The tickets were made up at con-
ventions held on each island and the
d. Kalauokalani who arrived on the
Mauna Loa. Every name is that of
native Hawaiian either of full blood or
half-caste. Mr.. Markham says. re-
garding the exclusion of whites, that
there is no personal animosty but for
the interest of all citizens of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii and to promote the
welfare of the islands it was thought
l. - taI,n H. l,at
sued. 1.-The objection to the whites"
says Mr.. Markham, sis that they have
violated our confidence in the past
However we intend to nominate some
of our white friends in Oahu"
who may they be-" was asked
1--WE are not ready,to say" was the
reply.
do you expect to name Joseph o.
Carter and S. NJ. Damon?"
81 cannot give definite answer as to
that"
Have they been considered at all?"
mo, they have not"
what is the idea of naming some
white men here and none elsewhere?"
The whites here" said Mr.. Mark
ham, ARE men in whom we have more
confidence. We in Honolulu don't
know much about the white men of the
other islands: but we know our neigh
bors here and can size them up. We
want men who have the aloha of the
Hawaiian people.
"Our intentions are to promote the
welfare of all business classes, that
capital and labor may work in har-
mony. We want to strike off all these
old blue laws; we will object to con-
firming all the Governors appoint
ments; we want for the Hawaiians an
equal show in the offices; we want mu-
nicipal government for Honolulu Hilo
and Kahului; we favor an eight
hour law in Government service; we
also oppose Asiatic labor and the en-
ployment of any one in public office
who is not citizen of Hawaii.
Robert Wilcox is our choice for
Congress-" continued Mr.. Markham.
I'VE expect him to carry out the pro-
gram we have outlined and work for
the good of the Islands, though any
measures introduced by him should
first receive the affirmative action of
the local Legislature. Upon the ques-
ton of restoration Mr. Wilcox has no
hopes and he believes that annexation
is an accomplished fact. The Queen
has no hopes of return to the
throne"
Does she sympathi2e with the In
dependent party?"
mo. she is out of politics altogether"
