The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1908-11-03


over on Hawaii. Recent reports from
that fair land of showers and sunshine
are to the effect that the bad egg crop
has been cornered by the straight-ticket
Republicans and that some of them wax
wealthy in the cigars they get every
time they hit the bullseye. 1t does not
do for amateur spellbinders to invade
Hawaii and essay any performances.
Link McCandless tried it and stuck un-
til an earthquake shook him loose. Bob
Single tried it on the dog there and
barely escaped with his smile, while
Jack Atkinson has been saying strange
things ever since he returned from
Puma.
Cupid is about the only Hawaiian
politician who can gain weight on the
Big Island, but Cupid is kamaaina in
Big Island politics and knows what he
is doing. He illustrated his thorough
knowledge of the game at the meeting
he held recently at Hilo.
On that occasion there was ruction
and row in the hall before he got up to
speak. A few men had been dragged
out of the armory by the police and
a few others had been tucked away un
der the benches. 1t was typical Hilc
political gathering with three parties
LISTING for each others wool.
Cupid sauntered to the front of thu
platform and there was hubbub, on,
big man in the front row being par
ticularly noisy. "You re rotten" he in
formed the Prince.
81 warn you not to interrupt me,
said the Prince, aiming forefnger a
the big man.
"You're rotten" again announced
the unterrifed heckler.
Bang! Cupid's feet hit the floor il
front of the platform.
Bihl Cupid's fist hit the interrupte
under the jaw.
Bump! The interrupter' IS head hit tn
floor
Then Cupid climbed back to the plat
form, made his talk and carried tn
meeting with him. Not only did he wi
the audience but he won the man h
slugged, who crawled up to him afte
the meeting, apologized for the incor
venience he had been the occasion O
and promised the Delegate his vote.
An Issue Extraordinary. Z
There is excitement in Maui an
there is clamoring from the house tor
ON Lanai and it is hard to say wher
the greatest indignation exists an
where the grand old Republican part
is being lambasted the most becaus
government officials appointed by RI
publican administration have shown
discrimination. Whether the discrimin;
ton has been levelled against the W;
hines of the Valley Isle or the beautit
of the wind swept islet is not yet Sc
y tied. On Maui it is claimed that ran
. injustice has been done the ladies {
: that county while over in Gay Brother
goat pasture the circles of society a
passion wracked.
1t appears that the vaceinator I
the Board of Health has been tourir
I the island suburbs and with his lit
I lymph tubes has been putting his k
! huna totem on all the ladies not prev
? ously decorated. On Maui he barred h
little lancet and jabbed it into the arm
of the fair wahines. He escaped befo
- the vaccine took and wended his ste
across the Auau channel to the lai
70 that set Link attacking. Here he
cided upon a new method of using |
1t his COW juice and instead of operatiI
fnpon shoulders and bieeps he dug b
IT knife into the legs of all the inhabitan
and then fled for the highlands abo'
/. Maunalei gulch. As soon as he judg
that the population was out of conc
ton to give him footraee he lined
:" for Manele bay and tagged steam'
- Now, if the vaecinator had canvass
all the legs on his trip or confined hi
70 self altogether to arms there would Il
d be the issue that the Republican ean'
dates of Maui and Lanai have 70 me
