Bubbles from HilO Political
Pot Just Before Election

following review Of local politics:
Ii the Hawaiians of Hilo District
hold together in the society that Is
| now in process OF organization there Ia
no question that political party
stronger than the Home Rulers, will
be in force at the polls at the next
general election. The Hawaiians say
| they are here to stay, and that they
will he independent in all that the
word implies.
| During the past ten days meetings
have been held; perhaps caucus is
the better word. in which the details
are being arranged by members who
have left the ranks OF the Democrats,
Republicans and Home Rulers. While
II Ia in a sense a secret society. enough
has leaked out to show that in the or
ganization are men who know enough
of politics to Introduce methods that
will he OF value in holding the men to-
gether.
We have an oath" said one of the
organizers. that will bind us as close
ms brothers: We lack only an active
leader-One who will devote all of his
time to the good of the cause. At
present John T. Baker Is our president,
and he is a man Of considerable in
nuence among the natives.
AT one OF the meetings man who
was a worker for the Republican
cause last November suggested that we
had better make the society beneficial
In character. Then came the question
of dues. and one enthusiastic party
man thought fifty cents month woulG
be necessary to carry on the work OF
publication among the native Home
Rulers. This was contested, and
think We will decide on fifty cents a
year, for the reason that the Hawa-
iians. as rule, cannot AFFORD to pay
so much. All We want Is to hold to-
sether and vote as one man. IL will
not require money at the polls, and II
We find IL necessary to raise funds to
pay the expenses of our speakers ve
can do that for month or two before
election by assessing each member so
much. Between you and me, the Ha-
waiians, speakers or workers, are so
determined to control notifies in this
Territory that they will labor without
pay. When | say this | tell you what
