(From Thursdays Advertissr)
For more than four hours last even
ing, eighteen Democratic orators held q
crowd of several hundred men, women
and children on the open lot at the
corner Of School and Liliha streets,
and after the last speaker had closed
his remarks at eleven-ffteen an un.
invited spellbinder took the platform
and may be talking yet.
David P. Keawehaku presided over
the meeting, and the way he kept bring
ing up the speakers was astonishing.
When the speaker happened to be a
candidate for Office, the Ulumahiehie, a
ladies' sextet, sang songs in his praise,
sometimes to his evident embarrass-
ment. All of which kept the crowd in
terested.
Sam Kaohele argued forcibly why he
should be elected to the house Of rep
resentatives and spoke also on the labor
question, saying that the poor people
would have to stick together on the
immigration question OF they would be
come still poorer and the rich richer
Better to let immigration alone for
awhile, then if there isn't sufficient
labor for the Islands open the doors
for immigrants.
In speaking of the delegateship he
set the crowd to laughing when he com
pared Hawaii to Noah's ark, thus: The
first dove sent out by Noah was com
pared to Wilcox, the first delegate; the
second dove represented Kuhio, and the
third dove will be McCandless.
After Higher Wages.
Dan Kamahu charged the Republi.
cans with being against the Hawaiian
laborers, that the Democrats had been
working up So day wage scale, but
that the Republicans succeeded in low
ering it to $1.50.
An Omen of Defeat.
Eddie Hanapi, who is striving for the
late Frank Harvey's place in the sen
ate, was in the midst of a glowing
testimonial to the memory of the de
ceased senator when the only light or
the grounds went out and the meeting
was in darkness. This was taken as al
omen by some and there was no mort
enthusiasm until the light had been re
plenished. To cheer up the crowd agar
the speaker pleased them with a tall
ON watermelons, pointing out that no one
could say that melon or candidate
was chad" until sampled. He asked
that the Democrats be given a chance
/ to show a sample of their goodness il
office.
Here the lady musicians were. reen
forced by quartet of young mel
whose music was not as lively as be
fore and they were told In loud tone
by various people in the audience tina
the tune was "rotten."
Ferns Voice Full of Tears.
Mayor Fern was the next speaker
With tears in his voice he told of tn,
| lgnominy of his position and how hi
high Office had been trampled upon b,
the Republicans. But he was not b
ter and his talk was self-depreeatol y
so much SO that the audience wa
visibly affected and some were beart
to say "there' 8 fine Christian gentle
man." And SO it seemed, TO the May
or said he thanked Jack Lucas for hi
recent scathing remarks at a recent Re
publican meeting; he thanked the Re
lpublicans for their criticisms and clos
ed by the suggestion thai If the voter
| liked him and elected him they SHOULD
also give him a Democratic board o
supervisors so he would not be walked
| on.
"You know l am your friend" sal,
he, +" and if you are hungry you com
to my house; and if / am hungry
come to your house. We are all friend
and always want to be. Friends i

Immigration and Mules.
CHOW, about immigration. It cost
the plantation 81 day for mule ant
they also have to feed it. The drive
of that mule gets only eighty-fiye cent
day and has to buy his own food
That IS very bad. Russians are dump
ed here and they also take the breat
out of your mouths. Therefore, vot,
against immigration.
Deacon Was Not There.

heard, Kahuna Pacheco, as he has term
ed himself, was given quite an ovation

mitted that he had kept the Kahuni
