necessary that we have a Legislature

effective. We want team play and ac-

Straight Ticket and yellow Dogs.
The Governor then closed with his
reference to the duty of the voter to
vote for the reputable candidates on
the ticket and to knock out the yellow
dogs if there were such there, using
the words quoted at the head of this

Castro's Able Address.
| A. ID. Castro, candidate for the House,
preceded Governor Frear in speaking,
| opening the meeting with the follow
| ing exposition of his and the party's
stand on the questions of the day, con
| GLIDING his remarks with much de-
served rebuke to those Democratic
speakers who have ON and off the plat
form been spreading misleading and
mischievous information concerning the
Kaleiopu bill. Mr.. Castro said:
"The intelligent voter, who desires
to cast an intelligent vote in the cleo
tion in this Territory on November 3,
should any doubt remain in his mind
as to which of the dominant parties he
will support, the Republican or Demo-
cratic, should turn to the platform
utterances of the parties, consider the
platform utterances of those standing
upon those party platforms, and care
fully consider the issues involved, the
solutions offered by the party leaders
in convention and the effect of these
solutions, if crystallized into legisla-
tion, upon the future of the Territory
'The Republican platform contains
much that is found lacking in that of
the Democrats, inasmuch as the Re-
publicans have accomplishments to
their credit to which we refer as earn
est of the sincerity to be attached to
their promises for the future The Re-
publican party is the party that does
things, the party from which the Ter
ritory has received all that it has in
the way of self-government The DEM
ocratic party has shifted ground so
constantly on every question of inn
J portance that it has never received the
confidence of the majority of the cleo
tors. That party has no record of
achievements to refer to, while past
promises and past platforms are not
, referred to in their latest announce.
ments, for obvious reasons. What the
Republican party has done for the
Territory is evident to anyone who will
look around. Republican Boards Of
, Supervisors have built during the past
, four years many miles of new roads in
Oahu, have acquired public parks for
the people, have given good city gov
eminent, and guarded tho interests of
. the taxpayers. On Kauai and Maui
the principles of county government
have been carried into effect with
splendid results. The one exception
to the good that has resulted from
, county government has been on the
Island of Hawaii, where the reins of
power have fallen into Democratic
and Home Rule hands and the money
from the public has been squandered.
Hawaii is one lesson in government,
, and furnishes an example of what hap
, pens when power is placed in irrespon-
sible hands.
. School System Improved.
"Under a Republican Legislature
the public schools of the Territory

:, lie schools of any State or Territory in
!. the Union, schools Of which the peo-
pie of these Islands can with good rea-
: son be proud; institutions that in their
excellence surprises the visitors to
