"one Of our platforms is to have the
laporers work but eight hours a day
Ouf campaign platform was out last
June and II seems that the Republicans
nave taken most of it simply to work
as net to catch the native voters. |
The Republicans who may come here on
their stumping expedition are not white |
Republicans, but look put for the red |
Republicans.
Remember what the Cubans did re- |
Gently. l do not mean that you are to |
be disloyal to your present government,
but 1 will advise you strongly to work |
together as they did and we will win
the day.
DO not vote for those who will run
independently. They will not be elect
ed; but they would. split our ballots
and help the Republicans to gain the
day"
Before closing Mr.. Mossman appealed
to the hearts of the women. He told
them to look out for their husbands
actions and see that they cast their
ballots for the Independent candidate
The women enjoyed this talk and the
men alsouagreed with the speaker.
Sam Kalola was introduced by the
chairman as the next speaker. This is
the same Sam who took active part in
the meetings of the Democrats.
Friends he said, many years have
passed in which we had no chance to
walk to the polls and throw our ballots
| in the box. But a few days more and
that privilege will be enjoyed again as
| II used to be. You all remember Cleve-
land. After the mischief was done in
| 1898, Cleveland, the President of the
| United States, sent Commissioner
Blount here to negotiate. There were
movements to restore the Queen, but
| the Republicans stopped the action of
that President. Should we vote now
for these, our enemies?"
The speaker made a very brief COM
ment on the action of the Democratic
administration and after having urged
the natives to pull together he conclud-
! ed
| j. K. Kaulia was late in appearing.
AS he walked towards the stand, the
audience made remarks about his tar
diness. However he showed up in time
to follow Kalola. He was one, of course,
who needed no Introduction, but the
ceremony was gone through with as
usual. When Kaulia had taken the
stand he complained of thirst and a
treat of sodawater was offered him. He
! greeted the audience smilingly, told of
his tour in the United States with d.
Kalauokalani, and then made an ap-
! peal to- the women to give time and
: money to further the Independent
cause. Mr.. Kaulia went further than
merely to encourage the women to work
/ together with their husbands. He said
that il he should be elected he would
endeavor to secure woman suffrage for
Hawaii. They are trying to do this in
Australia, and why not we do it here?"
The speaker then complimented the
people for the way they had stood by
the Aloha Alma. He said: I'VE all have
become poor. 1 warn you to keep the
frugal supplies now found on the fam
lily table for your children and your
selves. Do not share with the mali
hinis. They would partake of your lit
tie store and lay on their backs without
giving you just compensation for what
they GET
| The speaker commented on mission
airy administrations and said if the In
dependents should come into power
they should vastly improve upon it an6
that any faults which have been no.
ticed could be remedied. He spoke criti
: cally of the present Board Of Health
He touched upon it's outlay of 1900, ,00'
which, he charged, was leisurely spen
and earned by some conceited rogue.
{ who said they were suppressing the bu
bonic plague. To remedy this abuse h,
said the natives may trust such men a.
DR.. N. Russell who would work equal,
t and honestly of all, haoles and natives
/ alike.
Mr.. Kaulia said it was one of th
! great aims of the Independent party t
r get statehood for Hawaii. The Inde
, pendent leader did not forget of wha
| Senator Hoar did for him and for D
/ lKalauokalani. He told the people tha
! this generous gentleman was intereste'
5 in their mission to the United State
. in 1893 on behalf of the natives. He de
4 clared that Senator Hoar had prove,
E himself their friend and had taken thei
: petition and offered it to Congress.
: Turning to the local situation, Nh
!. Kaulia said: "If you choose Parker fo
delegate there will be trouble in you
families. Therefore, vote for Wilco
| (applause). He warned the natives t
, watch closely and not be induced to los
: their sympathies for the Home Rul
e party and cast their votes for the Re
r publican or Democratic candidates.
Next Wednesday night you may Sc
lect your six candidates for the conven
: ton of the Independent party, and
will be their duty to select your candi
dates for the Legislature. They wi
Y represent the people at the convention

left in your hands. Remember that o
