| N. ,. Mahaula, the first to speak. is
secretary OF the recently formed Waia-
lua Republican Club and a popular man
among his fellows. He told what the
republican party was, of its being the
strongest influence for fair play and an
honest ballot In the domain of Uncle

voice admirably adapted for public
speaking. Colonel 1aukea appealed 10
the Hawaiians to gain proper under
standing of Republcanism as opposed
10 Democracy. He said that the party
under whose banner the country. of
which Hawaii was now an integral
part. had been able to give TO the resi-
dents OF these Islands the advantages
which were to come under the Terri

allegiance OF the majority of the voters
of America.

natives TO know that under Republican

thoughtful governing power. which
would conserve their interests and
bring to them that prosperity which
has been enjoyed during the admins

ocratic party and the solid basal ideas
that should make Republicans hold the
loyalty OF every right thinking citizen.

necessity for immediate action. On Fri
day night there had been organized a
Waialua Republican Club. All were in

given an equal say in politics in that
district. Individual opinions were to

upon them by the franchise granted.
He begged his hearers TO mediate on
the matter and to make up their minds
to cast their lot with the Republican
party. His audience was deeply i'm
pressed. Several times the cry of "Ku-
koa' came from those that sat on the
lawn. IL is believed that in the course
