ty by these traitors to the cause?
Where was Wilcox Immediately AZ
ter the overthrow of the monarchy.
The records will show that ne was the
only Hawaiian present at the Drill
Shed on March q. 1893, s4nd he then and
there declared for annexation and in so
many words stated that the indepen-
dence of Hawaii had gone forever
These men-Markham, Boyd and Will
cox-are the men who would question
the loyalty of those who have stood
true to the cause of Hawaii. Are these
men to receive your suffrage? Have
you any confidence In them who have
| turned traitors at a time when the
country depended upon them for their
services?
WANTS CARTER ELECTED.
My friends. 1t is a matter Of perfect
Indifference To me whether / am elect
co or not, but / want to show you that
| it would be an act of base ingratitud /.
for j. O.. Carter who has been your
AN election at your hands He has
lteen your best friend. / want to say
20 you that the present election IS
taught with the most important and
Initial questions affecting the welfare of
i the Hawaiians. II you would have

tier is elected by an overwhelming ma
tority.
| During my residence In California I
WAS Republican. but I am a Demo-
lcrat today because of the outrage
committed against the Hawaiians BY.
tine Republican party. 1t was a Re
lUubIican administration that Matched
the conspiracy Of annexation, and IL
was Republican President that fore
led that treaty Of annexation upon the
congress OF the United States. but 1t
Twas a Dem ocratic President who with
Idrew that treaty, 1t being his first Of
Ifcial act after coming into Office.
You will r"member that 1t was a Re-
publican administration that gave itR
Support to the provisional government,
lanG 1t was a Republican official who
lowered your flag, but it was Blount. a
democrat, who raised your much-Ioved
flag again, and 1t was President Cleve
Hand. a Democrat, who would have re
stored your Queen and country, but
for the force of the Republican party
In Congress. which fought the Demo
lCretic minority and would not allow a
Isingle act of justice to be done.
When the provisional government
FIRST asked for the annexation of these
Islands 1t was soemnly declared that
liz was with the free and full consent
OF the native Hawaiians, who desired
the Republican press on the Mainland
90 spread that report. They stated
That the Hawaiians had no love 70:
their Queen. and were Indifferent to
the loss of their country.
TWO HISTORIC DAYS
IF then the Republicans are sue
lcessful In tits election Ii will give the
stamp of approval to the overthrow o.
the MONARCHY, and will be an admis
sion to the whole world that the Ha-
waiians were Indifferent to their coun-
-ry loss. With these facts can you
give one solitary vote for the Repub;
liican party. the party that is response
Die for the loss of your flag and coun-
sry?s There are two great days that
Will live in the history Of the Hawaiian
Islands. One of them was the day
when the proclamation went out from
.he Democratic President that your
Queen would be restored to you, and
the other was that day when we bow
ed with gries and humi iation when on
country was taken away from us.
This was the foul blow Of the Re
publican party. How can you Civ,
your allegiance to any other part!
= than that which has been your trues
and best friend. You should vote 70
your allN. HE Is a REPRESENTA-
TIVE OF THE MONARCHICA1
IDEA. he stands today as the expore1
nf the Hawaiian people. His defea
; VIII mean that the Hawaiians are in
, different as 20 the fate of their coun
try. and on the other hand. his election
Will mean that the HAWAILANS RE.
SENT THE OUTRAGE placed upol
them BY THE UNITED STATES a
he hands OF the Republican party.
IF you would be true and loyal t
lyOur Queen and your country you vii
. Sc" that the ali IL elected, and hi
= election viii be a singing rebuke t
the Republican party, and to william
mckinley in particular, for the damna
BILE outrage he has committed"
