overthrow of the monarchy. and during
that time the love of my country and
my queen was the burden of my heart.
II was but a short time ago that We
were annexed to the United States Of
America. Immediately after this
change had taken place 1 considered
thoughtfully as to what political party
should pledge myself. After due con-
sideration l finally concluded TO ally
myself TO the Republican party because
IL is that party which has given us the
right to vote for our Senators and Rep
resentatives to legislate our laws. There
is no man. whether ne be a Republican
or Democrat, or even a foolish crea-
ture, who cannot say that he does not
love his country but the changes have
come and the question mooted is OF the
past. (Applause.)
ALLOW me TO say word about VII
cox. While We We're awaiting for the
restoration Of our queen I used to go
down 10 the wharf whenever a steamer
from the Coast was due and there I
would hear Wilcox say. why not join
with America At that time he seemed
20 favor annexation, but today he
would eXpound TO you the doctrines Of
Home Rule Can we rely upon such
a man? (ApplauseD We are an intel
ligent people, and let US show our intel
. lEtnts as Well as our honesty.
1t is right and proper that every man
should be independent of himself. 1t IS
not those who claim TO be independent
merely by word of mouth, but those
who are we'll provided and may supply
US in case Of need.
! 1t Is a good policy that we help and
vOuch for those who helped US, and If
We do not we will suffer. Ii you wish
your children TO secure a good educa-
ton and be worthy competitors with
their fellows, support the Republican
party. II you do not, we, your children,
/ will be like wandering animals on bar
rem plains.
/ 4 will not say anything against the
/ Democratic nor the Independent par
~, but 1 would leave the matter now to
each man among his fellows to support
the Republican party.
1t f. not right that we should ally
ourselves to the Independent party, for
search the whole United States there
. is no such party. 1t was our own weak
ness by stanchly clinging TO the Inde-
pendent party that has caused anneXa-
tiUr. II IS better that We ally ourselves
TO the strong party (the Republican,
and not 90 such a weak party. CAP
.plausc)
1T was not Wilcox who secured fol
US our franchise. II was an act Of
Congress which has provided US Will
the right 90 vote. (Applause.)
There have been three parties start

sDeCtively as the Kalaiaina. Aloha Aini

about the use Of the Hawaiian lauguag
