and always would be with ,the
oppressed, and if they sought redress
at his hands he would not turn them
empty away. The interpreter, Mr.. Ke.
| auehaku, at the conclusion of Judge
Edings' speech paid him warm trib-
ute in Hawaiian for the efficient and
unremunerated services he had per.
formed for both his party and the
public.
w. p. Jarrett, candidate for Sheriff,
received great ovation. He said that
the Republican candidate for Sheriff
had told the people not to vote for
an old woman. He said that he had
no desire to be personal, but was re.

ever knew being named Poor cit
