Sam Parker Back
From Tour Of
Islands.
MET SUCCESS AT
ALL THE MEETINGS
Returned Republicans Tell Of the
Crowds That Greeted
Them.

"HE stamping tour of the Repub-
lican candidate for Congress and
the speakers sent out by the Cen
trail Committee around the Islands OF
Hawaii and Maui was fraught with
signal success. They believe they have
made an impression on the native vot-
ers who came within the sound of their
voices and heard the principles of the
party explained. They further believe
that the vote of many a native which
was thought secure by the Indepen-
dents and even by the Democratic lead
ers will now be cast for Sam Parker. ,
At KHilua the Republicans met the
Democrats, headed by Prince David
Lilikalaniy one Of the latter's speakers
commenced an abusive harangue of the
Republicans and their leader as soon as
the little stumping party came within
hearing distance. Personal epithets
were applied and the natives began to
wonder at the manner Of the campaign
which the Democrats were conducting
when w. c. Achi for the Republicans,
spoke in defence of the men whom the
Democrats were deriding. The crowd
turned and listened to the new speaker
and by the time he reached the end of
It Is said of Prince David that he wept
when 1t was reported to him that one Of
his speakers waited until the Repub-
lican candidates were within his hear
ing to abuse them.
Among those who returned yesterday
by the steamer Maui there was a feel
ing when they began their tour Of Ha-
wall that from the various statements
which had been made by the various
candidates of the other parties, the
people seemed to be very favorable to
Parker. This they showed In their
treatment and reception of him at each
place they stopped to make addresses.
Sam Parker went into certain places
which the speakers and leaders of the
other parties had not entered and this
produced a favorable impression. Dur
ing his entire crusade 1t is said of the
Republican Congressional candidate
that he would say no harmful thing OF
any of his opponents. He merely ex-
planned the politics of the party which
he headed in Hawaii and left out per-
sonalities.
The last Hawaii port the Republicans
made speeches In was at Kailua. The
Republicans were told that the Prince
David party would not make any
speeches until the Republicans came in
sight of the little place, and thus en-
deavor to hold the people until the
steamer left Kailua by which the men,
bers of both parties expected to leave
for Maui. This was intended as
coup d'etat to prevent the Republicans
making any speeches.
Just as the Republicans came within
hearing distance of the place where the
Democrats were assembled they saw
Edward Lllilsalani mount the platform
In front of the wharf office. He abused
the Republicans: called the Sam
Parker Snakes" "land thieves" IAN
nexationists," and not true patriots.
At first 1t was thought Lilikalani was
Joking. He. however, continued his
abuse. and called the attention of the
audience to the Republicans as they
were passing by.
w. c. Achi mounted box In the VI
cinity and challenged Lilikalani to
prove his allegations, but Lilikalani
would not, or could not state any in
stance where any of the Republicans
he named could be regarded by many
of the epithets he applied. He contin-
ued throwing his generalities about I'M
til interrupted by Achi, who spoke up
on the principles of the party, and told
the people the Democrats were stoop-
ing to personalities which the Repub-
licans refrained from doing. He said
the Democrats were using this manner
of a campaign to gain votes by abusing
their opponents.
The people cheered Achi during the
entire course of his speech AS he
concluded an old native, G.. Daniel by
name, from whom Robert Wilcox dor
rowed" 500 on n pretense of using II
to restore the Queen, came forward and
shook hands with the speaker. The old
man told how Wilcox had inveigled
him by false statements of what pur-
ported to be facts, into giving him the
800 which Wilcox claimed would be of
great influence with politicians to place
back on her throne. The
old man said he was convinced that
Sam Parker was the man he would vote
for and asked to hear him speak. Par
ker received an ovation from the peo-
pie. He called the attention OF the ma
tiyes to the stories which the Prince
David party were circulating about
himself and the other candidates. which
was proven by the statements to which
I.illkaiani had Just given utterance.
After concluding their speeches the
moved further down the
shore and Wise and Clark OF the Demo-
cratic party attempted 10 continue their
meeting but the crowd had moved along |
with Parker.
