All Maui Meetings
CONTINUED From Page one.l

F
clusion Of Hawaii in appropriation
measures. which such Republican
could do better than could a member
of the opposition party.
John Wise tool for his slogan party
harmony and urged it. He told of his
own candidacy for the nomination and
said that no great credit belonged to
him for making the motion to make
the nomination of Baldwin unanimous
in the convention. He meant what
he said when he made the motion
and he urged a similar unanimity at
the polls. Wise said that McCandless
said Baldwin was a rich mans son"
while McCandless had risen from a
working man. Wise said he had been
told that when Harry Baldwin was
born II. p. Baldwin was a working
man and his wife kept his house
without a servant. MCCandless said
Baldwin was born with a Silver spoon
in his mouth" and McCandless with
a tin spoon in his" McCandless had
made a mistake, it must have beer a
tin horn he had in his mouth at birth.
Senator Desha Heard
Rev. Stephen II. Desha spoke in
Hawaiian and brought out points to
show the friendliness between Bald
win and Kuhio and refuting charges
of unfriendliness made by McCandless
and his followers. He made a pro-
found impression upon the Hawaiians
in the audience and reused them to
cheers repeatedly.
Senator Rice spoke much in the
tenor OF his talk at Waikiki and urg-
ed a SO 81 percent vote for Baldwin.
]. Garcia of the Bank of Maui, one
of the leading Foresters' of the Island
nailed a lie that was being circulated
by McCandless supporters that Bald
win interests were charging the Fores-
tiers $4,000 yearly ground rent for the
site of the new Foresters' Building
and told the audience the ground rent
al is only SIS a month. He also told
of the friendliness Baldwin and the
Baldwin interests had toward the
Foresters and the assistance rendered
in getting them their building.
Garcia put on the same Three
Mice" show that he staged in the Wal
luku meeting the previous night and
made an equal hit with the Kahului
audience.
John Lane answered questions
which he said homesteaders of the
Kihei section had asked him that af-
ternOOn and also answered charges
that Baldwin would seek a commits
sion form of government of Hawaii
showing the impossibility of such a
course on the part of the delegate.
Otherwise Mr.. Lanes speech was
much the same as that he made in
Waikiki.
Frank F. Baldwin was the last
speaker. He drove home three points:
the importance of sending a Repub-
lican to deal with Republicans; of
sending a man who knew the sugar
industry and its needs at a time when
the situation of that industry was so
critical and the reasons for Maui folk
voting for a Maui man.
Several features were introduced at
the meeting. A splendid new picture
of Senator Baldwin was shown by the
stereopticon as was a reproduction of
a clever cartoon, there was good
music by the Naples orchestra and
singing by school children. Never
has there been more enthusiasm dis
played at Kahului.
Last Paia Meeting
NJ. a. Company Theater at Paia was
too small for the crowd that sought
admittance last night. 1t was crowd
ed to capacity and there were crowds
all about it that could not get in. Sen
ator Baldwin spoke in his home COM
munity and John c. Lane and Sen
ators Wise and Desha had been hur-
ried back from MOlokai and motored
over from Lahaina to be there for the
meeting. Senator Rice and j. Garcia
were other speakers and the surprise
of the evening was when Antoine do
Rego took the platform in advocacy
of the election of Harry Baldwin.
Akoni "Paakai" said he was a demo
crat and had always been a Democrat
but this year it was different, there
was a Maui man running and that
man was Harry Baldwin and so he
