(ErOm TnurSday'S AuVeTllSei'J
az suppose that some of you will ex'
pect me to say something about the
straight ticket and the yellow dog,
said Governor Frear, at the conclusion
of his address at the 0rpheum last
night. 81 do not want to disappoint
Won. but 1 see little occasion to refer
to either at the present time. L have
expressed myself on those subjects al
ready
81 have stated that country comes
first and party second. Party is not
an end but means to an end The
country should not be sacrificed for
party, nor country and party sacrificed
for personal interest. But what does
this mean? Does it mean that we
should go through the lists of the can
didates and vote only for our personal
friends on it7 Hardly. Party politics
is like baseball or boat racing, the
working together for victory. But 1T
must be victory with honor. 1t might
happen that there could be man on
ticket put there through an oversight
or through trickery, for whom no re-
spectacle man could vote. OF course,
there could be some such man on
the ticket that to elect him would be
worse than having to forego the CO.
operation of the whole ticket, and OF
course, there is possibility of going
too far the other way. But parties are
necessities and are desirable in repre-
sentative government. We have got to
work together and have team play to
accomplish results.
"We have candidate for Delegate
to Congress, three candidates for cleo
ton to the Senate and twelve candi-
dates on the ticket for the House. So
far as | know no one has been able to
distinguish yellow tinge about them
( and l appeal to you, without desiring
in any way to descry the candidates OF
the other parties, / appeal to you as
a Republican if you wish businesslike
and effective OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
because businesslike and harmonious
to vote for the Republican candidate
for Delegate and for the Republican
candidates for the Senate and for the
House."
Governor Frear made an effective
appeal for the election of members OF
the Legislature in sympathy and able
to work in harmony with the Repub.
lican Executive of the Territory in the
able address delivered by him last night,
an appeal backed up By several strong
speeches from some of the candidates
and by w. T. Rawlins, a member of the
last Legislature. The Orpheum was on
ly about half filed with those attend
ing, but the enthusiasm created for the
straight ticket so far as the Delegate,
Senatorial and Representative part OF
it is concerned was appreciate in the
cheers given at the end of the meeting.
ing.
On the platform were the candidates
for the House, Messrs. Kamanoulu,
Cohen, Douthitt, Maielua, Kaleiopu,
Single, Castro Kama, Kinney and Mi

Hughes.
Straight Ticket Chairman.
w. II. Hoogs presided and he was
the only speaker who did not qualify
his straight ticket talk. In calling the
meeting to order, he said:
"The object of this meeting is to get
the Republicans together and to hear
expressed the views and the opinions of
our candidates for the Legislature.
There seems to be difference of opin-
ion among the people and /, for one,
hope to see the people convinced that
they are wrong in wanting to vote a
split ticket. / am straight ticket
voter and ] hope that you will all vote
the straight ticket. The Republican
party to which we belong was formed
before we were born and will be a
party after. we are all gone. 1t is the
party of progress we belong to and
hope therefore that you will all go to
the polls on November and vote the
straight Republican ticket"
Frear Greeted With Applause.
Gov. Frear, who was received witt
applause as he came on the platform
and frequently throughout his speech
said:
"Mr Chairman and Fellow Citizens
If remember rightly, few weeks
ago the papers announced that the Re
publican and Home Rule parties intend
ed to carry on their campaigns thi
year without booze, beer or buncombe
do not know if such a statement ha
been made by the Democrats, but hav'
sufficiently high opinion of man,
among the Democrats to believe tina
they would at least dispense with booz
