What viii stand in the history of
the present political campaign as its
most important meeting was held yes
terday afternoon at the rooms of the
chamber of commerce. Called by n
Joint committee, representing the Re
publican territorial and county commit
tees. about two hundred of the fore
most men in Hawaii Is commercial and
industrial life were present to hear and
be heard, A. l.. c. Atkinson presiding
with his fellow committee members
Robert w. Shingle and Albert Water
house.
The factional quarrels in the Repub
lean ranks, or rather the last echoes
of them still bothering the leaders OF
the party, ended yesterday at foui
o clock, coming to an end upon the
unanimous passing of a motion making
every man committee Of one to boost
the straight Republican ticket.
The necessity of the straight Repub
lican ticket was the theme of the after
noon, and great many big men, with
immense capacities for fighting, left the
room an hour after the meeting opened
clearer in mind as regards their politi
and prepared to do, in the words Jack
Lucas didn t use, "their darndest.
The summary of the whole meeting
was given in an address by Shingle just
before the meeting adjourned, explain
ing the reasons that led him to resign
from the financial committee and take
up the subchairmanship of the fourth
district ommittee.
That summary dwelt upon the neces
sity of securing for the Republlca1
party every stronghold which woul'
tender to its strength, and fully ex
planned the reasons why the only wa!
to do this was to support the straigh
ticket.
The Why of the Straight Ticket
Previous to Shingle IS address the dis
eussion had been on McCandless almos
alone. and the attention that was grant
ed him would have flattered him, despit
tbe contempt of his methods and h
aims that was evidenced.
Shingle went further. He pointed on
that a vote for Trent, Fern or Jarret
even if it was accompanied by a vott
for Kuhio ON the same ballot, was ]
reality vote for McCandless an tn
future. and undeniable facts hacked u
his conclusions.
He gave the police and the road d
partments their full value without min
mo words. He showed how their SUI
mort of Trent and Jarrett was buildln
mn with greater solidity every year II
two strongest fortifeations of the Dem
cratic marty: how it was making mo-
secure as time progressed the absoln
machine which was to be sold to Nj
Candless in the future as it has BET
sold to him in the present.
He did not hesitate to show the val
of such n machine to the Republics
party, and did not hesitate to call IL
machine. showing no reason why, in q
support it gave TO the party, it shou
perform its official duties in an incol
petent manner. :.
The figures produced earlier duril
the meeting by Atkinson showed
what narrow margin a delegate
congress was elected in Hawaii, al
how narrowly Kuhio had escaped d
feat at the hands of McCandless
the last election, even though su
stantial percentage of votes represeI
ed the difference between the two.
Shingle utilized these in showing he
the margin was being driven to na
rover proportions yearly by the We
machines which the voters permit
by the split ticket, how its repetiti
would make almost unassailable
position of McCandless in 1912 If t
electorate sent Republican delega
to congress and permitted the Den
cratic machine TO live.
nThis afternoon Mr.. Trent was
his counter personally paying off
road laborers. The treasurer s office
very important link in the chi
that McCandless, Fern and Trent hf
built up" said shingle, who explain
that his desires had been to succ'
himself to the house of representativ
but that he had accepted the treasr
candidacy at the personal request
Prince Cupid.
The Republican Delegate.
The speaker called attention to
fact that should Prince Cupid, VIII
he called but mortal, die between
present and election day the Rep
iiean party would have no man '
could step in and defeat Lincoln
Candless for the delegateship, call
the state of affairs shameful one.
Prince Cupid, he explained, was
anxious to run again, his devotion
his party and people alone bring
him into the fight, and il was to m
this fight so entirely successful
in the future MeCandless' chances
satisfy his childish, though insati
and dangerous ambition, would
irreyoeably weakened. That was wh!
WAS in the FIGHT for the treasurefs
And that WAS why the party had
right TO expect the business e0mmu
to work hard and vote for the stfa
Republican ticket.
