Greatest Rallies
Maui Ever Staged
Lahaina and Wailuku Hold
Immense Meetings on Eve
Of Election and Establish
New Island Records.

New Island NeCOrdS.
Never had there been held on Maui
such political demonstrations as the
two that marked the close of the cam
paign Friday night, one at Lahaina
the other at Wailuku. Each was in
itself a record breaker for the whole
Island and it is hard to say that
either excelled the other.
At Lahaina a street parade preced-
ed the meeting and Lahaina had the
advantage of hearing the candidate
and Senators Wise and Desha first
but the Wailuku meeting was a
patient one and grew steadily in num-
bers until the Baldwin party had
come and gone. Two features of the
Lahaina parade were animated car
toons, one Baldwin riding the Repub-
lican elephant and the other of Link
on democratic donkey with Kuma.

West Maui Turns out
The Lahaina meeting was an i'm

trucks and cars having brought vot-

parade but that did not lessen en-.
thusiasm a whit. After the Bald
win party had left Senator Rice, Rep
resentative NJ. G. Paschoal and A. X
Vierra arrived from Wailuku and the
short interval was filled by local
speakers. Band music and orchestral
music livened the parade and the
meeting.

ed so large number for a poltica
meeting and the orderliness and at
tentiveness of the crowds were parti
cularly noticeable. A. X. Vierra Of

arrived. East Maui speakers filled il
the intervals. These included M. G

Sarah Buck, w. o. Aiken and others
George Cummings presided. There
was string orchestra when the NEE

fired outside the limits of the meet
