(From Saturday Advertiser)
On a bench beneath mango tree,
in front of the general store at Kane
ohe, on Windward Oahu, yesterday aft
ernoon, there stood in turn many of the
Republican candidates, addressing a
picturesque and certainly earnest crowd
of little less than two hundred good
country folk. The long front veranda
of the Lee Wo Chong commercial estab-
llshment served to accommodate the
women and children and the orchestra,
while the men gathered around the
mango to harken to the campaign
preaching.
Mrs. and Miss Bishaw sang duet
now and then, and Madame Alapai led
a glee club. dozen automobiles de-
scended the Pail, bringing the candi-
dates and other workers. Leis were put
about the neck of each Honolulu ar
rival as he descended from his machine.
Much enthusiasm prevailed, and the
crowd was in an appreciative mood.
All speakers were applalded, while
some received more than the ordinary,
so that it was clear to see who was
well supported in the precinct and who
was still under consideration. Since
most of the speakers were anxious to
be back IN town for other stump meet
ings at seven-thirty o clock, the
speeches were necessarily made short,
and when one occupied more than five
minutes it meant greater brevity for
others.
About four clock John Bell, candi-
date for deputy sheriff in that section,
opened the exercises. Jack Dowsett,
candidate for the senate, handed out
some warm shot for the Democratic as
pirant for congress. He took up GER
tain statements which had been made
by McCandless and refuted them.
Refuting McCandless.
Link had said that certain Repub-
lican candidates, referring to Dowsett
and Renton, for the senate, had been
guilty of lies in their statements to the
people. In answer to this, DOwsett de-
clared that a reference to his legisla-
tive record would show that he had
faithfully fulfilled every promise he had
made He said that the Democrats sug-
gested that he (Dowsett) and Renton
were so tied up in sugar interests that
they couldn t think of any other in
terests.
Replying to this, Dowsett declared
that McCandless was the last man who
should make any such statement, for
he McCandless, was gradually buying
up the valleys in order to control the
water supplv that he might sell it 10
the sugar plantations for a quarter of
million dollars. Link had made his
money in sugar and difference be-
tween Link and Dowsett was that Link
=, had made great deal more money. If
the people on the windward side Of
Oahu did not look out, Link McCand-
| less would soon have bought up all the
water, so that the poor Hawaiians
might soon not have even enough water
for their taro patches.
Dowsett told how for sixteen years
ne had worked for Bishop & Company
and invested his savings in sugar stock
and so made what he now possesses. He
had made his money honestly, and Link
had made his money honestly; both had
made it ont of sugar. but Link had
made a great deal more. and it was
1
body for their connection with sugar.
| Dowsett also said that the Demo
Gratis were charging that the Republi
cans, if in power again, would seek tc
| effect a law so that n man conldn Z
have a vote unless he had $1,000 worth
of pronerty. That lie was easily AN
swered. Look at the Republican plat
form and see if any such idea entere
there.
