new political party has made it's
appearance in the local campaign.
Some politicians of the Island of Kauai
have come to the conclusion that they
neither want the Republican, Demo-
crat or Independent parties They have
risen above them all and launched the
Citizens Home Rule Party. This is
expected to fill an aching void for the
kauaians, who cannot bring them
selves to affiliate with any of the par
ties now in vogue.
The Citizens movement has culmin-
ated in call being issued for COM
bination mass meeting to be held on
September 26. in which Republicans,
Democrats and Independents are ex-
pected to fraternize and agree on their
candidates for election in November.
The new party has taken the initia-
tive in preparing its slate. On the slate
are the names of prominent residents
Of the Garden Isle, and on this showing
the promoters of the new party expect
TO make a grand stand play for sup
port. So far the movement has not got
beyond the limits of Lihue. The ma
tives are what the promoters are after
but they do not seem to understand the
combination. 1t is said the Indepen-
dent leaders on Kauai have held aloof
from the movement and that they are
preventing the natives from joining

for Hawaii in place of one of the pres
ent nominees. During an interview
with r. w. Wilcox yesterday, he said
that at the convention held at Kailua
DR.. n. Russell would have received the
nomination unanimously for the Senate
but it was thought best then to leave
him out to fill some other offices. How
ever" the speaker said, 'it is almost
an assured fact that DR.. n. Russell viii
be a Senator"
When Mr.. Wilcox was questioned
about Wailehua's movement, he sait
that at the convention held at Kailua
Hawaii, Wailehua came from Kau anC
endeavored to be nominated In spit,
. of all his efforts he only received on'
vote which he may have cast himself
and ]. K. kaula, also from Kau, re
ceived the nomination by unanimou
vote. Wilcox says that he does not un
| derstand Wailehua's action nor does h
know how the man would receive an,
, approval as a candidate, although h.
was named at a mass meeting. Nh
