NEVER FOUGHT SUGAR MEN
(From Sunday Advertiser)

Announcing that his record in con-
gress had satisfied him and consequent
ly must be good enough for the rest of
the people of Hawaii, Delegate Kala-
nianaole broke his long silence by a
lengthy address at the Republican rally
at Aala Park last night, for which a
large crowd of voters had gathered, the
hearers outnumbering those who had
been present at the Democratic open
ing meeting on Thursday. The crowd
last night grew quite enthusiastic at
times, warming up as the fires of ora
tory grew from warm to hot, conclud.
ing with regular old-time campaign
speech bv Judge George A. Davis.
The main speech of the evening was,
of course, that of the Delegate, who
spoke in both English and Hawaiian.
He repeated none of hic famous charges
against Governor Frear, but justified
the making of those charges because of
the good that will eventually result for
Hawaii from the visit of the secretary
of the interior. He came quite near
SAYING that he was satisfied that he had
been wrong, in remark to the effect
that the Republican party in Hawan
had become once more united party.
Charles Achi first justified the ba-
mana campaign and then gave all the
credit of it to the Democrats, his in
verse reasoning being apparently quite
satisfactory to him. Rev. stephen
Desha talked great deal but SAID
nothing, his word weaving being fanci-
full adaptations of Hawaiian legends
to the appearances or deeds of the va
rious Republican candidates.
Single Led Of.
The meeting was opened by Robert
w. Single, who said
t'The Republican party has met here
this evening to present to you the Dele
gate and candidates on the Republican
ticket. and who in turn will ask you
to support the Republican platform.
HMind you, fellow citizens, we do
not claim that everything is satisfac-
tory in the present administration OF
this Territory, but we do claim that
we have tried to improve upon the
things that are radically wrong, and we
have with us this evening the candl-
dates who are pledged to carry out our
platform, which to large extent Gov
ers most of the things that should be
improved.

Good Work by Democrats.
w. C. Achi then followed with the ba
mana grafton OF the evening and show
ed how the cutting of the banana
might have meant the saving of tn
dives of n large number of Hawaiian
had yellow fever really come into tn
country. Mr.. Achi showed that tn
work Of the banana cutters was tn
work of a band of Democrats; that
was two Democratic doctors, represer
tatives of the federal government, VIII
had suggested cutting down the bi
nanas and that the majority Of the ID
borers who had done this work had bee
Democrats and also that the Democrat
mayor Of the city had signed the ord
