wAGLUKU. Maui, September 7.--Polit
ical affairs are decidedly queer and un
settled on Maui Tuesday evening, Sept
18th, Robert Wilcox spoke In Wallukl
including men, women, children, Jap
Ianesc ncse-Independents, Republi-
cans and Democrats. lie seemed to gain
but meager applause and was not by any
means a favorite. His speech was mod
crate In tone but antl-missionary in tenor.
and advocated home rule without alli-
nnce with either of the great parties. He
however truly stated that the natives
owed their present privilege of fun
suffrage to a Republican President and a
Republican legislature. This remark
pleased some Waikiki people for certain
leaders have been impressing the native
voters with the idea that they owed the
right of suffrage without the property
qualification TO Democratic votes in Con-
gress. Mr.. Wilcox advocated the selec-
ton Of good natives for legislators irres-
pective of their knowledge of English.
He stated that the legislature could make
its own rules and could employ an Inter
prefer II they wished. He seemed rather
harsh on the Democrats fearing probably
an alliance by the Independents with the
Democrats. He stated that the latter In
Hawaii were lead by a malihini lawyer
named Mechanism whose carpet-bag was
stll moist with the air of the sea. He
also said that one Coast Democratic paper
called Prince David a monkey. He stated
that he cared to say nothing about the
other candidates for delegate. He cared
nothing about Samuel Parker, II. p Bald
win. John Wise, ]. o. Carter and others.
He was only running and working for
himself.
Another point he made for political eff
feet was that II the Independents OBJ
tained a majority In the next legislature
they could repeal many of the obnoxious
laws inaugurated by the Dole regime.
After Wilcox, Thomas Clark. the strong
est and most influential politician among
Wailuku Independents, arose and said
that he agreed with Wilcox about the
selection of good candidates for legisla-
tive honors but that he advised his par
ty to cease trying to ride between two
horseshoe foot on one animal and the
other foot on the other equine. II was
better to ride on one horse and that horse
was the Democratic one. Cleveland and
Blount were good men and he advised the
to fuse with the Democratic
party. Clark was greeted with much APP
lplausc.
Clark was followed 10y John Aluli-who
has been named by the Independents as
n legislative candidate. He stated that
the natives had frequently followed VIII
cox but never to SuCcess-and that they
uhe natives) were tired of failure. Aluli
advised his friends to have nothing to
DO with Wilcox. This made the latter
angry and he arose and called Aluli a
little dog and made other disparaging re-
marks about him.
This mode of procedure VIII not help
Wilcox for Alull is popular in Waikiki.
4 ne meeting was held under the auspices
of the Aloha Alma Socety-of which Louis
Kookoo is president and Manuel Ross
secretary.
