The Maui Annexation Club had
meeting ct Wailuku court house on the
evening Of Wednesday the 2Sth inst. in
order to discuss the political situation
and to meet delegate from the Ameri-
can Union Party, which delegate was
expected to arrive per W. q. Hall.
From advices il appears that the dele
gate will not visit Wailuku until next
week. Mr.. J. NJ. Kalua presided at the
meeting which adjourned after listening
TO several committee reports, and i'm
mediately formed itself into meeting
of the Waikiki branch OF the Maui An
nexation Club, presided over by Mr.. W.
A. Mckay. The chairman read q COM
munication from the temporary national
committee of the American Union
Party, requesting that the supporters of
the Provisional Government residing in
Wailuku district Immediately proceed
to the formation of District Club OF
that party, to cooperate with the main
body in Honolulu. 1t being deemed adj
visable to form such patriotic party, the
Waikiki Annexation Club meeting was
adjourned and Mr.. j. L. Dumas was
called to the chair to preside over a
meeting OF citizens Of Wailuku district.
A motion to adopt in toto the platform
OF the American Union Party immedi-
ately brought to his feet Mr.. G.. B.
Wells OF the Waikiki Sugar Company,
who offered AN amendment, quickly
seconded by Mr.. c. NJ. Waetow OF the
Waikee Sugar Company to strike out
Section V. OF the platform, substituting
therefore the Labor plank OF the de-
funct Union Party, favoring Asiatic
immigration under certain restrictions.
The amendment was vigorously opposed
and some reason for the inadvisability
OF adopting the same were advanced in
the remarks of Messrs. n. A. Mckay, j.
A. Moore, w. Goodness, S. f. Chilling
worth, George Hons and others. 1t was
firmly agreed that the adoption of this
very clause by the American Union
Party has been one of the principal
means OF preserving unity and restoring
harmony in the ranks OF the supporters
of the Government, and that this Club
cannot possibly obtain recognition from
the American Union Party unless it
adopts its platform as it stands. But
arguments proved of no avail and the
amendment was passed by majority OF
five, the same solid majority raising an
objection to the word American and
adopting the name OF Waikiki Union
Club. Upon proceeding to the election
of prominent officers the Club elected
Chairman, j. W. Kalua; vice chairman
q. Armstrong; secretary, w. I. Robin
son; treasurer, ID. l.. Meyers.
The selection of an executive COM
mittee was postponed till the next meet
ing OF the new club, as there was not
enough representative material present
to choose from. 1t may be added that
all those who voted against the amend.
ment offered took no further part in the
proceedings of the club and positively
refused any nominations from officers o
same.
There is but little doubt that the
members OF the new club must soon SEE
their mistake, especially when they fine
that recognition is denied them by th,
American Union party; and it is to b
wished that in order to restore perfec
themselves to support the platform o
the American Union party and its dull
nominated candidates Tor delegates +
the constitutional convention.
The defeated minority have not al
lowed any grass to grow under their fee
in the meantime. A meeting was ha
at the Bismarck Stables last evening +
organize a club of the american Unio
party" for the Waikiki district. MI
J. A. Moore presided, and on discussin
the question of immediate organization
more conservative counsel prevailed an
it was decided to defer any permanent
organizing until the arrival OF the Homo
lulu delegate, hoping that upon his al
rival all differences may be settled.
Mr. Geo. Hons, secretary, was in
structed by the meeting to submit t
the National Committee of the America
Union Party the following resolution:
WHEREAS, At a meeting held in til
Waikiki Court House on the evenin
of the 2Sth instant a majority of til
parties present voted in favor of an
organized club named the Wailuk
Union Club, adopting the platform {
the American Union Party, saving an
excepting section 5, in relation to I'll
prohibition Of Asiatic immigration, an
substituting for said Section V ii
clause in the platform of the form,
Union Party, approving of restrictt
immigration of Asiatics,
Therefore, the minority at that NEE
ing, being dissatisfied and refusing
endorse either the name or the platfor
of the club then formed, deemed it a
visable TO inform the National Cor
mittee of the American Union Par
that the said minority are unanimous
in favor of forming club of the Al
erican Union Party of the Wailul
district, adopting its platform in
entirety, and purpose awaiting the &
rival of MIR. @. l.. Carter, the delega
of the American Union Party, to avi
themselves OF his assistance in proper
