votes in thr precinct and the Repuo-
Leans are lot worrying as 10 which
side the BIZ majority goes. More
converts t. RepuhIicani7m We're un-
d0ubtedly made last evening.
The luHu opened shortly bcior" sey-
en- o'clock and, when the numerous
appetites had been satisfied. there be
gan the talks of the candidates, mu-
sic marking the intervals.
! One OF the features of the program
; was an address by United States Dis
trict Attorney X. w. BreckOns. Breck
Ons said he was born Republican
and mad been Republican for more
years than he was willing to confess.
though he appeared youthful enough
with his sandy hair and DOyish smile.
He told the interested listeners con-
corning the latest stunt Of Link"
and the crowd hearnened much as a
crowd would listen to the story of
the very latest eccentricity of a cap
tive gorilla. He said that Link, on
Maui, according to wireless adviceS,
backed by Mayor Fern (whO had &C
copied $500 from McCandless to
stump for him. was telling the people
that he, Link McCandless, was respon
sible for giving the franchise to the
Hawaiians; that he had dug up $500
to send Wilcox to Washington to
work for the franchise. BreckonS
clearly pointed out that a Republican
congress was responsible for the
franchise and that McCandless was
sailing under false pretenses.
MccandIess Desperate.
Breckons referred to the despera-
ton of McCandless at this eleventh
hour, descending to falsities in
vain endeavOr to bolster up his los
ing cause. He was now actually ap-
pealing to people whom he had for
merly abused He was endeavoring
to get the friends of Prince Cupid to
desert him, when Cupid was the man
who had obtained ali the good things
in congress for his people in these
islands.
Robert W. Shingle told the people
of the new wrinkle of Mayor Fern
pulled up with what he considered
his safety in Honolulu. deserving his
post at this last minute to go cam
paigning on another island as a
hacker of Link McCandless, with
whom he had not previously been
On the best of terms, and all for five
hundred dollars which McCandless
had turned over to Fern. Shingle !
said he could prove his statement 1t
looked desperate enough for Link |
when he had to resort to this pecu- !
liar method at so late a time in the |
campaign
Single spoke earnestly for the !
election of Kuhio who certainly de- |
served two years more in congress to |
continue the excellent work he had |
Eeen doing for this territory; empha-
sizing the fact that Kuhio's heart !
was in his work for the Americaniza- !
ton Of these islands, for the establish |
ment of solid middle class in this !
country; that his efforts in congress |
were all along directed toward the
welfare of the labOrer, the mechanic
and the man who had to work for
living. Kuhio, he said, was not bound
by the rich, nor was he controlled |
by the administration; he worked for
the general welfare and the things he
accomplished were for the prosperity
and advancement Of this island COM
munity.
Vote for Republican Legislators"
Speaking rather to those of the
audience who were not confirmed Re-
puElicans, he said: You Democrats
who are afraid Of Frear and afraid of
the administration being controlled
by the big interests. | appeal to you
to take Kuhio's advice and vote the
Republican ticket, to put into
the senate Dowsett and Renton and
and give the delegate to
congress legislature that will carry
Out the Improvements promised by
the platform and for which Kuhio will
fight. Then you can be sure of pro-
tecting your own interests.
A. l.. Castle, candidate for the
house OF representatives, spoke we'll
and interestingly Of the work in view
at the next term of the legislature.
He wanted to see the fifth district bet
ter developed and his aim was to
work for a free garbage and sewer
system, and for better roads.
Edwin H. Paris, candidate for SILL
pervisor, seems very strong in this
precinc,. He was warmly welcomed
and delivered an address that pleased
his hearers. He spoke of the neCes-
sity of team work on the board of
and of the desirability OF
electing an entire Republican board
under the Republican mayOr-tO-be,
Samuel Parker. Singing girls chant
