Sound Advice Given
The 10th precinct club assured w.
C.. Achi that il hadn't forgotten him,
although he did not receive the no
mination In response he gave some
sound argument in favor of the
straight Republican ticket He point
ed out that the Republicans controlE
ed the upper house, and after cleo
tion there will be added Hind and
Kamauoha from Hawaii, Harry Bald
win from Maui. with Cookies chances
very good, and one from Kauai, In
the lower house he pointed out that
Hawaii VIII send eight Republicans,
Maui six, Kauai four and the 4th dis
trict six, making "A sure Republican
members.
IF the 9Th district should send
Democrats to the house or. Oahu
should send Democrats to the senate,
then we would have nobody to blame
but ourselves for lack of results" he
said. He urged straight Republic
can delegation for the house SO that
Oahu with IL members may be in a
better position to receive their portion
from the Republican family of 80.
His argument on the frontage tax
issue was an eye-o )ener to the Hawaii
an voters, who, no doubt, went away
with clearer idea of this law than
they ever had before. He scored the
Democrats who were denouncing the
law as being 1.ypocrites, trying to
ride to success on misrepresentation. !"
He pointed out that Writ, Coke and
Iaukea, all Den ocrats, had voted for
the law in the senate.
Take On Frontage Tax
Achi pointed out that it was up to
an Improvement district to vote yes or
nc on the question of putting a district
under the frontage tax law; that the
poor people were protected anyway If
they thought they did not want their
roads fixed under this law.
The millionaires in Manoa have
decided to build their roads under the
frontage tax system" he declared.
That is all right. 1t is their money
that they wish to spend They will
have beautiful roads just as they now
have beautiful homes. But ask you,
who is being benefited because the
Manoa people decided to have their
roads built unuer this law? You.
Some of you are getting $3.50 per
day up there. Because of the working
of this law you are enabled to buy
food and clothing for your wives and
children instead of you loafing on the
streets. With these improvements
under this law in various parts of the
city, there will be plenty of work and
you will be the ones who will have to
do that work, and you will benefit.
And yet the Democrats tell you that
the law is bad, bad because the Repub-
licans are responsible for it. Sure we
are responsible for it and you are get
ting the money. If they call that bad
/ should like to know what they call
good. That is always the Democratic |
way-to have you walk the streets
and starve. The Republican way is to
have plenty of work so that you may
earn money"
He followed this up with a plea to
vote for the bond issue so that more
work may be provided, and at the
same time the proper improvements |
may be inaugurated by the city and
county 1t was by far the best talk
Of the evening and Achi was roundly /
applauded as ne made his telling
points.
Unanimous Support Deserved
William Crawford referred to the |
record Of the various candidates in the
legislature and the board of supervis.
DTS and the achievements of the Re-
publican party. He urged that the
candidates of the party should received
he unanimous support of the voters
20 that the excellent party pledges
nay be carried out. He assailed the
knockers in the party as traitors to
he cause'-as worse than our op-i
,onents, the Democrats, for they at
east are gentlemen. And he ended
Up with an eloquent appeal to *vote
he straight Republican ticket"
Makanoe Amana received a hearty
reception when he referred to his rec
,ra on the board of supervisors. He
attributed this success to the fact that
here was team work there among the
and that the party had
progressive ideas and was always
Identified with success. He urged his
hearers to identify themselves with
he party of achievement and success
nd to vote for a straight Republican
icket.
Makes Odd Comparison "
Sylvester Correa demonstrated that
lie had not lost his popularity. His
eference to the candidates of the
,arty as good men, tried and true, lik-
ming them to a ripe breadfruit,
aught on with the crowd. His ap-
zeal to the women to use their silent
influence to have their husbands vote
he straight Republican ticket was a
Masterpiece The Republican party
las gone on record to grant You sur
rage, and it shall be my earnest eff
ort to carry this plank to successful
onclusion. | hope that the next time
appear before you to solicit your
otes that may have the pleasure
