ARRIVES ON THE wAIALEALE
AND GOES AGAIN.
The Democratic Candidate for Congress
Registers and Then Takes the Mauna
Loa for Hilo.

The steamer Waialeale arrived at two
o'clock this morning with Prince David
on board and he is now duly registered
and on board the Mauna Loa returning
to Hawaii to resume the campaigning
that was so rudely interrupted by the
arrival of the Waialeale at Hilo on
Thursday.
The Waialeale got to Hilo at about
two o'clock in the afternoon, Hilo was
in the midst of enjoying the first lively
politics of the year and there were vari-
GUS luaus planned for the evening to
follow. The Prince had a lot of en-
gagements for the evening and rather
than disappoint the good Democrats
who wanted to hear him speak he de-
cided to stay till the last moment. The
steamer left Hilo at one o'clock on
Thursday morning, the object being to
get here in time so that the candidate
could register and catch the Mauna
Loa on the return.
Last night number of the Demo-
cratic party leaders waited at the
headquarters listening anxiously for
news that the Waialeale was sighted.
There was more than day to spare,
but they We're nevertheless impatient
to hear that the Prince had really
reached Honolulu in time to qualify as
candidate. The Waialeale was sight
ed off Diamond Head at about o'clock,
but she was not recognized then, and
most of the Democrats who had been
waiting went home without knowing
that their chief candidate had come to
time.
When the Waialeale reached Hilo,
Prince David was at Honomu and was
just about to speak at mass meeting.
Bert Colburn got in communication
with him and delivered his message, so
important to the Unterrified of Homo
lulu. David replied that he must finish
the meetings, so the Waialeale waited.
The Prince then went to Hilo where an
other meeting had been arranged at the
fish market. There another speech was
delivered.
The Waialeale did not arrive until
early this morning. At 9 o'clock a meet
ing of the Democratic central commit
tee was held at headquarters at which
all arrangements for qualifying their
man was made. David registered at 10
o'clock. His petition was then pre-
pared and will be filed early tomorrow
morning. His name on the official
ticket will read as follows: David Ka-
wananakoa (Prince David)." This was
one of the things decided at the meet
ing.
Of the situation on Hawaii Prince Da.
vid said; Il have no fears for myseli
nor for the Democratic ticket on the
island of Hawaii. 1t seems clear to me
that we will win. 1 feel sure we will
beat Wilcox all over the island and as
for Sam Parker-well, you know, Sam
really is a good fellow. My campaign
has been to Illustrate the work of VIII
cox among the Hawaiians and believe
I have succeeded
A spokesman for David is authority
for the statement that following the
mass meetings held by the young ali
on Hawaii there was a landslide from
Wilcox into both of the regular parties
The prince appealed to them to join one
or the other of the great parties as
their only means of holding their own
David took the Mauna Loa at II
o'clock and returned to Hawaii tc
districts he will go to Maui and finally
| back to Honolulu.
