THE SENATORIAL TICKET
The voters of this senatorial district, the
fortunes have been made from the island's plan

' Among the score or so of speeches heard at
the Republican rally last Saturday night, none
were more to the point or more full; of what
should be the real spirit of this campaign than
those , of George F.( Renton, candidate for the
senate, and of W. T. Rawlins, who spoke partic
ularly on behalf of the candidacy of Robert Par
ker Waipa for -sheriff. Mr. Renton gave the
voters a rapid-fire glimpse of the platform and
pledged himself to help pass the legislation it
recommends. He told exactly . what he is cam
paigning for. Mr. Rawlins gave one illuminat
ing instance of Capt Parker's sterling devotion
to duty and pointed out exactly why he is the
kind of a man Honolulu can, well support for
sheriff.
Sheriff Jarrett's policemen were much in evi
dence at the Republican rally on Saturday
night, but not in the line of duty. They were
there in plain clothes to look and to listen. The
main portion of the crowd was orderly, but some
of the Democrats undertook to interrupt the
speakers, evidently to disturb the meeting.
