GOOD team work which would result in
bringing about the improvements need
ed in country roads.
He touched on what the Republican
party was doing in the way of spending
money in these Islands on naval and
military facilities and fortifcations,
and warned the people against ''voting
for a question mark in the form of
a Democratic administration. They
had their children to consider, and the
happiness of their children depended
upon the prosperity of the country,
which prosperity would endure under
the continuation of Republican admin
istration.
Many Other Speakers.
cold Warhorse S. X. Mahoe, for
the house, spoke in Hawaiian, as did
Kanekoa, also for the representatives.
C. G. Bartlett, for supervisor, made a
favorable impression. He modestly re-
ferred to his record and informed his
attentive audience that he was the man
ager of the brewery. He was not a
malihini. He knew the country g needs,
and he was going to work hard for bet.
ter roads and more liberal appropria-
tions.
George Smitlies spoke for his candi-
dacy for the Office of treasurer and for
the rest of the Republican ticket. He
delivered his address in the Hawaiian
language.
Kealoha, who was a member of the
board of supervisors when Charles Hus-
tace was chairman of that body, six
years ago, handed out little surprise.
He said Hustace, who is an independent
candidate for mayor, had declared at
Kaneohe, and also from the Honolulu
soapboX, that he, Hustace had been re.
sponsible for the raise in road laborers
pay from $1.25 to $l50 per day. This
statement by Hustace, Kealoha denied.
He stated it was he who had introduced
the resolution; that the resolution had
been seconded by Andrew Cox; that
four other members Of the board had
voted for it, and that Hustace, the
chairman, was the only member who
had voted against it.
The American Language.
z. X. Fernandez, running for the
house, got off a new argument. He
answered some of the talk of "Cannon
Ball' Kaniho. Kaniho had ridIuuled
the Younger Hawaiian candidates be-
cause many of them could not speak
the Hawaiian language, whereas they
were born in Hawaii. Fernandez said
that English was the official language
of these Hawaiian Islands, and he
wanted to know why he should under
stand Hawaiian. He is is running for
the house, where, according to the Or
ganic Act, English is the parliamentary
language. Kaniho, he remarked, knew
so little English that he had to have
an interpreter when in the legislature
to even know what question was be-
fore the house.
A. L. Castle, fer the house, ham
mered some more good logic regarding
the belt road and the great register.
Castle has fatherly feeling regarding
these propositions and wins sympathy
when he handles the subjects.
David Motley, for supervisor, said
in Hawaiian largely what other super
visorial candidates said in English,
passing on cumulative argument and
getting applause.
Carlos Long and Andrew Cox, both
for the board of supervisors, lost moth
ing by mounting the bench under the
big mango tree Everybody knew them
and apparently coincided with what
they had to say in reference to the
next board being Republican.
Colonel Parker Greeted.
Col. Sam Parker, for mayor, talked
altogether in Hawaiian. A special song
was sung for him, and he was roundly
applauded He said vote for Hus-
tace was a vote thrown away, with
which sentiment the throng seemed
heartily in accord. He cited his plat
form of improvements and better
wages and more liberal appropriations,
and descended from the rostrum amid
an ovation exceeded only by the sweet
ness of the Hawaiian music which was
| played in his honor.
George Renton, for the senate, was
in good omen. AS he ascended the
bench lusty rooster crowed behind
the mango tree. 1t means his election.
1t is prophecy, according to the oil
est inhabitant who mad helped himself
to the front seat of the biggest auto.
the better to enjoy the speeches and
music.
Renton spoke to the point in refer
ence to roadwork how that homesteaoA
were to be opened before long ana bet
ter roads would pe required to accom-
modate the increased traffic. Better
roads would come with a Republican
board of supervisors, with Republican
Legislature. Since the last days of the
monarchy, he said, the Republican ele-
ment had shown what progress meant.
Progress goes on as long as the Repub-
