Congress which has provided us with
the right to vote. (Applause)
There have been three parties start
ed to stand by the country known re-
spectively as the Kalaialna, Aloha Alma
and the present one. Kalaiaina drew
At fell through The Aloha Alma also
rdrew lup a platform, and Il resulted In
the same way as the other. And today
they are about to issue the platform of
the present party. That may yet en-
counter the same results as the other
two. Shall we then pledge ourselves to
get protection from the Independent
party as the third Is known today
which for some years past has accom-
pltshed nothing? / would warn you to
support that party which has been eau
tious In inserting n section in regard to
an appropriation for our queen.
Vote for the Republican senatorial
and representative candidates. The
Wilcox party did not provide a section
about the use of the Hawaiian language
! in Our local legislature for the benefit
! of our own people. But 1t was this party
composed of haoles who took more eau
ton and provided a section for our own
benefit. (Applause) Is this not suili-
cient to show that we are not working
for the benefit of the people, but the
whole at large? Shall you not then
support such men as w. G. Achl. Enoch
johnson, myself, our senatorial candi-
dates and representative candidates?
I'VE have in our platform also u sec
ton providing for the payment of the
losses incurred by the Chinatown fire.
w. g. Achi. Enoch Johnson, myself
and others lost 100000 in that district
Can you tell me what the Independents
lost? Does this not show that we will
Earnestly pledge to work hard and sup
port that section OF our platform?
Speaking of independence again, |
would not call such who do not have
anything to speak of today. But !
would consider such men worthy of the
title who had retained their property
handed down to them by their parents,
who In order to secure It, worked hard

CHARTERED a STEAMER.
The Democrats Will go on Hunt
for Prince David

Late last evening It was stated on
good authority that leading members
Of the Democratic central committee
had succeeded In chartering the steam
er Mlkahala to go after Prince David
and bring him back before Saturday
next 30 that he may register.
1t was only after much tribulation
and many trips In hacks to and from
the water front that the Democrats
succeeded In making arrangements to
secure the Mikahala for the purpose OF
chasing up the wandering prince. But
the question of money was n secondary
one. considering the gravity OF the sit"
uatlon. and II was positively stated last
night that the Mikahala had been char
tered and that she would sail at an
early hour this morning In search OF
David. Where Prince David Ia now or

Democrat named David. another was a
Republican named Sam. and the third was
an Independent named Bob. One day he
took them all out on shooting trip. At
the end of the day they had nothing but
a woodchuck to divide among them. When
they reached home the farmer called the
three sons into the barn and said he
proposed to give the woodchuck to the
boy who explained In the best manner
why he belonged to the party which he
intended voting for. He asked David
first why he was Democrat. David re-
piled that he did not have to work He
had plenty of money and owed little.
II Bryan was elected he could pay his
bills In f7-cent dollars. He produced
nothing. He bought everything he need
ed and most of 1t came from Europe and
SO on.
The farmer asked Sam why he was n
Republican. Sans reasons were along
similar lines, and the farmer said they
were very good reasons.
Last of all he asked Bob why he was an
Independent. Bob spoke up quickly,
