DEMOCRATS GIVE
THANKS IOR VOTES
At a Rally Renew Prediction
Pledges and Make Promises
for the Future.
(From Sunday Advertiser)

With excellent Hawaiian music fur
nished by the Ulu Mahiahie Woman 3
Club of singers and the Kawaiahau
Glee Club, and list of speakers which
brought into action the Democratic
spellbinders from Laie to Koko Head,
and with an audience of large dimen-
sions composed almost exclusively of
Hawaiians, men, women and children,
all in happy mood and responsive with
applause, the rally was typically Demo
cratic, but unlike most Democratic meet
ings, the speeches were brief in each
instance.
Bertram G. Rivenburgh, the mayor g
secretary, was chairman at first, but
owing to indisposition was compelled to
leave, and the remainder of the pro-
gram was placed in the hands of "Too
Bad" Kalakiela. Following prayer by
X. M. Kaloa and an opening address by
the chairman, who said the purpose of
the meeting was to thank the electorate
for the big vote given all candidates, he
called upon ]. NJ. Poepoe. The latter,
MS well as all who followed him, were
decorated in turn with leis by woman
who had big contract on her hands.
Poepoe said that all eyes were now
turned upon the Democrats to see what
they could do for the people. He was
certain that one of President Wilson s
first acts would be to appoint a Demo
cratic governor of Hawaii, and the Gov.
ernor must be McCandless That was
all there was to it.
One of the first things he wanted to
do on getting into Office was to pass a
$2-a-day bill and see that the board of
health was run so as not to bring hard
ships upon Hawaiians.
Treasurer.elect Mccarthy claimed
that the outgoing board of supervisors
was spending all the money on hand
and would leave him an empty treasury
to start with. He promised a safe ad-
dog.
Coke Makes Suggestion.
Senator elect Coke suggested that the
oldtime song of "Maui No ka Oe' be
changed to "Oahu no ka oe.n Promises
made before the election, he said, would
he kept by him. If things didn't &C
right at the start the Democrats should
not be blamed. The people should bt
patient. He said he had heard the Re
publicans intended to put stumbling
blocks in their path. He said that two
wears ago Governor Frear did not be
lieve in commission government, but to
day was an advocate of it.
Senator.el Wirtz felt the response
bility placed on him by the voters ant
he believed in the ability of the Demo
Gratis to make good.
Senator-elect Iaukea used mega
} phone in addressing the crowd and re
cited poetry relating to the banana ant
mosquito campaign, initiating KanihO
This started prolonged laughter. IL
appealed to the electorate TO be modeI
ate in their criticism of the Democrats
/ as the Republicans are still in major
ity in the legislature and they woul
employ unfair tactics to down the Dem
Ocrats.
