These two sentences furnished the
sensations, such as they were, Of the
opening rally of Kuhio's campaign for
the Republican nomination, held at
Aala Park last night and attended by
something moro than a thonsahd peo-
PIE, a large proportion Of whom were
women. Those who went to the rally
expecting to hear something viruihnt on
the race issue were disappointed, as
only on a very few occasions did any
Of the speakers get much past the
limiting distance Kuhio stated that
he had formerly been elected by the
haolc voters but that this time, IL the
people wanted him again as Delegate
he would have to receive the full Ha-
waiian vote, inasmueh as the hadles
had apparently deserted him, while
Desha quoted words he said had been
spoken by one Of the members Of the
last congressional party, to tho effect
that II the HRwaiians failed TO send
one of their own kind to congress they
would be politically dead. He did not
specify which congressman had used

Breckons Wants Harmony
Otherwise the only talk on the race
issue was that the Hawaiians never
drew the color line politically, however
much the haoles did. X w. Breckons.
the first speaker, defended the Hawai-
ian voter from the color line charge
and gave instances from his own ex-
perience which showed the Hawaiian
TO be a good voter. Mr.. Breckons also
called upon the Delegate and his sup
porters not TO say anything against
Rice and his supporters that could be
used after the primaries by the Demo
cratic campaigncrs, and called upoa
Rice and his supporters to be equally
careful in their expressions against The
Prince. He thought that The Adver-
tiser and the Star Bulletin should be
guarded in their ntterances, just as
should be Ka Hoku and the other Ha-
walian papers supporting Kuhio.
Punctured the Bubble.
Mr. Breekons referred to the effec.
tual manner in which T. A. Thurston
had punctured the Progressive bubble,
so punctured IL that not all the hot
air Of Carter, Ballou, Doctor Seudder
or Our jack could ever hope to in
fate IL again. Mr.. Thurston has
wiped Carter of the political map,
said Mr.. Breckons, statement that
got one of the big cheers Of the rally.
Wise Defends Kuhio.
The chairman of the meeting, John
Wise, stated, 10 opening the rally, that
this was not to be campaign along
race lines so far as the Hawaiians arc
concerned. He defended Kuhio against
the charges that he has been doing
nothing for Hawaii, instancine ali the
appropriations that the Delegate had
got for Hawaii since his FIRST election
and stating that it was the leadership
Of Kuhio that had made the Republican
party the power il is in the Territory.
What will Kuhio and his supporters
do II Rice he nominated and Kuhio de
feated in the primariesgn asked Wise,
answering his own question by saying,
IN kuhio's name; Kuhio and his
supporters, under those circumstances.
Will support Rice for election, as true

and marked ability had been extoIIed
