BEST RALLY
Of CAMP PAIGN
Warm Republican Doctrine Is
Preached on Punchb0Wl
Slope.

There was plenty of enthusiasm at
the Republican rally held on Punchhowl
last night, rally at which a large
number of the representative men Of
the community was present. The
meeting, on account of not being held
at the advertised and general meeting
place, which was occupied by the Demo-
Gratis, was probably smaller than it
would have been otherwise, but it was
large enough to make it one of the best
meetings of the campaign on either side.
A feature of the meeting was the at
tendance among the crowd of the two
candidates for the Mayoralty nomina-
ton who failed to land on the ticket,
one of them, Jack Lucas, making a
fiery and Characteristic speech from the
hustings. All the speakers made good
addresses and other speakers, not on the
ticket, helped appreeiably in working
up the enthusiasm that manifested it
self.
Harry Won Holt, who got splendid
reception, opened the meeting as the
first speaker, being followed by Jim
Quinn, Ed. Henriques and W. T. Raw
Inns, the latter advising the voters not
to throw away the Republican loaf on
the promise of a bigger but not tangi-
BILE one from the Democrats. He re-
ferred to the address of Governor Frear
the previous night and commended the
he had cut through the froth of the
Democratic land policy and exposed its
fimsiness, calling upon the voters to
send a Republican Senate and House to
assist Governor Frear in the good work
he was doing for the Territory
David Kekaha, a local orator, who
began by "Gentlemen and Ladies' -
pointed out to the Hawaiians present
where the Home Rulers and the Demo
Gratis were trying to lead the Hawai-
ians astray. He also wanted to know
why Link McCandless did not bring up
his land questions when he sat in the
Senate as a Republican
Sunday Quinn made an excellent,
clear cut address for himself and the
party, stating that he stood on his rec
ord as a citizen and as a member of
he Legislature, commending the whole
ticket as one that was as good as could
be expected under the circumstances.
There are many important questions to
come up IN the next Legislature, - he
said. ELook carefully back over the
record of the Republicans in the last
and see if it does not be-
hoove the voters to send back another
Senate and House. -
Hoogs' Straight-Ticket Talk.
w. Fl. Fcogs, introduced as "BilIv.''
made fervid straight-ticket talk. ask
ing the support for the party of prog
ress, the party which would bring pros
perity to the country "That party, |
he Republicans, if elected, is going to |
have appropriations passed to give us |
work. When we have work we have
money, and when we have money we
can pay our grocery bills. NY advice |
to you is to leave well enough alone. |
All the candidates are good and they |
have pledged their words of honor to |
do their duty. The new broom is all |
right, but you want to leave it in the /
hands of one who knows how to use
it. -
Lucas Flags the Turncoats.
Jack Lucas, who got an ovation when
MS name was announced, made char
acteristic speech, one full of ginger
md punetuated by exclamation points. |
The Republican party is the party of
he people and the people should stay
oy it. If you are going to be a Re- Il
publican, be one; if you are Demo
,rat, be a Democrat; if you are
Home Ruler, be a good Home Ruler,
,ut don t be some kind of fools and
70 splitting the ticket all to pieces. I
'ompare the six Republican candidates
or the House from the Fourth with
he others fighting for the place; if ,
'ou want harmony and honesty and
vote for them all-don It |
nut in three of them and three others; Il
hat ism t sensible. Use common sense, {
on t be the same kind of fools Put
zen in office who know what they're {
DING Don t put in bunch of numb &
kulls. This talk of putting men in 2
flee who will have to hire deputies to t
o their work for them, don t go with Q
