publican party in the administration Of |
the Territory and county and showing !
how IL had consistently kept its pledges
to the people. For himself, he said |
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 daugh !
ter of the county and his children had
been born here. He expected to live
and die here, and therefore if elected
he would work for the best interests
Of the people.
''I am candidate for the LegisIa.
ture," began j. G. Cohen. "I want
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. l understand that at
a meeting near here last night an OPP
| ponent took it upon himself to attack
me-. j don't propose to attack anyone
on any other ticket. If ] say that an
other man is no good, that does not
make me any better. If you think
am a man of capacity and experience
to represent you, / ask for your votes,
and if | am elected 1 promise that L
/ shall do everything in my power to
serve your interests. l promise an
honest discharge of my duties and the
best that is in me-
HI don't believe in n man asking
for your votes simply because he is n
white man, or a Hawaiian, or a hapa-
haole. In politics you don't ask
man what his religion is but what his
politics are. You want to know if he
is an honest and a capable man. 1t
ism u the color of the skin that counts,
il IS the man. If he the right man
it don't make any difference what the
color of his skin is.
"In this campaign we are all broth
ers. The Constitution of the United
States declares we are all equal before
the law Pick out the ticket that has
the best men on it. Examine the men.
You want men who have the expert
, ence to know what to do when they
get to the Legislature. ask for your
votes for myself and for those on the
ticket with me.'
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
trct, but the whole county, the other
side of the Pail as well as this, still
|, it might be a satisfaction to those
here to know that if they had any
4 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.
