MOORE TALKS FISH
TO WAIKIKI PEOPLE
Small Crowd Listens To
The Democrats At
Waikiki

q
Democrats held at Joe Aeas place |
was greeted by only "a slim attend
ance. The candidates, however, per-
formed to the best of their ability, |
and, on the whole, the meeting was
quite a happy little family gather
ing. The main hit of the evening
was made by II. T. Moore, who has
hit on new line of fish talk, which,
as might be expected, makes a hit
with the Hawaiians.
The meeting was opened by s. X.
Kaha, the chairman Of the First Pre-
cinct, and NJ. L. Silva, candidate
for Supervisor, offered prayer. This
done, he pitched into politics. He
advised his hearers, II they wanted
to win the day. to vote the straight
Democratic ticket without scratching.
The Honolulu Republican papers
were all saying that Taft would beat
Bryan, he said, but, as matter of
fact, the mainland papers were pre-
dieting victory for Bryan, which
showed that he would surely win. The
Advertiser had during the past few
days been calling for the Republican
party to be up and doing, plainly
showing that there was trouble in
that camp.
Robert Pahau, candidate for Rep
Preventative, said that he had heard
that the Governor wished to have the
Senate and the House filled by Re
lpublicans, but that II they were
elected they would be pulled hither
and thither by the Republican party.
Pahau intended to be independent.
Good bills he would vote for and bad
ones he would kill.
Horace Crabbe, a Supervisorial
candidate, called attention TO the fact
that the Mayor had the same power
in County affairs as the Governor had
in Territorial affairs, therefore all
who voted for Joe Fern must vote for
Democratic Supervisors. so that he
could have proper support.
II. T. Moore. a Senatorial POSSIBLE
lily, pitched into new fishery
scheme, after having called attention
to the work he had done In the fret
Board of Supervisors for the good OF
the laboring man.
"There is a clause In our plat
FORM" he said, which requires us to
urge Congress to acquire the vested
fishing rights which are now owned
by the great land owners for the ben
eft of the people. These rights are
now leased to Japanese. say Jap
anese, so you may understand that I
mean aliens, and they sell you the
fish, because you cannot go out your
selves and fish. | will tell you that
these fishing rights can be secured
for your use. The United States now
keeps patrol in the Boring Sea to
protect the seal fisheries, because
they belong to the rich people. Now
the United States will acquire the
local fishing rights, and, II properly
appealed to by our House and SEN
ate, will protect them. They will ap.
point a fish commissioner and will
see to 1t that, for instance, at Pear
Harbor, where the japanese have
now cleaned out the fish with theil
teeming with fish, SO that hundreds
of Hawaiian families can live there
by fishing and will not have to do the
hard work on the roads. Now IL the
Republicans had started to do thi'

period of public land leases extended
from five to fifteen years. and get

would have done something for thu
people on whom they have to depend
for votes.
John Anderson, the Democratic
tower of Babel. who is running fol
Auditor, spoke In both Hawaiian ant
Chinese, the crowd insisting on thu
latter part of the performance, which
has become a standing order at al
the Democratic meetings.
Joe Kulia, who aspires to the Sen
ate. called the attention OF his hear
ers to the fact that II they wanted
, the planks of the Democratic pla
form carried out they must elect |
Democratic majority In the Hous'
and the Senate.
!" Duke Kahanamoku, who is run
ming for the House, was the mos
Isanguine man on record; at least, h
said that he expected to see the en-
tire Democratic ticket elected. II
based his belief on the great harmon,
which prevailed in the Democrati
'' party. The Waikiki people, Duk
reminded the crowd, had carried OF
many trophies in athletic events
; such as tugs-of-war, canoe and swim
