MAIELUA GETS
On THE STUMP
kaea S Successor on the Ticket
Made a Hit in His First
Speech.

Maielua, the Republican candidate
+ for Representative from the Fifth, whe
has been selected to replace the gam
bier Kaea on the ticket, made his first
appearance as candidate at the Re
publican rally held in Puunui last night
/ His speech was one of the hits of the
meeting, he turning back upon the origi-
nators very neatly the report already
in circulation among the Hawaiians
that Kaea was put off the ticket by
the haole Republicans on account of his
color.
.tThey tell you that Kaea was put
off the ticket because he had dark
skin, said Maielua last night. But
If that is so it must seem very funny
that they picked me to go on in his
place, because my skin is darker than
his. " AS Maielua is particularly
swarthy Hawaiian, this remark proved
a winner and its further use will de-
tract from the harm Kaea 3 color line
talk will do to the Republican cause.
There is some danger, or there was,
that the Hawaiians in the Fifth might
not understand the committee s action
in firing the gambler-eandidate, but in
the Fourth the ticket as whole has
been strengthened materially by the
pruning out of the name, although the
Fourth have no vote so far as either
Kaea or Maielua are concerned.
Kaea has now turned to the Home
Rulers, who don't want him, stating
very plainly that no black sheep need
apply. Last night he wanted to make
a speech at the Home Rule meeting in
Nslranu, but was turned down, while
an, the Republican platforms are tabu'
for him in future.
There was not much of an audience at
the Puunui meeting but what few had
gathered gave the speakers good hear.
ing and at times appIauded in a desul-
tory way Harry Won Holt got the best
reception, his speech dealing with mali
hinis and the story told by Trent at
Aala park on Saturday night. The
speaker made a noise like plover at
one stage of his address.
Logan made one of the longest
speeches at the meeting, emphasizing
the need of good, harmonious Board
of Supervisors to institute city govern
ment, composed of men who would work
for the good of the city and not waste
time and opportunity by playing pol
ities. He was very well received.
William Paikuli, district leader, act
ed as chairman and kept the crowd in
good humor by injecting remarks of his
own concerning the candidates as he in
trodueed them.
The list of speakers was: Nauha,
Correa, Logan, Maielua, Kane, Kama,
Watkins, Kaleibpu, Mikslemi, Won Holt,
Kalauokalani and Wise.

Americans in China Did
Much to Help on
Agitation.

That the Chinese boycott against
American goods was fOstered and kept
alive to very great extent by Ameri
cans themselves, those engaged in man
ufaeturing in the Chinese. coast cities
and that the only manufacturers in the
Orient who initiate American goods, du-
plieate American trademarks and labels
are the japanese, were the two most
striking statements made by Consul
General Mason Mitchell in the course
of a very interesting address before
the members of the Chamber of Com
meree yesterday. Mr.. Mitchell told of
the possibilities for American trade in
the interior of Western China IL the
American manufacturers went after the
trade properly, spoke of the immense
possibilities for development in that
country, and gave many incidents of
life in the Province of Szechuen, where
he has been stationed for the past three
years
There was not as good an attendance
of the members as the excellence of
Mr.. Mitchell S and of Percy Hunter s
addresses justified. Mr.. Hunter, the
director of the New South Wales Intel
Ggenee Department, was called upon
after the conclusion Of the consular ad-
dress, and spoke of Ghe possibilities of
Hawaii and Australia cooperating in a
quest for tourists, and took advantage
of the opportunity also to state some
facts concerning Australia in order to
dispel some erroneous impressions CON
cerning his country he had met with in
Honolulu.
J. P. Cooke, who presided over the
meeting, introduced Mr.. Mitchell, who
said, in part:
''It is a great pleasure to me to be
able to appear here this afternoon and
address you on the possibilities of the
country in which l have been living,
but I do not wish TO speak of the trade
relations between this country and the
coast cities of China. Of these rela-
tions you no doubt are as well informed
as 1 am, for l have been for three years
in the interior of China.
''In the Province of Szechuen, where
4 was serving, foreign visitors wonder
at three things: First, there is the inn
'mensity of the country, then the density
of the population, and, third, the in
dustry and perseverance of the people,

WILL BECKLEY
Be OUT FOR
MAYOR?
Rumor That He Is to
Come Out on Color
Line Issue.

| Fred Beckley, Independent candidate
for Mayor, is now the specter that the
straight line party men have to worry
over. Beckley climbed a soap box at
the corner of King and Bethel yester-
day afternoon and launcned out into
what was interpreted as a bitter anti
haole talk and now the politicians are
questioning each other as to what it
means.
f'Do not vote for any haole on the
ticket, . said Beckley in the course of
his harangue yesterday. ''vote for the
Hawaiians. Pick the best Hawaiians
from each of the three tickets. That
is what I am going to do There are
good Hawaiians among the Republicans;
there are good men on the Democratic
ticket and the Home Rule ticket has
some Hawaiians that you should vote
for.
"Let the people see that this seoun-
try can be governed by the Hawaiians.
The people on the mainland look to us
Hawaiians, not to the plovers."
Just why Beekley should come out
like this and talk for nearly an hour
for split-straight Hawaiian ticket can
only be accounted for by the politicians
in one way They reason that he has
drawn the color line purposely that
he might be dismissed from his position
as Hawaiian interpreter in the Supreme
Court Then he can announce himself
as the Hawaiian candidate for Mayor,
a martyr to the Hawaiian cause, fred
from his position because he is a Ha-
waiian and advising the Hawalians
what to do. Such an appeal. at this
stage of the game, might be an effective
