LOGAN SHOWS Up
|. Notwithstanding
Of SUPERVISORS

Manoa valley residents heard some
perfectly polite but quite eInrhatic
sroastss' upon the Democratic board
~ supervisors last night from Rephp.5
iican speakers who went to the Manoa
meeting on the Tennis Club courts
Incidentally. James L. Cooke. Demo
cratic senator, came to view the pro-
ceedings and every speaker took sew
eral good -natured but sharp thrusts at
the Bourbon legislator and his party
and party policies. The senator sfhlE
Cd braveIy under the assauits-aiI
from his personal friends-and said
after the meeting that he was, much
interested, not to say enlightened.
Charges Of waste, extravagance and
incompetence were made against the
present supervisors, backed up Dy IN
teresting figures and statements Dan
lei Logan, candidate for supervisor,
was the first speaker He declared
himself strongly in favor OF the front
age-tax or local improvement plan Tor
street-work, touched upon other issues,
put in a, word on behalf OF the Whole
ticket and paid his respects to the
present supervisors.
The audience listened attentivety
when Logan produced and read por-
tions of speeches by Democrats IN
which they declared themselves
against the frontage-tax laws.
aThe board st its meeting tumbled
over itself. on the eve of election, to
declare that It was for the frontage
tax. That's what the members said at
their public meeting. But at their
political meetings they are denying
this. Here are statements to prove
it, said logan, and read OF extracts
from some recent Democratic speeches
as follows:
Mcclellan at MoiIiih Tuesday night
- The frontage-tax law would have
been put into operation had the Re.
publicans been in control. We have
consistently been opposed to It The
beard will build the roads instead Of
asking you Door people to put up
your share. You have taxes enough as
they stand.
Wolter at Kalihi Monday night
am opposed to the frontage-tax law. L
/ means that the poor people will have
to bear the burden and hardship which
will be brought about by this law.
Link McCandless-.l am opposed to
the frcntage-tax law because it is a
| hardship to the poor.
Logan was followed by William Lar
sen, candidate for supervisor, who
/ briefly referred to his business record
and his success ii handling men. He
lalso emphaticaily favored the trial d
| the frontagetax law.
There are features In II object to
hut say, give tia fair trial and If it's
wrong, repeal 1t, he said. THE Law
will not be hardship on the poor
that's hot air. The rich man with lots
Iof property Is the man who will have
Ito pay high The law Is on the stat
| ute books and am Ia favor OF enforc
ling 1t and II it isI unfair viii be fol
repealing IL =
Charles F. ChiilingWorth, candidate
for senator, made Straightforward
argument in favor of q strongly Re
publican house and senate.
ct would be natural II the Demo
icrats control either or both houses, To-
Them to pass a resolution indorsint
1.-THE present national administration
and In that way put Hawaii appaT
lently on record as in favor OF ire,
Isugar. We should elect straight Re
publican ticket this year as eoncreti
levidence that Hawaii does not indors'
the disastrous policy of no tariff Of
sugar he said.

masses to explain this law and it
workings and I am sure It will b
strongly favored when understood, b
said. He asked the voters to supper
. the entire ticket.
Charles N. Arnold of Eva, candidat
8 fer supervisor, was another speake
