said Cohen, there would not be any
more Republican party or Democratic
party in Hawaii Cohen then referred
TO the reports in circulation. which he
said he had on good authority that tho
Republican leaders were selling out
everything and everybody to save tho
scalps of Dowsett and Rcnton. can
they want is TO get control of the sem
ate, so that they can block good laws
and pass laws for the big interests, - he
shouted
"The Republican party today is pu-
trid and there ia no wonder that it has
burst, he concluded, amid cheers.
Somebody Lied.
Rev. Stephen Desha then told how
Rarron had met him on Hawaii and
said: "Mr. Desna, i hear that you
have burned your bridges behind you.
want to say that l respect you for IL.
have been through HamalSua and I
know how the Hawaiians feel, and il
there is man with Hawaiian blood in
his veins who does not vote for Kuhio,
1 say he is fool" Desha offered to
swear to this statement upon Bible,
or to make an affidavit to its correct
ness, whereupon Barron announced that
il was "dirty campaign lie, and if
Desha would swear to it upon fifty
Bibles he would only dirty the Bibles"
Jack Lucas made speech punctuated
with pungent words. He paid particu-
lar attention to Cohen's candidacy.
"Joe Cohen is spending his money like
damn fool said Painini. "He has
no more chance to be elected to the
senate than / have to be called as pas
tor to Central Union Church. Take his
money, you fellows and make a sucker
of him." Mr.. Hustace said that he
had nothing whatever against the DEM
ocrats except that they were a lot of
damn fools.
Call the Police,
Barron took vigorous exception to
Lucas language, declaring it such as
no man who was sane or respectable
would use. He announced that if any
one else ever desecrated the soapbox
with profanity he would have him ar
rested "I will do this, not as Dem
ocrat, but as n citizen, said Barron.
Hustace Could Tell.
Charles Hustace, independent candi-
date for mayor, spoke briefly. He ex-
planned why he was an independent and
why he had not asked for the regular
Republican nomination. He said he had
been twice jobbed by Republican con-
ventions and was not fool enough to
offer himself for third dose He said

wouldn't break pledge even if I had
taken it in rotten Republican conven-
ton" he explained, "and they know
it" He further explained that he had
the Republican candidate on the run
and would be elected on Tuesday next.
"I'm too strong for them; there's no
use talking,'' he said.
Referring to charges of ingratitude
that had been made against him, he
said: fL have been ten years worker
in the party and ! know the game and
how it has been played could tell
things IL wanted to that would make
some of these leaders squirm. I don't
intend to shoot all my ammunition off
at once, though. / am saving some for
the last days. What ] know are not
family scandals, but political doings."
Barron Shocked.
Following the meeting, soapbox Bar
ron explained that he believed the
speech of Jack Lucas to have been a
studied attempt to make trouble. ''The
Republicans know that we have them
beaten at these meetings and they want
