pie were glad that the Republican par
ty had given the audience something
to think about. The speeches last
night were meaty and they were lis
tened to with attention.
The Advertisers account of the
meeting this morning is an effort to
give the impression that the speakers
avoided talking for the straight tic
ket. However, most If not all of them,
asked the audience for the support or
the whole ticket" or the straight
ticket" whichever way they put it.
A large Advertiser headline declares
that the name of Cathcart was not
mentioned. There were many ether
names of candidates on the ticket not
mentioned, most of the speakers ref
erences being to the ticket in general.
The meeting was not a demonstra-
tive one. 1t was quiet for the most
part, though the audience responded
now and then to telling points, and
Desha soon had the crowd laughing
and cheering.
Delegate Kalanianaole left in the
steamer Mauna Kea today and will
conduct a campaign of two weeks on
the Island of Hawaii before return
ing. Territorial Chairman Atkinson
was at the wharf to see Prince Kuhio
off. The original plan was for Mr..
Atkinson to accompany the Delegate
and look over the partys affairs on the
big island, but unfortunately an at
tack of illness interfered with the ar
rangement.
Prince Kuhio is accompanied by
Judge Archie Mahaulu to Hawaii and
they will follow the trail of McCand-
less and deliver lot of speeches. They
will go, first to Puma, and then spent
some days in and around Hilo.
Mr.. Desha viii not return to Hilo
for some time, being detained here
for private reasons, and the Oahu or
ganization' is therefore happy in the
prospect of having the assistance OF
his eloquence at the principal rallies.
Much satisfaction is heard express
ed today over the excellent matter and
tone OF the speeches at the ratification
meeting last night, together with the
evidently favorable reception the plat
form and ticket were accorded by the
large assembly of voters and their re-
latives of the gentler sex.
Probably the remainder of this week
will be devoted to introducing the new
candidates to the outer districts
A mass meeting especially for the
Fourth District will be held on Octo-
ber "a, for which a tentative program
is now being made up. 1t will likely
be held at the Orpheum.

FIRST WORD FROM PACIFIC FLEET
AND JOKE

Piper's the man attracting the at
tention of criminologists and the police
station these few days. His case
comes up tomorrow and he win prob
ably get off with drop in the bucket
to what he deserves. He has been
identified by dozens OF schoolgirls as
the dangerous freak who has accosted
them in manner which would have
meant his sudden death or several
months in the hospital for him had
any grown male relatives or friends of
the little girls been handy.
One H. Leslie, accused of robbery of
a Chinese in Waialae, recently, was
this morning nolle prosecuted. 1t seems
he was charged with robbery when ne
should have been charged with as
sault and battery He may again he
arrested, otherwise he gets off for want
of accusation.
There will be an entertaining scene
in police court tomorrow when the
gigantic crime of keeping curlo stores
open on Sunday and thereby under
mining the welfare of the nation and
incidentally making some other curio
seller jealous, is heard. John Efinger,
James Steiner and Mrs. E. Taylor are
the alleged revolutionists.

PLANTING
CONTRACT

Suit has been entered against the
Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Company
for the sum OF $4,000 by a Japanese
named G. limo. 1t is set forth that the
plaintiff and partner, who has since
assigned his interest to limo, contract
ed with the Hutchinson plantation for
the lease of seventeen and half acres
of cane land, with the proviso that the
plantation should cut, transport and
grind the cane. It is stated that tho
cane was ready to cut in February,
1906, but that the defendants did not
keep up their bargain and do this work
until November, 1907.
AT this date it is stated that the
cane had deteriorated, through the ra-
wages of rats, and other causes, so that
it was practically spoiled. For this
neglect of contract the plaintiff asks
for $4,000 damages. 1t is also stated
that the defendant refused to make
any accounting whatever, but sold the
sugar realized and kept all the returns.
For this another $1,000 is asked. 1t is
further stated that on the first day
OF December, 1907, the defendants
owed the plaintiff the sum OF $1,000 for
which judgment is also asked. Attor-
ney 9. W. Ashford appears FOR the

the seven vessels of the armored cruis-

JACKS PARTNER
IS TO SPEAK FOR
DEMOCRATS

The Democrats are to hold meet
ing next Saturday night at Aala parA.
The principal speaker OF the evening
will probably be Judge Quarles, law
partner of A. l.. c. Atkinson, the chair
man of the Republican Territorial
Central Committee. Quarles and At
kinson may be law partners but they
don't hitch in politics, and Quarles
has accepted an invitation from the
Democratic committee to deliver an
address. The various Democratic can
didates will also make speeches.

1t has begun on the street corners
now as well as on the regulation
stumps. Speechmaking is the order
of the day and night, and the Hawaii
an has entered into his own.
1t began at a quarter past twelve
this afternoon, when Kauwe, a police
employe who has had to leave his job
because he wanted to go into different
politics from those of his superior who
is running for Office, mounted soap
box at the corner of Bethel and King
street, and with lungs that carried his
accents to Fort, Hotel, Nuuanu and
Merchant streets, declaimed the prin-
ciples of Willum ]. Bryan.
After that the speeches followed
fast. A crowd began to gather, and
the campaign may now be considered
fairly on. Hereafter until a count OF
noses settles the issues,-besides set
tling at least two thirds of the candi-
dates,-the noon hour will be used
every day for soap-box speeches.
The speakers had a fair crowd, and
earnest listeners. They talked all
sorts of phases OF the local situation.
Their addresses, as matter OF fact,
are an important feature of the cam
paign, for the soap-box orator has a
very deeply interested audience. He
can usually be heard as far as scien-
tif1c accuracy would allow anyone to
claim that human lungs can carry, and
he talks to listeners who are open to
conviction are far from being
hide bound partisans.
Last nights Republican meeting is
being discussed today as a striking
and very successful opening of the
campaign. The party leaders are con-
graduating themselves on having CIV
en- the voters at the meeting some
thing to think about,-aside from
abuse and villification which seem to
oppose the Republican ticket. 1t is
recognized that in the immense crowd
were many who are not Republicans
many Hawaiians who came. to hear
and be convinced. This morning Chair
man Judd of the Republican County
Central Committee had number OF
