should be some attention paid to the

This has been discussed since the
close of the Legislature, as it was
deemed the time to go on with the
fight, and to keep the people informed
as to what was done here during the
winter and spring, and thus prevent
the Home Rulers from making such
explanations as would bring the people
can managers say they have hopes
that it will be impossible for the Inde-
pendents to explain to the people that
there was not great loss of time and
much trouble which should have been
avoided during the Legislatures ses-
sion. 1t is thought that there is no
party which would mean so much to
the people as the Republican party,
which gave to them prosperity and
which Is now in the majority in the
country at large, if the Home Rule is

choice has been explained to the people
by Wilcox, whenever there were a few
gathered and the result is that there
seems to be some ground for the opin-
ion that hard work will not be neces-
sary in getting the Hawaiians into the
fold.
Organization is the word with which
the Republicans hope to conjure.. Some
of the members say that they have
little hope next time If there Is not
perfect organization of Republicans to
day that there was nothing done in the
matter of>getting poll of the various
districts, that there were no complete
lists to show the residents of any COM
munity On the Island of Hawaii there
were precincts where the Republican
vote was practically nothing, where the
party candidate was strongest and
again there were cases where the vote
was entirely out of all proportion. 1t
was in Kauai that the greatest trouble
arose, for there there was practically
no opposition offered to the Home Ruiz
erS.
1t was the wish of the committeeman
who were talking of the proposed gath
ering that there be a large attendance
to settle for the coming two years the
matter of the local committees and
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
to be the feeling that there will be
some vast changes seen during the
next year. There are several members
of the committee here and they all
seem to have the same idea as to the
necessity for action. What course the
matter will take is a question, but there
are some of the members who believe
in a special meeting, followed by
of the full committee, so that
there may be full agreement upon the
terms on which the work is to be done.
Another thing which is giving some
trouble is that there have been, in
some respects, for the politicians, Sc
we're throw-downs, in that the regular
of the committee
have not been followed even when ask
I'd as In some instances. This has made
some of the members of the Executive
Committee rather angry and they think
It is time to rid the party of any kind
IF double-faced dealers.
There will be some work to be done
f there Is to be an attempt to hold the
to their contract with VIII
,ox, to join the Republican party. There
nave arisen some schisms over the al
otment of offices but there has been
nothing serious as yet, except hard
words. There will be nothing else IL
the present outlook continues. as the
party will first, according to one menu
Der of the committee, get together and
hen proceed with its settlement of old
accounts Another matter which Is
agitating the old politicians is that as
neads of departments are going to
