that McCandless charged was that the
death rate among Hawaiians has been
due to lack of food because they could

Mecandless Speech.
McCandless said:
Ladies and gentlemen, fellow citi.
Zens.
Every two years, we are obliged
to vote for Senators and Representa-.
tlves to administer our governmental
affairs. We are working for our liy.
ing. which is our duty.
"The Republican and the Democra.
tic parties are likewise fighting for
our living. II Is up to you, gentlemen.
to vote for the party that you think
will beneht you most. In 1908. the
Republican party formulated land
law, which Is not beneficial to the
people. They told you at that time
that II they were elected they would
do what's right for you all; but. much
to our surprise they did not fulfil
their promises.
"Their land laws are not good for
YOU. the people" shouted Link again.
II would now ask you to be watchful,
or else you'll be misled by them. II
they try to mislead you, watch be.

are responsible for your action OF

proceeded. IF you want some more
immigrants brought to this country
then vote for the Republican party
but II you want to oppose the mea
sure then vote for the Democrats. who
are prepared to carry on the teno
of their platform.
THE importation OF more immi
grants to Hawaii nei is detrimen
to the people here, generally. II yo'
want to support the Republican party
that Is your privilege; but If yol
think the Democratic party Is the par

"In order to show you that Their
are enough hands In the country Il
do the plantation work" said Link
"about 1000 workmen turned out I,
work during the recent strike at Wa
| pahu."
In the second week, two thousan,
people were ready to go to work II
the plantations. Some of them slept o.
the cars In the early hours OF tn
morning, in the hope of getting some
thing to do the following day. Wha
did the planters do with those pee
pie? Why did they not take then
all, because there were more mel
available to do their work, than the
ever thought Of"
"The immigration matter is one o
the most important issues of the pre-
sent" continued the speaker.
