There is a universal opinion that there
should be some attention paid to the
precinct organization now or there VIII
be little hope of keeping up any orgahi-
cation for the next campaign.
This has been discussed since the
close of the Legislature. as IL was
deemed the time to go on with the
fight and to keep the people informeu
as to what was done here during the
winter and spring, and thus preVen'
the Home Rulers from making such
explanations as would bring the people
TO their support again. The Repubh-
can managers say they have hopes
that il will be impossible for the lnde-
pendents to explain to the people that
there was not great loss of time ana
,nnch trouble which should have been
avoided during the Legislatures ses-

the people as the Republican party.
which gave to them prosperity ana

country at large if the Home Rule rs
eliminated The wisdom of second

nv Wilcox, whenever there were lie"
Gathered and the result is that there
seems 40 be some ground for the opin-
ion that hard work will not be neces-
sary in getting the Hawaiians INTO 'he
fold ,
ORGANIZATION is the word with when
,b, D.nuh,ioans hone to conjure. Some
of the members say that they nave
r,re hone next time If there is not a
perfect organization of Repubhcahs u
on into the fight. 1t was said yester-
day that there was nothing done IN the
matter of getting a poll Of the various
districts that there were no conP'e'e
lists to show the residents of any COM
rnunity. On the Island of Hawah there
were precincts where the Repuphcah
vote was practically nothing, where the
marty candidate was strongest al"
AGAIN there were cases where the 'o.e
was entirely out of all proportion ~
was in Kauai that the greatest trouo,e
arose for there there was prac'N"'
no onnosition offered to the Home Ru'-
ers.
II was the wish of the committeeman
erinr that there bd a large attendance
n settle for the coming two years the
matter Of the local committees ana
clubs and their powers. There was
unanimity in the desire to have the
entire party know of what is going on
and the only thing in the way seems
10 be the feeling that there VIII De
some vast changes seen during the
next wear. There are several members
of the committee here and they al
seem to have the same idea as 10 tne
necessity for action. what course the
matter will take is a question nut lhere
are some of the members VINO peleNe
in a special meeting, followed pS
meeting of the full committee, so tha'
there may be full agreement upon tht
terms on which the work is to be done
Another thing which is giving some
trouble is that there have peeh' u
some respects, for the politicians Sc
we're throw downs. in that the regular
recommendations of the committed
have not been followed even when ask
ed as in some instances This has made
some of the members of the Executive
Committee rather angry and they thlnl
it is time to rid the party or any kih'
OF double faced dealers.
There will be some work to be dom
if there is to be an attempt TO hold TIT
Hawaiians to their contract with VIII
cox. 10 Join the Republican party. Their
have arisen some schisms over the al
lotment of offices but there has pee
nothing serious as yet, except har'
words There will be nothing else
the present outlook continues as tn
party will first, according to one mem
Der of the committee, get together an
then proceed with its settlement of oil
accounts. Another matter which
aeitating the old politicians is that a
heads OF departments are going I
other Islands, on business. II might
we'll to have them feel the pulse of tn
political community and gauge the fu
ture by that
Mr. j. p. Cooke said: Il am of tn
opinion that there is not too much tim
if we are to make a hard fight. Ther
is much in the way of organization I
be done. and the sooner we get at
the better off we will be. l have hear
the talk of session of the Executiv
Committee before and hope that it wi
be called at once, so that we can 81
down to work and stimulate the peop
in the lead throughout the Islands
bestir themselves"
II is understood that there is a ger
eral plan to secure the naturalizatio
of the old residents who have maintain
ed their allegiance to European pow
er. This is proceeding with success {
most of the plantations, at one in pa
ticular, where last year there were oil
ly eleven votes, there have been mol
than that number of naturalizations
far. This leads to the belief that thel
will be such pressure as will lead
strong precinct clubs all over II
group, and that there will be close a
tention paid to the advance work of
campaign.
