scrub from the Custom House" Mr..
Lucas referred several times to the
scrub and his Chinese crew, whereupon
someone in the crowd inquired as to the
employment of some japanese by the
speaker. Then the fireworks started,
resulting in a call for the hurry-up
wagon and the arrest of the inquirer,
while Lucas breathed heavily in his seat
on the platform for some minutes. Then
Single finished his speech.
Lewis Opened Meeting.
A. Lewis Jr, was the first speaker
called upon, his address being on the
necessity of harmony between the vari-
Gus branches of the government and
the necessity of having a Senate, Legis-
lature and Supervisorial Board to work
in sympathy with the Republican Exc
cutive appointed and working with a
Republican President.
Cohen for a Business Policy.
Joe Cohen, the next speaker, treated
the present political situation from q
business standpoint, pointing out the
advantages of having clear thinking
and businesslike men in office rather
than the entrusting of public affairs to
those who had no business of their own
or business experience to manage that
of the public.
Mr. Cohen is fast developing into one
of the best stump speakers of the coun-
ty and made good impression with his
clear cut statements and sound practical
views as expressed last night.
Judge Kingsbury on Partyism.
Judge Kingsbury made the principal
speech of the evening stating his belief
in party politics and giving number
of reasons why, in his opinion, the prin.
ciples of the Republican party made it
the best of the two great parties and
the one to which the majority of the
thinking voters should belong He
paraphrased famous toast by saying
"the Republican party, may it always
be right, but the Republican party, right
or wrong He did not believe that
any Republican should kick over the
traces when some one thing in his party
management did not go right, nor at.
tempt to ruin the party if he could not
rule it, although the speaker explained
afterwards that these sentiments were
not to be taken as applying to the
straight ticket locally.
He compared the policy of the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress to the poll
icy on which Tittlebat Titnouse had
been elected, the policy being to prom,
Use each of everybody all of everything,
although the Democratic promises did
not go quite to that limit All they
promised was more land than there was
He thought McCandless generosity was
like the suffering of little boy, which
only evidenced itself when he talked
AT all other time it was not dangerous.
The speaker urged everyone to take
a patriotic interest in politics, to join
one of the two great parties and to
see that the party he joined was the
one of best principles and the party
of progress.
Tired of the Campaign.
Judge George \. Davis was next
called upon. He began an excellent
address by expressing pleasure at the
fact that the campaign would soon be
over, because the campaign had been
the bitterest one ever waged here, one
not credit to the people of Hawaii,
and one, the repetition of which he
hoped never to see.
The speaker stated that there were
personal reasons why he should not go
fully into a discussion of the local
issues of the county fight, but he
spoke earnestly of the necessity of the
election of the Republican Delegate to
Congress, whose election would be the
sign that Hawaii did not desire to
show ingratitude to the party that
had done so much for her. He urged
the election of Republican Legisla-
ture, a Legislature of strong men who
would uphold the hands of Governor
Frear in the good work he was doing
for the Territory.
He treasured the people on the ques-
ton of government by commission,
stating that such would never come
He urged the obliteration of any race
line or color dine, stating that for nine
years now the haoles and Hawaiians
had worked together for the Territory
and should continue to work together
for statehood.

a. d. Castro predicted sweeping
party victory on Tuesday next, stat
ing that there was no reason for
