DO
AN ISLAND TOUR
Scatter Enthusiasm With the
Dust of Their Automobiles
Round Oahu.

A political record, or combined
political and automobile record, was
smashed on Saturday when the greatest
number of politicians ever transported
in one day in automobiles on this island
of Oahu were conveyed around the is
land between ten clock in the morn
ing and one clock the next morning
There were twelve machines and over
sixty candidates and Republican party
workers in the caravan, and the way
they woke the country up was a caution
and a spectacle.
They went up over the Pail and then
down through the beautiful region of
Kane0he. Punaluu and on to Waialua
and thence across to Pearl City and
back to Honolulu by way of Wahiawa.
In the party were the prospective Re-
publican mayor. John c. Lane; the Re-
publican candidate for sheriff. Andrew
Cox; Treasrer-to-he Bob Single. Audi
tor Bicknell and Clerk Kalauokalani,
now of the city of Honolulu and ex-
pecting and sure to be reelected, the
superyisorial candidates and some of
the candidates for the senate and the
mouse u representatives
Jim Quinn, who is himself a candi-
date for reelection as a supervisor,
occupied his own automobile. with the
I rest of the supervisorial candidates,
Low. Amana. Arnold, Dwight, Kruger
and Harry Murray.
Kruger and Murray were two of the
first to return to Honolulu, having an
important engagement at a banqet,
while the others trooped in all the way
between 10 or 1890 p. M. and ] or 2
a. m. the next day.
Strange to say. there was no marvel
Gus adventure on the way and none Of
the dozen automobiles got broken down
or wrecked.
Besides the candidates who journeved
to the windward side of the island there
were several prominent Republicans
who acted as friends and advisers to
the aforesaid candidates, as, for ex,
ample. R. W. Breckons and Charlie
Clark.
Luau and Barbecue.
The main feed, at which there were
as MANY as five hundred present, was
pulled off at Punaluu, and later in the
evening there was given a barbecue.
There was great enthusiasm and under
cover of the general public rejoicing
at the presence on the windward side
of the Republican candidates, there
managed to get in a few Democrats
who got free feed under the guise
of going to vote the Republican ticket.
Everybody made speeches and every
where the automobiles of the big party
stopped there were loud cheers to greet
them. At places where they did not
stop there were hundreds lined along
the roadsides to shout encouragement
as they passed.
Breckons made speech here and
there and was hailed with much delight
hv those on the other side of the island
who had heard Of him and knew him to
be hustler in politics as well as in
the WORK of the federal court. In spite
of suffering from carbuncle under his
shoulder blade Breckons went along to
add his eloquence and influence to the
campaign Tom Blackwell had some
thing to say when given a chance, en-
loving talking as much as he does drlv-
inc an auto. Cecil Brown, senatorial
candidate. was along. as was Dick Lane.
good Republican worker. There were
speeches made at Waikane and there
were more made along the line, at Wal
alua and elsewhere.
Lane made a rousing talk whenever
he got a chance, as did Cox, Single
and the others Single, candidate for
treasurer. was most enthusiastically re-
ceived.
