POLITICS
COMMENCING NOW
TO GET RED HOT
cFrOm saturdays Advertiser,

CFrom SATURDAY.
Yesterday was warm day for polit-
ical workers in the city despite the fact
that practically all the candidates on
both the regular party tickets were out
of town. The soap.box orators were
in fine feather, the runners hustled
around on the jobs and there were thou
sands of pamphlets in Hawaiian scat
tered among the voters on the Street
and distributed in house to house fash.
ion.
Mary Atcherley was the star attIac-
tion on the soap-box. The leper doc
tors better half climbed up on the
pedestal at one o'clock and talked in
steady stream of arguments for over
an hour. She told political tale Of
which John c. Lane was the villain and
all the heroes wore Democratic clothes.
She accused Lane of treason to his
people over the way he acted as chair
man of the Committee of Ten in the
Wallach affair. She also roasted the
Board of Health and the Advertiser
Her speech attracted large crowd
and there was much cheering and at
times excitement enough among the Ha-
waiian voters present to bring up the
fighting blood, requiring the active in
terference of policeman to keep the
peace.
Mrs. Atcherley urged the election of
Joe Fern as Mayor, advising the voters
to mark their ballots either for Fern
or Achi, because, she added ga vote for
Achi is a vote for Fern and one taken
away from Lane" A diversion in her
monologue was caused when string of
Joe Cohen's sandwich boys filed past
with Republican signs on their shoul-
ders. "Just look at those boys" she
snapped. "That foolishness is taking
them away from their education. They
ought to be in school. I will make a
complaint to the Education Board"
ga Vote for Erown.''
One of the extraordinary documents
of the campaign was that circulated
yesterday in the Cathcart interest
presumably by the candidate and his
little crowd. Certainly not by the Re
publican Committee, which has members
who would not sanction the statements
made nor the desperate appeal in the
name of A. NJ. Brown, man whose
threatened candidature some time ago
brought out the flat-footed statement
that the business men of the commu
nifty would not contribute cent t.
the campaign fund if Brown was OF
the ticket.
The pamphlet is in Hawaiian and cir
culated only among the Hawaiian
along with the personal appeal of Cath
cart for support and Hawaiian trans
lation of his Orpheum address A trans
lation is:
