Especial ccrrespondenceo


lcal affairs are decidedly queer and IN
settled on Maui. Tuesday evening, Sept. |
9Th, Robert Wilcox spoke In Wailuku
Skating Rink to several hundred people
including men, women, children, Jap
aness. Chihese-Independen Republi-
cans ard Democrats. He seemed 10 gain
but meager applause and was not by any
means a farorite. His speech was mod
crate in tone but anti-missionary In tenor
lie related his Washington experiences
and advocated home rule without ALI
ance with either OF the great parties. He
owed their present privilege of a full
suffrage to Republican President and a
Republican legislature. This remark
pleased some Wailuku 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 McClanahan whose carpet-bag was
stil moist with the air of the sea. He
also said that one Coast Democratic paper
called Prince David monkey. He stated
that he cared to say nothing about the
other candidates for delegate. RE cared
nothing about Samuel Parker, II. +. Bald
win, John Wise. j. O. Carter and others.
lie was only running and working fer
hlpself.
Another point he made for political ef-
| feet was that If the independents OBJ
tanned 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
Waikiki Independents, arose and said
that he agreed with Wilcox about the
selection OF good candidates for legisla-
tive houors hut that he advised his par
Ivy TO cease trying to ride between two
horses-one foot on one animal and the
lother foot on the other equine. 1t was
better to ride on one horse and that horse
was the Democratic one. Cleveland and
Blount were good men and he advised the
independents to fuse with the Democratic
lparty. Clark was greeted with much APP
Iplause.
Clark was followed by John Aluli-who
has been named by the Independents as
/ a Legislative candidate. He stated that
the natives had frequently followed Will
cox but never to success-and that they
(the natives) were tired OF failure. Alul

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 win not helr
