The Republican campaign opened in
earnest last night at luau given for
all the candidates, officers of the con-
vention, members of the convention and
all the candidates who were defeated
in the balloting for places on the county
and legislative tickets. The campaign
was opened with speechmaKing which
indicated the trend of some of the argu
ments to be used on the stump.
1t was a harmony meeting, and all
those present indicated that they were
ready to put their shoulders to the
wheel and carry the ticket to victory.
The luau was one of the largest ever
served for party workers, and was a
feast at which many Hawaiian delica-
cies were at hand. Long tables were
laid the entire length of the new HiranO
Hall, and at the head of each was
politician prominent in the work of
the party. At the first table sat r.
w. Breckons, the chairman of the con-
vention; at the next Prince Kalaniana
ole, who was nominated to succeed him
self as delegate to congress; at others,
Col. Samuel Parker, chairman of the
county committee; Charles Achi, defeat
ed in the race for the senate nomina.
tion, and John c. Lane, candidate for
mayor.
No Promises Made.
Mr.. Lane opened the speechmaking
in Hawaiian, followed by a brief ad.
dress in English. He said the luau was
intended to bring together the party
men, that all differences that may have
existed among factions could be buried.
The nominating convention was created,
he said, for the purpose of selecting can
didates, and that all had an even
chance. The rules were all above board,
and every delegate was given chance
to vote according to the dictates of his
conscience. The Republican party was
above board. If the delegates were to
take their individual rights into consid-
Grafton, the party would not be success
full. There were no promises to be made
by any candidate. He should, if elect
ed, recognize the party rs needs first.
All the candidates belong to the party,
and every man elected will owe his
election to the Republican party.
Mr.. Lane said the issue of immigra.
tion was the issue upon which the form
of government of the United States has
been carried on. immigration has been
the making of the United States. 1t
is a national issue, and the Republican
party in the Territory has able men to
carry out an issue of that kind with
success. The immigration feature of
Mr.. Lanes address was applauded.
Parker Predicts Victory.
Colonel Parker was named as master
of ceremonies, and he responded in his
humorous way. He asked the members
to put it in their pipes and smoke it,
that Lane would easily defeat Fern or
any one else placed in nomination, even
Jarrett. He predicted big Republican
victory He didn It believe much in
hurrahing He had hear enough of that
when he was a candidate for congress
and was defeated by Wilcox. There was
too much hurrahing then. Now work
was wanted. He said he had been
chosen chairman of the committee and
would work If he didn It like the job
after a week s trial, he would let some
one else take hold.
Colonel Parker spoke of knitting, and
referred to his. own case when he was
knitted right and left.
scrapping Is over.
R. w. Breckons said; GIVE have got
good ticket and good platform and
we can lick the other fellows" He
said the party was through with its
scrapping and if anybody butted into
its affairs from now on they would get
at least three black eyes, and he re-
ferred particularly to the Democratic
party. He congratulated the party on
the kind of ticket put up, and the plat
form couldn t be beat, neither could
the entire ticket.
Hustace Out Of Party.
r. w. Single, candidate for city
treasurer, first of all proposed health
to John Hughes, who although defeated
came TO the luan. He said he had been
disappointed during the forenoon to
hear that Charles Hustace had resigned
from the county committee. He said
that If Mr. Hnstace could not support
the ticket, which the press of the city
had conceded 10 be the best all round
ticket ever advanced by the party, then
the Republican party must 90 It's way
