Even larger than the Kalihi pump
meeting was the general campaign
rally held at the Kumalae Block, IA
kaako, last night by the Democratic
aspirants for city and county offices.
The Bourbons have made an excellent
start in their final campaign and the
voters are turning out by the hunoreos
to hear their speakers.
Just why the daily newspapers
never printed the Democratic platform
in FIJI was the question raised last
night by Prof. w. A. Bryan oil the Coi-
lege of Hawaii, who, with L. l.. NC
Candless, is managing the BOURBON
campaign.
oar platform must have been too
good for the Republican papers, de-
clared Prof Bryan. THE Democratic
party has not had . square deal from
the daily press. 1t must be borne in
mind that large portion OF the read
ers of these papers are Democrats who
read the papers to get the news, ana
| contend that the Democratic plat
form was a matter Of news. There
fore, IL appears that these newspapers
did not give a square deal to many OF
their readers by not printing the Dem
ocratic platform in full"

an appeal to the Portuguese voters to
fight for adequate representation In
the management Of the city and coun-
ty government.
"The only argument put forward by
the Republicans Is that the Democrats
are against the frontage tax" he said
IN substance. "In the last legislature
the Democratic members compelled
their opponents to amend the frontage
