that this had long been his residence;
all his interests were here. Everything
that he owned in the world was in
Oahu County. His wife was a daugh

been born here. He expected to live
and die here, and therefore if elected
he would work for the best interests
of the people.

to impress on you the necessity of
picking out the men to represent you
in the Legislature who in your judg.
ment are best qualified to represent
you and to legislate wisely and in
your interests. [ understand that at

and if / am elected [ promise that /
shall do everything in my power to
serve your interests. I promise an
honest discharge of my duties and the
best that is in me.
81 don't believe in man asking
for your votes simply because he is a
white man, or Hawaiian, or hapa-
haole. In politics you don't ask a
man what his religion is, but what his
politics are. You want to know if he
is an honest and capable man. It

it don make any difference what the

Daniel Logan, candidate for Super
visor, said he was glad to speak at this
meeting, held as it was in what, before
the division of precincts, was his own
precinct. The people of this precinct
were still his neighbors. He passed
through the precinct every day as he
went to his daily work to earn his
daily bread. And while, if elected, he
would be chosen to represent no dis
trict, but the whole county, the other
side of the Pail as well as this, still

here to know that if they had any
matters to bring before the Board of
Supervisors there would be one in the
board who was their neighbor and
knew at first hand their needs.
If elected, I promise an honest and
economical administration so far as [
am able to secure it. Good govern
ment, like the bounty of Heaven, is
impartial. The sun shines and the rain
falls on the Just and the unjust alike
And good government must be as far
from making distinctions between in
dividuals and classes. Our ticket is a
good one and represents the various
districts, interests and classes in the
community. At the head of the ticket
is John c. Lane, fine example of
the young Hawaiian. On the ticket for
Supervisor are Aylett, AHA, Kane and
Cox, four men of Hawaiian blood, all
men of education and ability. Aylett
has had experience in the Legislature.
and Cox has been member of the
Board of Supervisors ever since the
beginning of county government. Be
sides these there are Quinn, Watkins
and myself, all of us long resident
here, men who have made their perma-
nent homes here and who are as much
citizens of Hawaii as we are citizens
of America. We are pledged to an
honest and economical administration
of public affairs. [ ask you to vote
for every candidate on our ticket.
Harmony is an essential of good gov
eminent, and the way to secure har-
mony is to put in the whole Republi-
can ticket by a handsome majority. "
John G. Lane made pleasing speech
wholly in Hawaiian, and it was not
translated to the gathering. Lane was
in good voice, and his orotund utter
and and speech unbroken by interpre
tation, made his address one of the
most interesting of the evening from
the standpoint of oratory, even to those
who could not understand the language
in which it was uttered.
Lane began by recounting some of
the pledges which the Republican
party had made to the people from time
to time and showing that these pledges
had been kept
''In the last Legislature, he, con
tinued, q introduced the bill that be-
came the municipal act. Because of
that I have been called the Father of
the Municipal Act That gives me
the right, think, to aspire to be mayor
Of the municipality thus created. And
if elected / will carry out the inten-
ton of the bill. I ask you to give ME
your confidence and your votes.
u have heard that there are some
who think that the Prince has not done
all in Congress that he should for his
people here. But when the delegation
of Congressman were here little over
a year ago. Congressman LittIefeld. one
of the most influential members of the
party, in a speech at Hilo, said that
