THE DEMOCRAT VOL. I HONOLULU, T. H., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1910. No. 11 ut ja2L A PLAIN STATEMENT OF DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE The Democrats tiro not, us the Re- publicans and their paid press try to make out, opposed to sugar-plantin- g as an industry, nor are they trying to destroy that industry. They recognize, as most everybody in the Islands does, that for the present, at least, sugar is the backbone of the industrial and com- mercial prosperity of the Territory, and they want to see that industry flourish and continue to pay dividends. But what the Democratic party does not want is to see King Sugar contin- ued oil his throne as an Absolute Mon- arch. The Democrats do not want to permit all the inhabitants of these Isl- ands to be always ground beneath the iron heel of the sugar-plante- r. They want the sugar interests to have jus- tice, but they also believe in guarantee- ing justice to those who are not fortu- nate enough to have their safe-depos- it boxes full of sugar certificates. Sugar is King now in Hawaii and probably for some years to come sugar will continue to be the chief product of Hawaii. But sugar will not always dominate. Other industries are spring- ing up and getting a firm foothold in the Islands and some day they are go- ing to come into their own. There is no reason for harming the sugar interests, so long as they behave themselves properly, so long as they are willing to permit other industries to flourish, so long as the sugar-planter- s do not try to grab everything in sight and ask for more. But the Democratic party does de- mand a square deal for everybody, for the man who plants a little taro on his kuleana as well as for the plantation owner whose profits run into many fig- ures, for the poor Hawaiian as well as for the rich haole, and for the poor haole as well as for the arrogant cor- poration. The Democratic party stands first of all for a Square Deal, for equal Says the Bulletin: "The man who shoots to protect the integrity of his home commits no crime against good morals. And Honolulu is not lacking the need for lessons of this character." The Bulletin is just the alleged news- paper that one might expect to stand for the cowardly packing of a gun by a man who is coward enough to have to pack a gun. But perhaps the Bulletin is taking into consideration the fact that no man can hope for justice while a man of the caliber of Joint AV. Cath-ca- rt is city and county attorney. Per- haps Ihe Bulletin is merely the general lack of confidence in John W. Cathcart, the prosecuting officer whose duty it is to see that the law is enforced and to prosecute in such cases as it is violated. If, on account of the fact that the city and county has a chief prosecuting officer who condones rape, winks at criminal assaults on little girls, and considers a year in jail on a vagrancy charge sufficient punishment for the most hideous crime that a man can com li'Ci'Ai-u.- ui tuny ity-jw'yji&yfertr- ; K rights to all and special privileges to none! Sugar is entitled to a square deal the same as any other business, hut it is entitled to no more than is ac- corded to all others. The Democratic party opposes assist- ed immigration not because it is fa- vored by the Republican party, not be- cause the sugar interests want it. not as a political measure, but because the Democratic party and those who wear the insignia of Democracy sincerely be- lieve that assisted immigration is bad for the ultimate good of the Territory, that in the end it will prove disastrous, that even today it is unwise and cer- tainly unfair to the laborers now resi- dent in Hawaii. If it can be honestly demonstrated that assisted immigration will result in the ultimate advancement of Hawaii, that it will help not only the sugar in- terests but all the other interests of the Territory, that it will better social, commercial, financial and moral condi- tions in these Islands then the Demo- crats will be willing to stand for it and they will cease to oppose it. It is nonsense to say that becattse a man is a Democrat or a Republican or a Home Ruler, he is either a fool or a knave. Only the Bulletin would be guilty of anything so inanely vicious. The Democratic party recognizes that the rank and file of the Republican par- ty is entirely honest, that the Republi- can voters vote the Republican ticket from conviction, that they are as good men as if they were Democrats. But the Democrats believe, and believe sin- cerely, that the Republicans are mis- taken. They want to convert them, and they believe that they have con- verted enough of them to make the coming election a Democratic landslide. As to the Republican leaders but let them rest. It is well to speak no ill of the dead ! Requiescant in pace ! THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YESTERDAY'S GRIME expressing mit, it is considered necessary for hus- bands and fathers to carry revolvers to preserve the integrity of their homes, then crimes such as the one committed yesterday on one of the principal busi- ness corners of Honolulu are to be ex- pected and it is time that a new city and county attorney were elected. It is time that criminal assaults on little girls were stopped. It is time that se- rious offenses were punished in accord- ance with their seriousness. It is time that affairs of the Lnne kind were brought to an end. It is time we had a prosecuting officer that can be trusted to do his duty. The voters all know what kind of a man John AV. Cathcart is. They know who is really responsible for the corrup- tion of homes, the defiling of little girls, the gun-pla- y on the streets of the city. John AV. Cathcart must bo defeated and a man who can be depended upon must be put in his place. A vote for AATade AVarren Thayer is a vote for de- cency, honesty and justice. McCLELLAN'S POSITION ON Editor Democrat: Repeated statements, both oral and written, have been made to the effect that I have been an obstructionist while a member of the present Board of Su- pervisors, in that I have opposed the paving of Port Street. In reply to these statements, I wish to declare that I have been, and am now, in favor of a permanent pavement in the down- town district, and of Fort Street es- pecially. My opposition was grounded on business reasons, as will be evidenc- ed hereafter. The mainland representatives of the Bitulithic Pavement Company, while in Honolulu some time ago, told the Mayor that the business of his concern Avas primarily the sale of paving plants, and that it was prepared to sell such to any person, corporation or municipality as might care to buy one. It is only ne- cessary to refer to numerous advertise- ments which appear in the leading en- gineering and technical journals throughout the United States to prove this, and such is direct contradiction to the assertion of the local agent of the . paving company referred to above, that if the county wanted the bitulithic pav- ement, they could obtain it only through a contract with his company, and that the county could not get com- petitive bids on this class of pavement. Furthermore, in a court decision in Chicago involving an ordinance to im- prove a street with bitulithic pavement, the court held that the two-inc- h wear- ing surface is only a part of the whole improvement, and that, although this material is patented, yet, since the right to use it is open by purchase to all, com- petition is not barred by specifying this pavement. I believe that all pav- ing contracts should be let out on bids, and that no one company or agency should enjoy a monopoly in this line. At a meeting of the Board on May 17, I submitted data showing where this very pavement was being laid in sev- eral cities in the United States at from two dollars 1o two dollars and twenty-fiv- e cents per square yard' on a four and five inch concrete foundation ; whereas, under the Bitulithic Paving Company's proposed contract the County would have to pay three dollars per square yard, and that with a mere six inch rock fill foundation, the county to do the grading and sell this company the rock at a loss of twenty cents per cubic yard at the quarry. Since then I have secured figures from Portland, Oregon, showing that bitulithic pavement is being laid in that city at a' cost of $1.85 per square yard on a five inch concrete foundation. ISLAND' OF HAWAII IS Advices have been received by Chair- man Charles McCarthy of the Demo- cratic Campaign Committee from one of the most prominent Republicans on the Island of Hawaii, to the effect that Kuhio will be completely snowed under on, that .Island. Kona is solid for McCandless, he says. Kohala is lost by the Republi- cans. In Kau McCandless has every- thing his own way, and in all other PAVINC QUESTION Figuring on 5500 square yards, I also showed where the county could import a Goodwin bituminous mixing plant from Chicago, or a plant from the Link Belt Company in the same city, and lay down this pavement at a much less price than the bitulithic, even including the cost of the plant, which, of course, the county would own and which would be available for future work ; while, under the contemplated contract, repair work would have to be done through this company at a price fixed at the time of signing the contract, thereby prevent- ing the county from taking advantage of any better price which might be quoted in the future by competitors for doing such repair work, or from doing the work itself. I also opposed the projected paving ordinance because of the condition of county finances. At that time, I pre- sented figures to the Board showing them the state of the county finances, and pointed out to them that it would run short of money were the county to indebt itself through a large paving contract. The contention which I made at that time has since been borne out by facts. Even without incurring this pav- ing expense, the supervisors have had to make heavy retrenchments on all road work, and the same demand con- fronts them at this moment. At the rate at which the board is spending money, it will find itself facing a short- age of from five to six thousand dollars at the end of the term, unless expenses are curtailed during November and De- cember. Besides this, the Board has spent all the license tax fund a sum of $65,000. One-hal- f this amount, or $32,500, should have been left over for the incoming board, unless they arc expected to do as efficient work as the old board with the handicap of a large shortage at the beginning of their term. With this de- ficiency, and the fact that the road tax money will no) be available until the middle of March even with the clean-u- p at the end of this period and the amount which will be allotted the new board by the Territorial audi- tor there will not be enough funds to carry on the business of the county for the next six months in accordance with established precedents and appropria- tions. Such condition hardly warrants a large further expenditure at this time. In other words, I favor the paving of Ihe down-tow- n district, but not at this time, nor at the price, nor in the man- ner advocated by the paving company above referred to. AV. II. McCLELLAN.

THE DEMOCRAT

INCONSISTENCIES OF

REPUBLICAN ORGAN

Editor Democrat:In his "soapbox" speech yesterday T.

J. Ryan said:"The Advertiser comes out this morn-

ing defending Bill Aylett in a wholecolumn headed: LIAR I LIAR! LIAR!LIAR ! LIAR ! LIAR !

Now I say to you that the Republi-cans started this kind of a dirty cam-

paign and are keeping it up to the dis-

gust of all decent citizens of all parties."We furnish the evidence to back up ev-

ery statement wo make on behalf of theDemocrats, and here is the evidence toback up this statement:

"Harmony Around a Festive Board,"that is the heading of a two-colum- n ar-

ticle in the Advertiser (Sept. 15. 1910),in which was related all the do-

ings which occurred at a lunu given forall the candidates, officers of the con-

vention, and all the candidates whowere defeated. Colonel Sam Parkerpresided and Kuhio was one of theprincipal guests. Among other things,the following is reported:

THE SHORT AND UGLY.

" 'Billy' Iloogs, when called upon,arose with alacrity and proceeded to de-

liver an exposition of the motives ofLink McCandless as he saw them.

he said, is always posing asthe great friend of the Ilawaiians andis always ready to shed tears over them.But McCandless' motives are purelyselfish. All he thinks of is himself, andall he loves the Ilawaiians for is be-

cause the Hawaiian is honest, trustingand unsophisticated enough to believethat what McCandless says is the truth.

" 'McCandless is a liar,' said Hoogs,'when he says he is working for the in-

terests of the Ilawaiians. All he isworking for is himself. I understandhe is getting rid of all his sugar stock,so that whatever happens he will besafe.' Hoogs went on to state that hedid not believe McCandless to be sin-

cere in his views on the immigrationquestion. Further, he said that al-

though McCandless has given ten thou-sand dollars to the Democratic cam-paign fund, and it will take a lot ofmoney to beat him, the money will beforthcoming and it will not come fromany one man, but from the rank and fileof the Republican party. Iloogs wasroundly applauded throughout his fieryspeech. "When he sat clown, ChairmanParker called on the Delegate, who hadonce before refused to speak."

In the speech then made by Kuhio hedid not deprecate the exhibition of ruf-fianism displayed by Hoogs. It appearsthat the ruffianism only pleasedKuhio. If such ruffianism was applaud-ed by thoughtless people at a "soap-box" meeting in the street it wouldscarcely be worthy of any comment,but mind you, this was a select, invitedgathering of the active participants inthe Republican convention the creamof the G. 0. P., in Hawaii. They sataround that festive board and applaud-ed Hooligan Iloogs, when he made state-ments about McCandless professing anunusual love for Ilawaiians when Mc-

Candless has never made any such pro-fession; when he stated that McCand-less had contributed ten thousand dol-lars to the Democratic campaign fund,which he has neither contributed noragreed to contribute.

You need only go to the files of theAdvertiser and you will find that for along time back, previous to the com-

mencement of this campaign, month inand mouth out, week in and week out,day in and day out, the Advertiser hasmost viciously berated Bill Aylett,Charlie Achi, Willie Crawford, JohnWise, and many others as "UndesirableCitizens" very undesirable.

But since the opening of this cam

paign the Advertiser is not only readyand willing, but is anxious to defendthem.

Let the press say what it will, we arenot going to stand around here idlewhile Bill Aylett or anyone else uttersdeliberate falsehoods and personal in-

sults. "We claim that every citizen hasthe right to differ with us as to the per-

sonal merits of our candidates or thesoundness of our platform and politicaldoctrine. To those we not only offerevery opportunity to be heard, but weguarantee respectful attention, and atall times we are glad to have the issuesfairly and freely discussed, but to sub-

mit to personal insults from hiredthugs sent out by the Republican Cam-

paign Committee is quite another prop-osition.

A section of the public press is no lessrespectable. "We see the Calf and theMother of Blind Pigs drink at the sameslop-barr- el and lie down together on thedung-hea- p in peace and harmony. Theirowners, the Sugar Interests, have a henon just now, and have ordered thatthere shall bo no racket in their ownbarnyard. OBSERVER.

GATHGART'S RECORD

SHOULD DEFEAT HIM

"I stand on niy record," declaresJohn "W. Cnthctirl, city and county at- -

torncy, and aspirant for reelection tothe position he has disgraced. "I standon my record ! ' '

It is the most shameless statementmade by any candidate during the pres-ent campaign. His record, forsooth!John AV. Cathcart actually has the

uudacity to boast of thethings he has done since he has been inoffice ! He stands upon his record !

What is that record?It would be too tiresome a proceed-

ing to try to rehearse it all, but a fewincidents may be mentioned as illustra-tive of the manner in which John "W.

Cathcart has carried out the duties ofhis office.

John AV. Cathcart is the official,sworn to enforce the laws justly, whoby refusing to prosecute a human fiendfor a criminal assault upon a little girl,contenting himself merely with havingthe wretch sentenced for vagrancy tosave him from Avorse punishment, alliedhimself with the forces of evil and putthe brand of his approval upon the mosthideous crime that can be committed.

John AV. Cathcart is the prosecutingofficer whose integrity was so question-ed by the grand jury that he was askedto retire from the grand jury roomwhile the inquisitors were discussingthe matter of the crime above men-

tioned.John AV. Cathcart as city and county

attorney has more nolle prosequis to hiscredit or discredit than he has pros-

ecutions.John AV. Cathcart, in a speech to the

voters a few nights ago, made the claimthat his office has a higher percentageof convictions, for prosecutions conduct-ed, than any other prosecuting office inthe United States. Perhaps but JohnV. Cathcart has been very chary in his

prosecutions and his office has in manycases prosecuted for minor crimes whenthe offense warranted prosecution forfelonies as witness the Lane case.

Over John AV. Cathcart and his office

has hung a shadow of suspicion eversince lie has been city and county attor-ney. It is true that neither he nor anyof his deputies have ever been convictedof crookedness but neither have theyever cleared themselves of the suspicionthat has for so long attached to theirconduct of the public business.

John AV. Cathcart stands on his rec-

ord ! That is just where the Democratswant him to stand just where they willinsist upon his standing! His record isenough to defeat thd whole Republicanticket, for his presence on the ticketmakes the whole of it smell bad.

John AV. Cathcart stands on his rec-

ord ! He hasn't even the grace to prom-

ise to reform. He intimates, by hisstatements, that, if reelected to office,he will continue to go on in the same

old way and the city and county attor-ney's office will continue to be an of-

fense to the nostrils of decent peopleand a disgrace to the community.

John AV. Cathcart stands upon hisrecord and upon that record he oughtto be defeated.

Advertiser please copy.

REPUBLICANS DEPEND ON

LIES AND THEFT

"If we can get votes by lying orstealing, we will do it."

This remarkable but .entirely truthfulstatement was made on the stand a fewnights ago by Bill Aylett, one of theRepublican henchmen and one of theridiculous Republican supervisors Avho,

ever since he took office, has been adisgrace to the city and county of Ho-

nolulu.Bill, as a Republican, is in some ways

remarkable. For instance, he hasn'tany more sense than to tell the truthon some occasions a remarkable de-

parture from Republican ethics. Andwhenever Bill does speak the truth, heseriously injures his party.

Of course they will get votes by ly-

ing and stealing if they can. That, infact, is about the only way they can ex-

pect to get many votes. If the voterswere told the truth by them, is it at allprobable that there would be anyheavy Republican vote?

The truth is what the Republicansmost fear, and when one of their ownmen so far forgets himself as to speak it,there is consternation in Republicanranks.

"If we can get votes by lying or steal-ing, we will do it."

There you are. That is Republican-ism. Are you going to stand for it?Are the voters of Hawaii going to putup with tin-hor- n politicians who ac-

knowledge that their stock in trade islies and theft?

It is up to the voters.

THE HOOKWORM'S

FAKE WIRELESS

A fake "wireless" was published inthe Advertiser yesterday, probablyhaving been written in the office of theAdvertiser or else contributed by someunreliable but nevertheless welcomefaker who recently arranged with theAdvertiser for a fake.

The falsified message states that theDemocrats admit that Kuhio is safe bya small majority on AVest Hawaii.

The fact is that wireless messageshave been received from AVest Hawaiito the effect that Kuliio has lost thatsection and that AVest Hawaii will giveMcCandless a majority, and the inter-esting phase of the situation is that theAdvertiser knows the latter statementto be correct and knows its own pub- -

JAOK S.W. H. McOLELLANWM. P. JARRETTS. H. TRENT

lished story to be untrue.This is one of the canards the Adver-

tiser itself pretended to warn votersagainst in an idiotorial the other dayand which alleged warning The Demo-crat so successfully exposed.

The laugh is on the Advertiser andon the fake correspondent, in or out ofthe Advertiser office, whose inconsist-ency is exceeded only by his prevaricat-ing propensities.

ELECTION TO SHOW

DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH

Listen to this splendid exhibition ofconscienceless nerve appearing in theAdvertiser yesterday: "While everyindication now points to practically aclear sweep for the Republicans in Oa-h- u

on Tuesday next, it is well to remem-ber that there is nothing so uncertainas an election, except it be a horserace."

The only saving- - grace about thestatement is the admission that theelection is uncertain as far as the Re-

publicans arc concerned. Sort of anapology and a boast rolled into one, isit not?

First the Advertiser boasts in thefirst of the sentence that "every indi-cation points to practically a cleansweep" and then the same Hookworm,alias the Advertiser, declares that"there is nothing so uncertain".

The Republicans are filled withalarm. They are as full of fear as amonkey is of mischief. They hope toget a few candidates elected, but as faras their having any certainty as to theoutcome is concerned, they are no moresure of victory than the Advertiser isof facts.

Democrat this time glance overthe situation and with modesty declarethat this election is going to returnmore Democrats to office than ever hap-

pened before at any two elections puttogether.

The Democrats going to get mostthe county offices, if not all, and

their strength is going to mightilymanifest the legislature.

The Advertiser makes two statementsa breath, and the most significant

these statements is that it is afraid.

THE PEPPER POT

The Bulletin's fine thesedays, thank you.

The thug-bu- g, a more dangerous an-

imal even than the kissing bug or thesewing-bee- , has gotten into the Bulletinoffice and is chewing blackface scare-line- s

faster than people understandthem. AVho's loony now?

There will another sugar barrelopened at the Judd building on Satur-day. Come early and avoid the rush.Line forms on Merchant street side.Barrels will get bigger as election daygets nearer.

The Advertiser notes the fact thatThe Democrat has trapped a bunchlies. Yep, they're easy to catch thesedays. They're so tame you walkright to the very biggest andnail

Here's a peachy word combination in-

vented by the Bulletin: "Tammany-Makino-Ru- ef

system," prob-

ably standing for Too Much Republi-canism. They've planted a local Japa-nese druggist's name behveen Tam-

many and the Ruef. Such piffle isn'targument, though it may amuse.
