lFcoandlesa Speech.
Mr. McCandless then responded to
numerous calls for speech He
thanked them for the honor TO run for
congress. He believed the Democratic
party would sweep the Territory. An
other thing was that they should read
the newspapers. They did not always
tell the truth. He showed a Bulletin
with big headline, "Demoerats Are
Wrangling. - If there ever was a
falsehoOd that was one, he shouted.
That is what they did in 1908. They
said he did not mean what he said. The
Republicans at a luau called him a
liar The results in congress show
whether he meant what he said, par.
lticularly with reference TO the land
question. When he went to the other
islands he was unknown and Home
Rulers and Republicans said he was
falsifer. Kuhio in 1906 had 1000
votes. In 1908 McCandless received
$500 votes. In 1908 Kuhio had only
5000 votes. The Home Rulers know
they will never win and today they are
with the Democrats.
In 1905 there was no land law where
by the people could get bomesteads.
The Republicans passed Jaw which
was an affront to the public McCand-
less got on q steamer and went to
Washington where he met people with
broad minds. Frear was there. Kuhio
was not there. McCandless opposed
the law. The Governor said the time
was not ripe for collection Of taxes by
the county and the people were not
capable. You haven't a representative
in Washington and there is feeling in
Washington that the people of Hawaii
are not what they ought to be.
On August . Mr.. Thurston said the
hreakwater for Hilo was secured from
congress with So 100000 Thurston got
that and where was the Delegate to
congress that he did not get that
amount7
McCandless believes that congress
should give the queen a pension and
he would make every effort to get
such a pension. Kuhio had got big
appropriations, but why had he not got
100000 for his aunt, the Queen7 The
only men who had influence there were
Thurstop, Hatch and Mcclellan ant
when the people voted for Kuhio they
really voted for Mcclellan.
The Democrats as a whole voted the
anti-immigration plank in, not Nc
| Candless because Re had but one vote
1t was right plank. The government
wants to fill the country with aliens
and put them on the public lands. But
man born on the land hasn't the
rights of an alien.
/ He did not want to be knocker
He had been personally successful AND
he wanted all the people to be success
full. The Democrats were progressive
Money don't make men," he said.
He believed that in November tn,
people would realize, to save them
selves, they must vote the Democratic
ticket. The Republicans had an immi
} grafton plank to fill up the public land
with aliens. Just tell the Republican
what is what.
Some thought it was joke for tn,
, party. Some of the jokes were TIN
election of a mayor, sheriff, deput,
and treasurer; and now elect the dele
gate, he concluded, amid more cheer
