MODEST |AUKEA
: EXPOSES KUH|O

Two fair and evenly matched crowds
cratic spellbinders crate on the issues
and near-issues of the present cam
paign, at the o. R, & l.. station at
the corner of Luso and Punehbowl
streets. In the neighborhood of five
hundred people attended the meetings,
and if there was any enthusiasm it
must have been carefully bottled up SO
as not to escape. i.
81 was twenty two years in the serv-
ice of the government before Kuhio
was anything" Grated Colonel Iaukea,
"and my little finger knows more than
Kuhio ever will during his natural
life,'' added the modest candidate for
the territorial senate cat Aala Park,
referring to my previous speech, Kuhio
said l did not know what l was talking
about
And then Iaukea went into the
wrongs and sufferings of the "poor
people of Punchbowl," who were forced
"some of my people and yours said
forced out of the lands and homes they
had occupied so long" Filipino immi-
grafton also received the colonel's en-
phatic disapproval. off I am elected,
ri stop it, said he.
The Peerless Ryan reminded his audi
ence OF the fact that two years ago he
| had told them so. and now they knew
he was right. The audience rather
went into long harangue against the
Republican administration, and brought
in mosquitoes and bananas in such a
medley of confusion it was hard to fol-
| low the orator.
Attorney Lightfoot stated. if he were
elected "there will be no more nolle
prosequis entered in the police court,
after people had been arrested and held
for months and deprived of their liber-
ties. He was not the attorney of any
corporation and did not represent the
| II. X. It. Co., as the present incumbent
of the county attorneys Office did.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Rose made his
usual short and sensible talk, stating
that were he reelected he was sure he
would conduct the business of his of
fee in as efficient manner as he had
lone heretofore.
Candidate Markham, too, does not
believe in long speeches, and said We're
he elected he promised to do the best
he could for the people,
| Several of the candidates avoid Grip
ping the Republicans, while others
seem to have pet aversion for their
friends, the enemy Some of the speak
ers have a penchant for getting out Of
their depth, and then it is to laugh, as,
for instance, in the case lof one who,
when referring to the railroad liability
bill passed by the last legislature, said.
eff man is walking on the railroad
track and the train runs him down
and kills him, what will he do or sayp'
Most of the county ticket candidates
went off yesterday on their trip around
the island and last night slept at
Link McCandless' home at Wal
kane. The Peerless Leader himself
will be back tomorrow morning from
his Hawaii and Maui trip.
Efforts are being made to hold
"Link - down'against his radical stunts
and the soft pedal is TO be used on him
every time he shows a disposition to
break loose. "When he hears about
that straw vote" said one orator of
the Democratic persuasion. "it Is just
like him to 60 up in the air. This we
want to prevent.
SO the soft pedal win be applied just
as soon as "Link" lands TOMORROW
morning.
