announced they would go into the courts

juvenile and insane charges were received
and opened by the county commissioners
saturday and yesterday was set for TAX
ing of action. The low bid was by F1ana-
san and Gardipe cents per meal for ALL
Orborne bid Sk cents per meal for prison
ers and cents for Juvenile and insane
charges.
Shortly after the bids were opened it
became known that Osborne and Elan
agan and Gardipe had incurred the dis
pleasure OF Sheriff Bradley by bidding for

Tells Crowd at Meeting That
Democrats Will Protect
Industry

L. l. McCandless charged, in a po-
| litical speech last night. that there is
more danger to sugar in Hawaii from
Republican administration than from
Democratic administration. He de-
clared that in his opinion Delegate
Kuhio is responsible for the Under
wood free sugar bill passing the
House. He asserted that the next
governor of Hawaii will be Demoer rat
ic. and he said that he ought TO be
elected to Congress in order to pro-
tect the people.
The speech was delivered during
the course of meeting in the Ninth
precinct of the Fourth district that
"Soapbox" Barron got up. Barron
promoted the meeting, introduced the
speakers, acted as master of ceremo-
mics and generally managed to absorb
most of the limelight. 1t was one of
the biggest meetings of the Democrat
ic party during the campaign to date;
in fact, Barron says it was the big
gest meeting the Democrats have had.
He estimated that there were over
six hundred people there Other esti-
uIdle5 IHdhS IL dDOuI 1OV, anu tHS ma
jority were women and children, but
there were a considerable number of
voters also. The meeting was held at
the corner of Kukui and Fort streets
and McCandless was the principal
speaker.
"The Republican platform says that
the party is for revision of the tariff
downward, and the Democratic plat
form says that it is for revision of the
tariff in such way that it amt going
to hurt legitimate industry" said
Link, IN explaining why-there is more
danger to Hawaii's sugar from Re
publican than from a Democratic ad-
ministration. Now I believe that SUI
gar is legitimate industry, and this
shows you, gentlemen, that the Re-
publicans would revise the sugar tar

if down but the Democrats would
protect sugar.
Why did the Underwood free sugar
bill pass the house, gentlemen? | have
my opinion and that opinion is that
it's the delegate. TO Congress who is q
Republican, and; he had something to
do with that bill passing the house
That's the way | figure it out, and
others do, too
We amt going to get free sugar il
you send Democratic delegate Vote
for l.. l. McCandless and he will rep
resent you right"
Mr.. McCandless took occasion to re-
fer at some length to the Star-Bulle-
tins attitude, as expressed editorially
yesterday. He told the crowd that an
intelligent paper" had said that If
Hawaii should elect Democratic del
egate to Congress it would be an in
dorsement of Democratic principles,
and that those principles were ex-
pressed by the last House action for
free sugar.
Now what do you think of that for
an intelligent paper, gentlemen" he
asked in grieved tones. Amt that
foolish? Why. you all know that I'm
not against the sugar industry or the
sugar tariff You all know that the
Democratic central committee oppos-
ed free sugar. Why, you've got to
elect a Democratic delegate because
the next president of the United
States is going to be a Democrat"
McCandless took up the land laws,
attacking Delegate Kuhio because, he
asserted, the latter made complaints
but never done anything yet" He
continued in a similarly logical and
grammatical strain for half an hour,
taking occasion to deny stories that
charged him with being q land thief.
, C. W: Ashford spoke at some
length. Ashford attacked a number
of the Republican candidates, scoring
particularly j. M. Dowsett, George F.
Renton and A. L. Castle, who, he de-
clared, are tied up with the big in
terests" against the. common people.
Several typical soapbox orators were
also tapped for copious flows of Ian
guage.
