GETTING DOWN TO BRASS TACKS

This is the period when the people are in position to
grasp the salient points presented by the political parties
appealing for votes .. ...
This is the period of final analysis when the people get
down TO the brass taCks' Of the situation ...
Republicans are going forward with united 'front.' They
support their platform uteranceS. They make apologies
They have taken stand that has solicited public seni
ment for progressive policies.
Democrats have different platform for every candidate;
nothing on which any dependence can be placed.
Democrats are in the spasS-o despair to which their evil
and frttery declarations have brought them. Their utter
anCeS cannot be dignifed as policies.
Democrats find that their secret political clubs have been
discovered and the schemes for throwing this city and this
Territory into a labor war have been exposed.
So what are the Democrats doing to save themselves?
They have thrown everything and everybody overheard
except few city and county candidates through whom they
hope to control the local public patronage, and with such
WeCkage they try to assemble enough strength
to start out anew with their Bosj ruled party
The present Democratic ay,ot is, to hold control Of the
city and county offices and with this combination promise Nc
CandesS that they will build up machine with which they
will put him in Washington two years hence
Now Mr.. HONEST VOTER, what are YOU going to do
about that?
Do you intend to fall into this Democratic trap laid to cap
e the city organization and through that build up force
that will bring on labor war, Democratic labor war in the
city OF Honolulu? ...
You say Trent is safe man, and he is keeping quiet
You said before that Trent was safe man. But Trent
was the man who sat in the Democratic convention and ap
pIauded The an-mmigrat0n platform OF Boss MCCandeSS.
Now he is trying to sneak quietly around the corners and
solicit votes the basis of not agreeing with the Boss Nc
Candies platform. He wants to be elected as Sample.
Do you think for moment that Trent didn't know of the
job that was being put up through the secret Democratic
clubs organized among waterfront abores? What sort of
Sample would you call that? s..
If Trent being good man, couldn't do anything but ap-
pIaud the antiimmgraOn platform Of Boss McCandess in
the convention what on earth can he possibly do to check
this city peI NELL He'll Bent into labor war? Wouldn't he
be beneficiary of the Democratic clubs?
And there is Jarrett. He is good fellow you say.
But what of Jarrett and the secret Democratic clubs?
Jarrett you say did good work in the Japanese strike.
But where do you find yourself and the community if the
chief of the city police force is brought into combination
of public employees, assessed for political purposes and
waterfront abOeS organized in secret clubs and inspired by
the Democrats with false ideas Of the wages that should
be paid them?
Do you want the patronage of the police force in the
hands OF combination OF that character?
Do you want the police force handled in much the same
manner as the AgtaorS manipulated the Japanese Higher
Wage Association with the man who sworn to protect the
community the creature and possibly the leader of such an
organization? .i ..r
vsors factors in and benecareS Of such political combn-
alton? -sg. I'D. ~. ~. ..
4 DO YOU WANT BOSS RULE AND GRAFT TO RAISE THEIR
H0ARY, C0NSClENCELESS HANDS AND STRIKE DOWN
THE GOOD NAME OF THIS COMMUNITY? &
y IF YOU DO, then you will vote for the Democrats who
Boss who have made and are making speeches more in
ammatory and more dangerous to the public welfare than
did the Japanese strike agtators.
IF YOU DO NOT WANT BOSS RULE AND GRAFT
PLACED IN CONTROL, if you want honest government and
square DEAL you will vote the Republican ticket and vote
it straight.
The integrity of your motive and the measure Of your
good judgment will be established by your loyalty to the
Republican party whose every candidate should have your
vote. So Il. ----.-
