the party. was sure that the other
islands would bring me victorious, but
must confess that not for moment
did suspect that McCandless would
develop the strength that he did in
Oahu. He has been hard at work. and
the vote shows it. I believe that the
vote here is but reflex of that which
on the mainland showed under the hopes
of the Tafters and the Progressives.
This is historic election.
''Of course there were local reasons
that helped the Democrats in defeating
our ticket. Among the chief of these,
ii not the chief, was the banana cam
paign of the board of health. That

Link Is wrathy.
McCandless was not backward about
expressing his opinion of the causes
that led to his defeat. he said
"You may say for me that it is hope
less to attempt to espouse the cause of
the poor people of this Territory. The
ipowers that be simply will not allow
it. l put up the hardest kind of fight,
and if the white men, who had re-
ceived all sorts of insults from this man
Kuhio, had stuck by me like men l
would have been elected. As it is I
have only the consciousness of having
done my best. They are sending Cupid
back to Democratic house of repre-
sentatives, where he will be but small
factor in the minority that the Repub-
i, licans will have in the house. Where
,, will their sugar interests be thenQ"
,, Speaking of the success of the rest of
the ticket, G. j. Waller said:
''I believe the explanation is very
simple. 1t is a Democratic year. Car
/ isle said that the only way tine rich
r could help the poor was by getting
off their backs.' We Democrats are
going to help the rich to get off. We
shall not be able to bring about the
millennium, but at least we are going
to do something for the people,

GIVE won all along the line because
we put up clean men for office, and
conducted clean campaign, free from
mud singing, free from the usual dit
