meeting at 1880 the Portuguese band
marched up to the square playing. 1t

platform music. The band stand, as
many times before, was the rostrum.
1t looked election strongly last night
from having the voting stalls for next
Tuesday in place at the back
John w. Cathcart was the first
speaker. He denounced the Advertiser
and assailed it's editor by name, fin
ally making a distinct issue between
the morning paper and himself. In
conclusion he advocated the Republi
can ticket in all its parts, both for its
superiority by comparison with the
two opposition tickets and because the
Republican party was the party of the
people and the party with which the
interests of Hawaii were identified.
John G. Lane, in soliciting votes for
himself, promised that if elected Ma
yor he would consult leading tinan-
ciers and bankers on municipal loans
and financing of the municipality.
H. M. Won Holt advocated his claims
to custody of the municipal safe COM
bination in English and Hawaiian,
with a dash of Portuguese at the fin
ish. He kept the assemblage in good
humor throughout and made a decided
hit.
Delegate Kalanianaole gave a fine
address in English, with remarks add
ed in his native tongue. He told OF
his mode of operation in Washington,
which was not in making hotair
speeches to spread in the Congression-
al Record but in the enlisting
the leadership of legislation as his
friends and the friends or Hawaii.
With regard to the assertion that is
made a trump card on the Democratic
stump, that to Senate Perkins of Call
fornia and not himself was due the
credit for the large Hawaiian appro-
priations he pointed out that financial
legislation originates in the House. At
the same time he uttered grateful ap-
probation of the assistance of Senator
Perkins, among the other friends he
had made, in the Senate. Taking up
the Punchbowl homesteads matter he
related what he had done to ensure
that the Portuguese tenants should
have preferential terms when the
lands came to be sold. In conclusion
he aduscated the election OF
the entire Republican legislative tic
ket, telling the voters to knife the De-
legate if they would but elect Re-
publican legislature.
A. G. NJ Robertson, Republican Ma
tional Committeeman, spoke at con-
siderable length to show that Taft was
a sure winner in the Presidential race.
He strongly presented the wisdom OF
electing a Republican legislature ana
government so as to have
Territorial and municipal affairs con-
Quoted in harmony with the Federal
and Territorial administrations.
A. l.. C. Atkinson, chairman of the
Republican Territorial Committee,
dealt at length with McCandless as a
land grabber-a man who liked the
natives so we'll that he worshipped the
land they lived on, and one whom the
Supreme Court declared tried to de-
prive a poor woman Of her home by
sharp and INSCRIPTIONS methods.
Joel c. Cohen delivered a set speech
on promotion work.
John Kamanoulu and A. D. Castro
delivered short addresses which were
we'll received.
Others scheduled to speak were fro
zen out by the prolixity of some OF
the addresses, Chairman Hoogs dis
missing the meeting about IL O'Clock.
