you wish to send anything to Waialua
you will have to pay s. ton to send

tation pays - Is ton. Is this right?
l tell you If you use your ballot right,
these robbers. these haoles, will no
longer be rich. There will be no rich
and no poor. All will be equal. There
are three parties today, the Republi-
cans, whom 1 might liken to a huge
octopus (here the translator was at a
loss for the right word until someone
suggested a squid) grown fat off of you
who would not have put single native
on their ticket If they could have
helped 1t. But they put natives on to
catch votes merely. Then there are
the Democrats, who claim to be the
poor mans party, and they always will
! be-
The third, the Home Rule party, is
for equality. | was called into a con-
sultation of your party today to de-
eide on those who are not solid Inde-
pendents, whether they should be kept
on our ticket, and l am glad to say
that the majority voted to throw them
out. He who is not for us is against
/ us. If they cannot stand on our plat
form they should get off. We cannot
support Republicans and Democrats as
well as the independents Cast your
whole strength, give your ballot, which
is to give you your rights, which is to
make you poor no longer, to the indie
| pendent party
do not lend your support to the Re
| publicans, Democrats and other rats
who are not running on the Independ-
ent platform. There is report about
| town that the Republicans see there
| is no other way to win, so are sending
ribbons and gin and whisky all over,
and you are to be made drunk on the
day before election and kept drunk
until you cannot cast your ballot.
Throw this gin from you as you would
devil. Stay sober and cast your bal
lot for the right. In that ballot is your
hope"

ing, October 18th, and it was unani-

Mr.. George Markham, Secretary indie
pendent Home Rule Party.
Sir-Receipt of your letter of even
date is hereby acknowledged. l note
that my nomination by the convention !
of your party as Senator for the Third
District, unsolicited by me, was "unani- !
mously revoked" at a meeting of the +,
executive committee OF your party held !,
this morning, and the reason for this |
action was my conduct at a meeting |
of the Democratic party held at the
Orpheum on Monday evening last
| am given to understand by members !
of the executive committee that the |
particular offense / am charged with at |
that meeting was the support of David |
Kawananakoa, as delegate to Congress
at Washington. | am only pleased that
the sole charge you make against me
is loyalty to the Hawaiian alii, who in
my opinion, is the fitting and proper
person TO represent sober minded and
Hawaiians at Washing

Thanking you for the action your
committee has taken, which is quite IN
harmony with my letter to the nomi-
mating convention of your party, and
which relieves me from an awkward
position, | remain, very truly yours,
