Republican Speakers Make Hit
Accentuating Prosperity
Due to Party.

platform last evening at the corner of
Luzo and Punchbowl streets to hearken
to the voices of Republicans raised to
point out a few of their principal ar
guments why the voters, one week from
next Tuesday, should cast their ballots
for the Republican candidates. A. d.
Castro opened the meeting with
speech in English which he interpreted
IN Portuguese, and then handed over
the Craftsmanship to w. X. Serpa, a
young man who did credit to the task
and who briefly, and yet neatly, intro
duced each speaker,
Castro's Introductory remarks were
general, bearing on the benefits that had
been enjoyed under the long enduring
| Republican administration and stating
that the Republican administration had
always proved satisfactory to the ma
| jority of the population, and how that
there was always bound to be kick
ing element. He said that the recent
history of Hawaii had demonstrated
that the Republican party had guarded
the Territory from calamity and dis
! aster and had always been a party for
the amelioration of any trouble that
| arose.
|
| that the Republican party had given
county government to the Islands, to
enable the people to have a greater
voice in the affairs of government. Each
! legislature had added to the powers of
the counties. Without fireworks, a
steady growth had been obtained He
asked the audience to consider that
there had never been more work or
better times than now, under Repub-
lican administration. The speakers
many years in waterfront work enabled
him, he said, to compare notes. Never
had there been better times. He empha-
sized what would be brought about for
increased school facilities. The suf-
ferers in the banana crusade would be
recompensed if the Republicans elect
ed have anything to say about it. Some
Hawaiians had kicked about closing
dirty poi shops, but now clean, sanitary
poi was made and everybody was safe
guarded against disease.
Education of Children.
Clarence Cooke, another Republican
candidate for the house of representa-
tives, was glad to see such lot of chill
dren present, for they represented the
electorate of the future. 1t was good
for them to attend these political meet
ings and learn early the arguments of
campaigning. Industrial education was
one of the efforts of the Republican
party to be realized; it was not good
for all to be trained in one groove.
Children should be fitted for self-sup-
port in good occupations. Improved
education was vital to the country Is
progress.
The party of which he was a candi-
date was bound to bring about the di-
rect primary and another important
pledge was that of enlarging harbor
facilities here, so that with the open
ing of the Panama Canal, when the
/ great ocean liners would be seen here
every day, these Islands would be able
to accommodate them properly. Larger
waterworks appropriations would be
had in the event of the Republican
candidates being elected to the legis-
lature.
With the wonderful growth of Homo
lulu, in blooming suburbs and multiply
ing business and residence buildings,
politics was also growing, administra-
ton was broadening and prosperity be-
coming more and more evident, he held.
This condition of affairs should be con
tinued, and its continuation would be
assured if the Republicans were re-
turned on election day.
Mr.. Cooke spoke of some of the build
ings now going up, in which people he
represents are interested, and how that
a great deal of money was being spent
and many workmen, laborers and me
chanics being well employed. He had
started, he said, as a clerk in the Bank
of Hawaii and now was the president
of that institution. This represented
fourteen years work. AS president of
that bank he had been able to observe
the thrift and saving qualities of the
Portuguese of this city and of this Ter
ritory. He concluded by urging team.
work in this campaign, calling upon his
hearers to support the Republican ban.

In spite of recent operation on his
