prevail to the statements by hearing
them made and not eontradicting them.
With these false statements as a basis
the Democrats are attacking through
out the Fifth District the man who in
troduced the bill, introduced ii at the
request of the Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, who found such a law
in operation and doing excellent work
in the leading States in the Union.
There are some of the Democratic can
didates who know the reason for this
law, who appreciate the fact that this
law is for the good of the whole people
of the Territory, but / blame them be-
cause they by cowardly silence allow
the law to be misrepresented and on
the misrepresentation expect political
benefit for themselves.
"The good of this Territory, the
good of our people of all races, is some
thing that should not be tempered with
and those who are allowing this to
go on unrebuked are not friends of Ha.
waii nor true patriots
Single on Land.
R. w. Shingle, who followed Governor
Frear, stated that he was one of the
ones who had fault to find with the
present land law of the Territory, al
though he did not blame the present
executive for it. On the contrary, he
said, he gave the Governor and the
Superintendent of Public Lands full
credit for attempting to administer the
laws fairly He agreed with Governor
Frear that in amending these laws and
in working out the land problems a
Republican success at the polls was
necessary to attain the best results, and
pledged him his best efforts if he was
elected to the House
Rawlins for Legislative Ticket.
w. T. Rawlins, who was called upon
from the audience, spoke at length on
the work of the members of the past
House, giving inside history of the
work done by some of the candidates,
Castro, Kaleiopu, E. A. G. Long and
himself, praising the first three for
their conscientious efforts to do what
was best. He spoke in high praise OF
the three candidates for the Senate on
the ticket and urged their election and
also expressed his opinion that the
new candidates were men from whom
the best could be confidently expected.
Mr.. Rawlins, who spoke more or
less eXtemp0raneously, made Whirl-
wind speech, one of the best that has
been heard so far in the campaign.
Honest John Hughes.
John Hughes was the last speaker,
making one of his usually clever ad-
dresses. He agreed, he said, with the
man who believed that if all the Re-
publicans were dead the Democrats
could carry on the government of the
country successfully, but thought that
the Republicans would all have to die
before the Democrats came to a realiza-
tion of their responsibility.
Mr.. Hughes referred to three men,
the fruits of Republicanism, from
which the party could be judged, as
trio who should inspire everyone who
knew them, naming President Roose-
Welt, Governor Hughes of New York,
and Governor Frear, men whose lives,
public and private, were above critic
ism. Referring to the leader of the
local Democratic party, and the wings
that had been nailed on him by the
Democratic orators, the speaker said
that he regretted that Volcano Mar
shall was not here TO say: "Shades Of
Uriah Heep, hold my water buffalo that
I may go away and weep"
