from his personal friends-and said
after the meeting that he was much
interested, not to say enlightened.
Charges Of waste, extravaganza ana
incompetence were made against the

when Logan produced and read pof>
lions OF speeches by Democrats In
which they declared themselves
against the frontage-tax laws. - !
1.-THE board at 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 on extracts
from some recent Democratic speeches
as follows:
Mcclellan at Moiliili 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 II. The
board will build the roads instead of
asking you poor 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. It
means that the poor people will have
to bear the burden and hardship which
win be brought about by this law.
Link McCandless am opposed to
the frontagetax, 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 In handling men He
also emphatically favored the trial OF
the frontage-tax law
There are features In It I object to,
but / say, give 1t, q fair trial and If It's
wrong, repeal II, he said. The law
win not be a hardship on the poor
that's hot air. The rich man with lots
of property Is the man who viii have
to pay high. Tie law Is on the stat
ute books and Lam In favor OF enforc-
ing 1t and If it is unfair I will be for
repeating II"
Charles f. Chillingworth, candidate.
for senator, made straightforward
argument III favor of q strongly Re
publican house and senate.
1T would be natural If the Demo
Gratis control either or both houses, for
the present national administration,
and in that way put Hawaii appar-
entity on record as in favor Of free
sugar. We should elect q straight Re-
publican ticket this year as concrete
evidence that Hawaii does not indorse
the disastrous policy OF no tariff on
sugar" he said.
viii Work for New Laws.
Chillingworth also endorses the
frontage-tax plan and said that wher-
ever 1t is fully discussed before the
people It is favored.
Personally shall take every OPP
|portunity, when speaking before the
masses to explain this law and its
workings and / am sure It VIII be
strongly favored when understood" he
said. He asked the voters to support
the entire ticket.
Charles N Arnold Of Eva, candidate
for supervisor was another speaker
who made very good impression. He
told Of his work as q member of the
Legislative committee of the superyis-
ors several years ago when the legisla-
ture was asked to pass the frontage
tax law and said he still believes in it.
He told Mandates he would work for
better police and fire protection for
the valley.
a. Il Castle, candidate for senator,
spoke mostly on the workmen's COM
pensation act, coming out very strong
~ for an equitable act and one that
would guarantee q workman adequate
| pay when he was injured while at HIS
work. He dwelt on the free sugar
issue also, declaring that it is vital
one. &.
Cant Always Turn Other Cheek
The Bible says for us to turn the
other cheek when we are hit, and
some people tell you that we should
not fight for our prosperity, but let me
tell you that we cant turn the other
cheek all the time" he declared.
William Henry, candidate for sher-
| il, told OF finding nothing but Repub.
lican sentiment on his last mainland
trip. Il don't know how Senator
Coke can say he found strong senti.
lment for the Democrats he observed.
He promised Manoa better police pro.
lection If he is elected.
