.eve IL IS the duty of every Hawaiian
- see that we approve and admire all
lie actions OF President Mckinley dur
lLg the last two or three years. In
reading the newspapers OF this town
| find this out. There are two ways
The newspapers express an opinion. /
an sorry 10 say that one OF the news
papers of this town misleads the Ha-
Salians in this government. 1t will
.nislead most OF the Hawalians, but
.ot myself. Llughter.) | be ieve we
,hou.d try to educate the Hawaiians in
he proper way, because | admit for
AyGe.f, and | believe for all the Ha-
Haiian people, that neither | nor they
Know much about the political affairs
II the United States. 1 ask AL you

Judge --epoikai followed Mr.. Achi.
IN teIse, eloquent language, he stated
lis position. He said;
why should | not be Republican?
When | was approached upon my ar
n Hs tn In q
o what sand | might take IN politics |
tod them | was a Republicans Re
.uDncan because | know that a Repub- |
lean Congress has given US the right |
u suffrage. | am only sorry TO say
nat | don't see many Hawaiians here
.oAlght. | am CAD TO see that there |
de newspaper reporters here, though, |
hat may report what | may say Tor
Ilysei, and what | propose TO do when |
so back 10 Maui. When | was asked |
,estelday what | thought of the Re
,ub-ican party, | told the man who
.sked me II was 20 all intents dead |
AIRY to the Hawalians; that 1t was the |
democratic party that would take in |
ne Hawalians. The Hawaiians sent
heir commissioners to the United
J.ales; these came back and mlsled |
ne Hawalians by saying that annex
.tion was dead and that restoration
YOU'D come. They are still waiting for
nat. / believe II Is best Tor the Ha-
waiian peop.e to join hand in hand
md work for the Republican parry. 1t
) the party that has annexed the
.ountry and has no doubt brought sta
Jility into this community, and in !
ime capital will be safely enlisted. |
there won't be any such things as up

more especially after kepoikai has |
Jeen up before me. If | had known |
