ADVICE OF WILCOX.

NV 4 vi wv " ~
FILIATE WITH THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY MAY DO so. FOR YOU MUST
REMEMBER THAT WAS THE PAR
TY THAT GAVE YOU THE MOST
LIBERAL FRANCHISE"
This statement made by Robert Will
cox in his speech at Waikiki is an
honest admission of fact carrying with
1t recommendation and suggestion
whic hevery honest voter desiring the
welfare of the Territory and its pep
pie should follow. Robert Wilcox him
self has given his followers words or
advice that should cause them to vote
for Samuel Parker as Territorial dele
gate and support the entire Republic
can ticket.
That which every citizen Of this Ter
ritory cherishes, the perfect freedom of
every man to cast his ballot for repre-
resentatives who shall make the laws
and protect the rights of the people was
granted Hawaii by the Republican par
ty. Having granted this privilege the
Republican party for all time will pro-
tert II against attack from those uphold
ing minority rule as exemplified by the
manipulation Of The Democrats in the
South.
Wilcox admits the fallacy and weak
ness of the arguments used in the III
terests of his Home Rule party, when
in the same speech be states that IL was
Democratic Congressman who advis-
ed him to organize the Home Rule par
| ty.
And who is the Congressman whose
advice Wilcox follows and asks others
to follow?
II is David Edward Finley. a Demo-
crat, OF Yorkville, South Carolina; a
Southern Democrat from a section II
the country where the Democratic party
has used all schemes known to corrupt
politicians, to disfranchise citizens Of
the United States. The Congressman
whom Wilcox follows is part and par
Gel Of that political organization which
Wilcox himself admits is not to be
trusted. II Finley is capable of SET
ting aside the constitution Of the Unit
| ed States, II he boldly and openly
stands for refusing to American citi-
zens the right of franchise, why should
his advice then be accepted by the peo-
pie of Hawaii Why should he advise
| the people of this Territory to form IN
Independent Home Rule party, II not
that by such action they would dis
credit themselves before the American
people and become an easy mark fo-
those seeking to secure laws to restric.
the franchise.
Knowing that the Republican party
gave Hawaiians the right OF franchise,
why should Wilcox take a political
course outlined for him by Southern
Democrat.
How the Democrats of the South ride
rough shod over the rights Of the peo-
pie is set forth by United States Sena-
tor Pritchard Of North Carolina, the
State adjoining the home of the Con-
gresham whose advice Wilcox accep's
Every voter of this Territory should
read the facts set forth by Senator
Pritchard, bearing in mind that the
Republican party gave Hawaii - :ber-
al franchise, and that Wilcox's Home
Rule party is the product Of recon-
mendation made by Southern Demo-
crat 1t was to defeat such men as Sen
ator Pritchard, Republican, that the
Democrats of North Carolina amended
its constitution DISTINGUISHING a major
ity OF Its citizens. With the object OF
restricting the power Of the Hawaiian
people in Congress, Democratic Con.
gresham Finley urged upon Wilcox
to start an Independent party, thereby
hoping to defeat the Republican prin.
ciple Of free franchise for all American
citizens.
II Robert Wilcox follows the logical
and sensible conclusion of his owl
statements he will vote for Samuel per,
ker as Hawaii's first Delegate.
