were going to Pahala. They will be
at Waimea tomorrow.
Makekau and Naipo will resign
from the Board of Registration, as
they are candidates, whenever they
finish up the work.
WAIALUA, October 9.-Waialua is
solidly Republican excepting for fifteen
or twenty votes.
Candidates who did not take a run
up to Honolulu came here this morn
ing. Some assisted the local commit
tee in preparing for the meeting to-
night, the others resting at the Ha-
leiwa Hotel and homes of friends.
The Waialua workers abe very ener-
getic but would appreciate little more
help from headquarters. Chairman
Oscar Cox, Secretary John Kauwela,
Treasurer Edward Hore and the others
are Notwithstanding not going 10 let up
in eXertions until the last possible vote
for the Republican party has been poll
ed.
An immense gathering of people was
the result of the brief call for a meet
ing tonight. 1t was held on the pre-
misses opposite the residence of De-
putty Sheriff Oscar p. Cox across the
main avenue of the town.
Prior to the meeting the candidates
with Rev. s. L. Desha and Interpreter
Kelekolio, were entertained at an ele-
CANT and sumptuous luau at Mr. Cox S
house. A glee club played and sang
during the feast.
The Waialua band was present at
the meeting. 1t alternated with the
glee club in playing between speeches.
There was good outfit of benches in
the front of the audience space and
the grounds were lighted up with Ian
terms and torches.
Mr.. Hore called the meeting to order,
introducing Mr. Cox as chairman.
John A. Hughes was the first speaker
making a powerful appeal for support
to the Republican party as the one that,
on the mainland and here, maintained
good government and secured prosper
ity. He closed by effectively showing
that there was no need to go beyond
the Republican ticket for legislative
or county officers.
William AHA spoke in Hawaiian and
made an evident hit judging by the
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-10-10

applause and laughter he evoked.
Daniel Logan dealt with good roads
in general and the round the island
road in particular He would not re-
peat the promise made elsewhere to
pay especial attention to local needs,
because Waialua had in Andrew e. Cox
an able, honest and experienced repre-
sentative on the county board who was
certain to be reelected by an over
whelming majority.
Harry Won Holt kept the audience in
roars while he discussed in native his
opponents for the Treasurership. He
made separate speech to the English
speaking element, telling them that he
accepted the nomination because he
regarded his duty to the Republican
party as paramount to his private in
terests. Because Mr.. Trent, a Demo-
crat, was a good man was no reason
why Republican should vote to keep
him in office if the Republicans had a
candidate who filled the bill.
John H. Wise delivered an address
in Hawaiian. Chairman Cox intro
duced him as one whose nomination for
sheriff in the convention was entirely
unopposed. He submitted his claims
to the office in comparison with those
of the Democratic and indep endent
candidates. His reception was all that
could have been desired.
He also addressed the English speak
ing people. Quoting Secretary Gar
fields assurance while here that the
policy of Roosevelt and Taft was to
give statehood to Hawaii, he said the
way to promote the fulfillment of that
promise was to show Washington on
November that the Territory of Ha-
wall had voted the straight Republican
ticket. If they wanted statehood they
should support the Republican party,
but if it was government by commits
sion they desired then vote the other
tickets.

Mr.. Wise said he had heard the rea-
son for the opposition to him was that
he once used expressions which show
ed him to be ungrateful to those who
had aided him in his education. His
answer to this was that whoever
charged him with such expressions
were unmitigated liars. He was in

The Unexpected Didn't Happen

Local Republicans are preparing

unexpected is about to happen politi-

political aspirations, is a splendid

it was recently understood that he
had been converted to the Republi-

speech in the public square at Harri,

the crowd gathered to listen to the
new convert, they found to their
dismay, that Sid refused to stay
converted, had back-slid again back

A New Railroad from
Harrison to Bergman.
The White River and Missouri & North
Arkansas Railroads to be Connected.
Harrison Asked for Bonus Of SI50O0

After an extended correspondence
with our townsman, Col. Thos,
Helm, to whose enterprise much will
be due if the railroad is built. W. A.
Squlres, representative OF the Choc'
taw Coal and Development Com
pany, with headquarters at Sulphur,
Oklahoma, arrived in Harrison Mon
dav. with full authority to close all
negotiations for the construction oil
standard guage railroad, primar'
ilv from Bergman to Harrison, a
distance of ten miles,
The general plan of this line is to
build a road connecting on the
north with Bergman, and on the
south with Clarksville, and perhaps
Camden, but for the time being it
will deal only on the basis of short
line running from Harrison to Berg,
man.
After satisfying our most careful
business men as to the substantial
character of the company he repre-
sents, Mr. Squires submitted the
proposition that upon the payment
of a cash bonus of $4,000. right
OF way and depot grounds, the com.
pany guarantees the construction oil
the road without DELAY; one-half oil
the bonus to he paid when the grad
ing of the road has been completed,
and the other half thirty days after
trains are running regularly into
Harrison.
The Choctaw Coal and Develop
ment Company, which proposes to
take hold of the enterprise simply as
a construction company, is an or
ganization with capital of $3.50, 1000
and has successfully completed sew
eral short lines in Oklahoma. Its
engineer, II. e. Leake, of Fort
Worth, Texas, has been for the

past six years with the Rock Island
railroad as Division Engineer, and
is ready to commence the work oil
surveying Just as soon as the Com
pany decides to take up the enter
prise.
The fact that tins company pros
poses to proceed with its own CAPT
tai and thoroughly prepare tie
road-bed before asking any part Of
the bonus, is reassuring as to its
good faith in the matter.
A careful estimate made by Mr.
Squires since he has been in Harril
son, leads him to say that that the
saving in freight alone will reimburse
our people to the amount of the
$4,000 bonus within six months
after the trains are running into the
town.
Aside from this, and the many
general advantages, much may be
properly hoped for the future in the
extension to the Arkansas coal fields
and water navigation via the Ark
ansas river. With this road added
to our transportation facilities, ev.
cry inducement would be present
tor extensive manufacturing as well
as mining operations, and Harrison
would stand out conspicuously as
the favored city of all north Arkan-
sas, not only as to wealth of natur
al resources, but by reason of it's
thorough connection with the out
side world, giving ample markets
within reach in every direction.
Mr.. Squires also holds out every
encouragement that in all of their
operations. Harrison will he the
the star ting point and headquarters;
here will be the shops, the offices,
and the home Of the enterprise, no
matter how extensive its final oper-
ations may become.

paying an aggregate of 1882 80 for
the four. The largest one brought
