same John CoEburn. the Democrat, intends
to advise the people against their best in
terests. l tell you fellow citizens, John
Colburn is traitor" (Applause.)
T. McCants Stewart was enthusiastical-
~ received by the audience. He said, in
part: Il shall date my first campaign
speech in the Territory OF Hawaii from
this meeting tonight. / take great pleas
ure in responding to the invitation to
speak here because that invitation comes
not from men who are high in party
councils and who are distinguished after
long years of party warfare, but IL comes
from an organization of the horny handed
sons Of toll, the long-shore men. the back
bone Of the country, the reliable. honest.
hard working element which is to put in
the hands of the Honorable Samuel Par
ker the banner which he will carry to
victory.
AS you come to grapple with this new
problem of government the eyes of the
world are upon you. 1t is for you to
live up to the glorious principles Of the
greater America.
'It is my policy, as I feel 1t to be my
duty, always to be fair in politics. There
fore think all true Hawaiians, all those
who are citizens of this glorious Terri
tory. are DESTROYS Of doing their very best
for their country. If We send a strong
man to Washington, il We I'LL the legis-
lative halls with honest and far seeing
statesmen. IL we place incorruptible judges
upon the bench. II we see TO 1t that our
public school system is of the best, then
viii we indeed have here a great terri
tory, and every Hawaiian will be proud
OF the record Of Hawaii ne1 in the Legis-
lature, in the courts and in the schools,
a record which viii hasten the day when
we shall become a state and instead of
Congressman Parker, 1t will be Senator
Parker" prolonged applause and cheer

Wilcox and Markham want to do good

are going about it in the wrong way.

What / say of the Independents
would also say of ]. II. Wise and Prince
David. The time is not far distant when
they Will all follow along with sucn men
as w. c. Achi and A. V. Gear. / say
TO you that the time cometh when Mark

Mccarthy and the rest will all be good
members of the Republican party.
"a man cannot be an Independent. No
man can live Independently of his fell
low men. The Bible, that great book on
philosophy. says: no man liveth unto
himself Do you suppose that If l shut
myself up in my own house and made up
my mind to live independently that
would live very long? MOI would soon
die of starvation after the poi and fish
in my house were gone. An independent
man is a man who can get along with
ont the assistance of anybody else.

h would soon become. very flshy and
long to see the man who grows taro that
ne might get some poi. The same with
the taro man. They cannot live indepen-
IDENTITY of each other. The Independent
party cannot bring prosperity TO Hawaii
Think you that a Republican adrrinistra-
ton at Washington VIII grant any favors
to the Independents in Hawaii if the Re-
publicans of Hawaii bring their influence
and advice to bear against 1t?
Il have the highest opinion of thest
gentlemen whom L have mentioned
their patriotism Is sincere no DOUBT
They say that they want to control tn
Legislature. Supposing they do. whai
good win II do them? The Governor
will be Republican as long as the ad
ministration at Washington is Repuo
lican, and the Governor will have tn
power TO veto any act of the Leglsia
ture oh, wen you may say, the Leg
Iisiature can pass any act over the vet'
Of the Governor by a two-thirds vote.
That's all very well. but If we have ;
Republican Congress, that Congress
