Col. Mccarthy. on calling the meet
ing to order, said this rally was for
hearing some candidates from the 9TH
er islands and candidates Of Oahu who
had been campaigning outside.
vo;.. Mr.. Clark was the first
from speaker. He said that
Maui. when a member Of the
Aloha Alma in 1898 he recommended
that the Congress Of the United States
be petitioned to grant the Hawaians
the political rights they were now en-
joying. Wilcox, Kalauoklani and Kau'
liza then opposed that advice and caus'
ed its rejection, saying that they should
ask Congress to restore The monarchy
and nothing less. The tights they now
enjoyed Of life. liberty and the pursuit
of happiness they owed to the Demo
Gratis in Congress. Wilcox did nothing
to secure those rights. The Republi'
cans claimed the credit for giving them
their rights, but the claim was not q
true one. II was Republicans who had
put in the Hawaiian bill restrictions
on their rights. Democratic members
Of Congress were the means Of having
the obnoxious features struc kout. Will
cox wrote to the speaker from Seattle
saying he was going to Washington tC
work for restoration. When he go
to Washington he wrote that restora
| ton was a dead issue. Mr.. Clark ad
vised his hearers not To follow blint

had received. Now they had reached
the promised land Of Canaan and coult

monarchy would be better they wer
entitled to their opinion. Mr.. Clar
was frequently applauded.

Party. Democrat SD long as tn
Democratic party acted up to its pro
fessions. There were three parties t
choose between. The Republican
claimed to be the authors OF all thei
benefits. Had they made the neces

less for their poi? The Republican
promised continued prosperity. At tn
same time sugar was going down i
price. 1t would fall still lower whe
the Philippines and Cuba should suppl
the United States with all the sugar

parties, scoring some of the Republ
cans for their actions in 1898 and 1879
