ATURDAY NIGHT RALLIES
BROUGHT OUT THREE CROWDS

The Republican rally at Aala Park
Saturday night was opened by W. o..
Smith, who urged upon all the obliga-
zion of unity in the bonds of American
nationality. There should be no race
feeling; no race antagonism. The whole
people of the Territory are American
and should work together for the COM
mon good in the spirit Of Americanism.
The differences of the past should be
forgotten. Only its best features
should be remembered, and remember
ed as belonging to the whole people.
Cathcart Not There.
Charles Kanekoa, president of the
Longshoremen' Benevolent Associa-
ton, was chairman, and proved an ae-
reptable one. Almost all the candi-
dates of the party, city and coun-
ty, and legislative tickets, were
present and made addresses. The
only notable exception was Cath
cart, who was not even present. HIS
name was never mentioned in any of
the speeches, nor was there any refer
ence to him, or any expressions in
which he could be included as being
recommended to the voters present, ex'
cept the stereotyped appeal to the vot-
A.. ,,-bnla ttekat from ION

candidates for Office.

pie went away, and by the time JON
@. Lane came on to speak there wer
not more than 500 present,

one and well received. Being intro
duced, he said

= first time candidate for public Office
and solicit your support for the offic
of City and County Supervisor.
~ do not propose tonight to touch tn
political side of the campaign at al
but it will be my purpose to say fey
words, not on the doctrine of the RI
publican party, but upon the doctrin
of fair play.
"There is much talk at this time thu
the Hawaiians are going to scratch IL
haoles and that the haoles are going
scratch the Hawaiians. Now, / wal
every haole in this gathering to b
come aroused to the fact that the ii
waiian vote is about three to oil
against the haole, and that they coul
if they desired, bury every haole
the Republican ticket beyond the no

haoles were elected to the House
Representatives, and haoles were ele

"Now, don you forget that
compliment paid to the haoles by t
Hawaiians should be returned, and ii
it is the duty of every haole to play

linen shirt in an uptown Office"
