He lias addressed meetings from Kekaha to Haualei, and the atten dance and enthusiasm shown a each indicated more strongly than words that this is a united Rice community. At each individual meeting place, without exception, the attendance was larger bv far than both the Kuhio and Carter meetings combined in the same precincts, while the enthusiasm was incomparably greater. In fact it may be said that Rice has taken the island bv storm, carrying ev erything else before him. KEKAHA TO WAIMEA The meeting at Kekaha was held in front of the plantation office at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon and was largely attended. It is said that foujKifths of those present were voters, which made the meeting all the more satisfactory. At Waimen the biggest crowd the old town has seen in many a day turned out at 7. m. to hear Mr. Rice and the speakers of his party. This was also a "voters gathering," and from the enthusi 4m shown and expressions heard it was a Rice meeting from end to . en'1, ' A feature of this meeting was a voluntary address by W. O. Crow eil one of the most influential Ha waiian of the district. Crowell is interested in a bill which passed the last legislature and was sent on to Delegate Kuhio, providing for an electric franchise down there. When Kuhio was in Waimea a couple of weeks ago, Crowell asked him what had become of that bill, as he had not heard of it lately, and was astounded to have the Delegate say he did't nou there was such a bill This, despite the fact that Crowell and everybody else - ooicerned knew that Kuhio had received the bill for presentation n Congress! Crowell told all lbout the matter in the meeting. AnMiPr thine he told about was this: A few years ago when in; Washington. Queen Limiokaiani wrote to Crowell and told him that a man by his name had died short ly befpre in the east, leaving heirs ; Wnwnii. Crowell had every rea son, to believe that he was one of the heirs referred to, anu wrote to xr,,i,ir, nhnnt it. Kuhio never even acknowledged the letter, and the only thing he turoweu; ever re ceived back was a bill from some Washington lawyer for $25.00 "Of course," said Crowell, "these are purely personal matters and I do not state them to influence your votes, but merely to show i, T nnrsonallv have lost confi- Kuhio and cannot under any circumstances support him. I will vote for Charles A. Rice, a man whom I know will take care of our interests." MAKAWELI AND ELEELE The meeting in Makaweli was held t 4:30 Saturday afternoon-a bad day and a bad hour, but the crowd was very satisfactory never i,..1pc! Krom there the party hur- ril nn to Eleele where a big crowd imd onthered in the Park theater nt fi-in r. m. This was a very en thusiastic meeting, applause fre quently greeting the remarks of the speakers. KOLOA' S BIG MEETING At 7:30 in the evening a rousing meeting was held from the veran da of the Koloa Plantation store, ,.rirMriiio the nark, which had Jllmninnted and decorated for the occasion. The grounds at either side were crowded and automobiles filled the fronting roadways, Hen rv fV Snnldinc nresided and intro duced the speakers, consisting of William Mossman, Rev. J. A. Aki Coutinued on page 8 LEAVITT-HASTIE The most important social event for sometime came oft" lasc Wed nesday evening at Eleele High lands when Miss Mable Hastic, daughter of Mrs. William Hastie, became the bride of Captain George Baker Leavitt, manager if the Ka uai Railroad. The house decorations, which were under the direction and help of Mrs. Frank Alexander, were beautiful. At one end of the lanai, which had been covered with bamboo, was a pirasol lined with white flowers and covered with maile hung from the ceiling Radiating from the top of this great strands of fern were taken to the wall and at intervals hung to the floor in graceful lines. The strands were held in place some distance from the floor by bunches o f white flowers. At half past eight, Reverend C. D. Millikcu, foil )wed bv Captain Leavitt and his best man, Mr. Charles Dillingham, entered the fairy bower. A few minutes later, to the strains of Lohengrin's wed ding march, played on the organ bv Miss Melicent Waterhouset sis ter of Dr. Waterhouse, of Koloa, Miss Janet Hastie, as maid of hon or, entered, dressed in blue crepe de chine trimmed with pearls and carrying white daisies, The bride followed and was beautiful in her wedding gown of ivory white crepe meteor, entrain with lace and pearl trimmings. Over the bride's handsome gown fell a long veil, caught with sprays of orange blos som and white heather. The hea ther, which is a good luck omen, was sent by the bride's uncle from Scotland and came from the royal train while it was touring that country. The only ornament worn by the bride was a platinum and pearl necklace, the gift of the groom. Bride roses and sweet elyssium, forming a shower were carried. The short but impressive cere mouy ended and congratulations and good wishes were showered on the groom and his bride by their many friends, after which all re paired to the spacioui dining-room, which had been decorated in pink and green. Great strands of fern hung from the center light to the four corners of the room, where they hung to the floor. The bride's table stood in the center of the room. Above it hung a large flower basket caught with pink tulle and from it trailed pink Mexican creeper and maiden hair fern. From the basket to the table were tour strands of pink tulle caught with bows at the corners. Small tables scattered about the room had center pieces of small baskets filled with ' pink flowers and ferns and tied with pink tulle. Large vases of pink asters stood about the room. After the salad course the bride rose and cut her beautiful wedding cake, which was done in green and white with silver. The cake was then removed and at the end of the supper was brought back in small boxes which were giv en to the guests. In a room off the dining room the many and beautiful gifts con sisting of cut glass and silver were displayed. Captain and Mrs. Leavitt, (the going away gown of the latter be ing Copenhagen blue crepe mete or) escaped with all good wishes through showers of confetti and paper streamers Some Stock Prices Following are some of the more interesting stock prices at Honolu lu at the opening of the Stock Ex change this morning: Hawaiian Sugar, $32 bid; $35 asked.
