prominent local leader of the Hawaii
ans said to IA representative of the Trib-
une on Monday: at is the general opin-
will stand by, that they should not take
sides with either of the old line parties
a.; against the other. Their interests are
almost entirely local, and many OF them
concern the Hawaiians peculiarly: they
will stand on platform framed to meet
these Issues and distinct by name from
either Republican or Democrat, though
wherever the platform OF either comedies
in spirit and principle with ours wo shall
be glad to cooperate with them in the
work. We are going to stand for local
sof-govcrnment first, last and all the
time and we are anti-Dole to a man. We
are drawing the race line in nominations
and 1t has been fully agreed not to nomi-
nate any white man for any position
Territorial Delegate. Senate or House.
There was good deal of discussion over
this question, and even Wilcox wanted
to have DR.. of Olaa nominated for
the House. But 1t was the opinion of the
majority that there should be no excep-
tions. and this will be rigldly adhered to-
I'm that case" sad the reporter, Mr..
Loebenstein will not receive the nomina-
ton of your party for the Senate"
mo; nor will any man, of Hawaiian
blood even, who is allied with either of
the regular parties"
Don't you think" said the interview
er that this Chinese Wall style of ex-
clusiveness will result disastrously for
you in the end, and that 1t would be
wiser TO drop such immaterial differences
as color and anti-haole feelings of retail
alton for what you consider, perhaps
justly, as oppression and wrongful dis
fianchisement, and work with the large
political element among the white people.
who are just as anxious as you for local
self-government and just as strongly OPP
posed to any further continuance of the
Dole regime?'
No" was the reply. I'VE can control
votes enough to elect our men anyhow"
He evidently missed the point.

PlIIoNUA LANDS.
HlLO. Hawaii, August 23.-The Herald
says: DR.. Maxwell and Wray Taylor
came up last week for the purpose of In
vestigating the character of Piihonua
lands relative to the application of the
Hllo Portuguese Mil Company for great
er acreage of land for cane. 1t is under
stood that after an examination of the
forests Prof. Maxwell favored the appll-
cation. The mill company has lease
from John Il. Baker for all the Piihonua
lands excepting certain kuleanas, hut the
Government law forbids their clearing
more than certain area without first
obtaining permission of the Government.
so far this permission has been with
held, but 1t is probable that Mr.. Taylor
will join with Prof. Maxwell in granting
the application made by the mill COM
nany.
