Bartlett Reads His. = -. f..
Charles G. Bartlett was next intro

PRODUCING him, made several remarks
about the opposition to Bartlett's
the Honolulu Brewery Lucas said
that q certain tnarrow-minded set Is
trying to run the town and took oc-
casion to refer to the Start Bulletins
attitude. Some people think that
they ought to be allowed to run this
city," he said. and because a man
makes beer he ought not to sit in Of

drink served up in teaspoons for those
people Mr.. Bartlett makes beer and
drink il, not very much of it, though.
He is good man, but a, sanity set
has singled him out for attack.
tell you, boys. and ! mean this for
the Star Bulletin, too, we're going to
show these people that they can't
run this town" ~
Lucas got some scattering applause,
but not much. .,2 -, =
Bartlett had come prepared with a
written statement, which he read in
lieu of a speech. He said that ia
Eatical set which would take his vote
away from him if it had the power
and put him in the class Of convicted
feloHs" was attacking him because
he was connected with the brewery.
He pointed with pride to the fact
that he had risen from a clerical po-
sition in the brewery to its manager
and asked the voters if that does not
show that he will be good super
visor. He also declared that in many
cities on the mainland there are
iiauor men in public office, using this
evidently as an argument for his own
candidacy in Honolulu. he closed by
saying that whether he were sup
ported or not, he would urge the
voters to support the Republican
ticket. His paper was interpreted by
Willie Crawford.
Wise's Figuring.
John Wise gave a short talk on
practical politics, declaring that pol
itics must be played honestly and
fairly and that reciprocity must be
observed. He SIalyzed the last
county conventie., showing the pre-
ponderance OF Iaborers and clerks
who went as delegates, declaring
that the nominees, however, showed
an overwhelming prepOnderance of
businessmen and that in particular
only three laborers were nominated
for office. He reasoned from this
that labor certainly ought to get the
small percentage of representatives
in office for which it is asking.
Charles F. Chillingworth made
what was, in many respects, the best
speech of the evening, and at times
grew into real and ringing eloquenCe.
He asked that A. S. Kaleiopu be re-
turned to the senate. telling how Ka-
leiopu fought for the vaccination bill
though he knew he would be bitterly
attacked for it by his own race. He
urged the voters to support George
F.. Renton and J. NJ. DOwsett for the
senate. asserting that they have per
sonal business interests for the good
of the party and of the Territory. He
told how some Of the poorer candi-
dates. such as MahOe, of Waialua,
are walking miles from house to
house seeking the support of their
fellow-citizens because tiey wish to
help the party make G"0d record
in the Legislature. Chillingworth
closed with an earnest appeal to the
