The Democrat, heralded as the odi.
,ial paper Of the McCandless party, is
born, making its initial appearance
while Ryan Of Hilo was uttering the
1tterances for which he is famous from
The soap box. f. p. Irwin is announced
rs editor and Harry Juen is publisher,
The Democrat straddles all the
troubles that infest Democracy in Ha.
waii, boosting McCandless, against
whom the party campaign manager in
Oahu is working and against whom the
majority of the Democratic candidates
are going to vote, and at the same time
praising the political course of Nc.
Carthy. The sheet is typically Demo
cratic, as the few excerpts here given
will demonstrate:
if the Republican daily pa
pers were animated by any sense of
decency and fairness, and were not
too cowardly. too venal or too
preiudiced to tell the truth.
- . the Republican papers have
been characterized by deliberate
falsehood, careful Misrepresentation,
indecent vituperation and malicious
abuse of the Democrats.
Abuse, Misrepresentation and de
liberate falsehood are the principal
weapons to which the Republicans, in
their desperate attempt to win n los
ing battle have esorted.-lnterview

The rif'raff of Europe Referring
to the Portuguese.
What the planters want to do
what the Republican party wants to
do, is to keep wages down below the
wage of mule. What the Demo
cratic party wants to do is to shut
off the flood of cheap, inefficient anC
often criminal laborers from the
slums of Europe and the prisons o.
Manchuria.
Miserable wages paid by the plan
tations.
The Advertiser openly threaten
the voters that if they don't ALLOW
them to go ahead with their selfsl
unjust and entirely false scheme q
importing foreigners to take tn
work away from the Hawailans, the
will bring in Filipinos and Port
Ricans.
If there is anything that Repul
lican bosses and sugar planters fea
more than something else, it is fC
congress to find out what has bee
going on in these Islands for tn
past few years.
Whatever respect they 1.-THE R
publican leaders may once have ha
for law and decency has been sun
in their straining efforts to win
any cost and by any means.
Governor Frear is going to sho
the people of this Territory who
boss. If Frear had had to
! pend upon the votes of the electo
ate, he couldn't have been electi
poundmaster. He was appoint,
at the request of the Repu
lican bosses and the sugar interests
Hawaii-and well he has served
n masters. If the Governors sno
;, bishness ever reaches the poi
n
: maintain his proper dignity, it mig
q be well to suggest to HIM a VIII
n kered man, rampant on field ,
gent, twiddling his fingers with
g thumb at his nose.
a OF such are the dreams of Democrat
q The Advertiser quotes at length frC
d the Democratic organ, letting it t.
c in its own words what are its aims,
9 ideals, ITS principles.
c The reference on the part of t
e Democratic campaign sheet to the Pt
o tuguese as "the riffraff of Europe
$ and terminal laborers from the su
: of Europe" is about as good Repu
Z lican campaign material as could
secured, aproposeof which, the DEN
crat may be again quoted in one of t
f few sensible things it says, tina

!. them, but the Portuguese will not fC
n get so easily"
