objects OBJ, tlis new organization ls to
accomplish ihat
$3.50. s.r. There uiu De- uo foreigners
admitted the society win bp composed
/ entirely oft HaWaiiaus. and The men who
think fntY can control the Hawaiian
vote uII EHt as badly lgft as they were
{ lasi election. This society has been ON
. foot for months. and J do not see how
+ it leaked uut at alli we wanted Co keep
thp matter quiet until we were fully or
ganIzHi and every member had been
tested as tO his oath. once we are or
Eauiz.l we du not care who knows an
that $500 intend shall boz known but
there are some things which can never
be mad. public property ~ everything
were mad. public people would laugh
at uF fHr calling ourselves secret 500
ciety The people will know what we
are when the nominations are made.
and again when the votes are counted.
10 don matter Goo us whether we get In
90 "a convention or not We can run
our candidates indopendet of any party
and succeed as well as III they We're
regularly nominated See the result Of
The last campaign. Al citizens meet
ing L0ebenstein. Brown and Desha were
the choice. al the convention IL was
LOebenstein and Blacow who got the
nomination. Now when il came to
voting what was the result? Neither
was elected, and Brown, who left the
Republican party because Of the turn
down be got. ran Independently and
was elected by a big majority. We can
do the same with any of our people at
any election. and If you want proof Of
our strength watch the result Of the
election next December"
Another Hawaiian who has attended
two Of the three meetings held says:
y did not see anything in the pro-
ceedings Of the meetings that suggest
secrecy AS far as ] am able to gather
the society is for the purpose Of bring
ing the Hawaiians closer together, and,
IL politics Is to be one of the objects, to
avoid II possible the mistakes made by
the Home Rulers. Some Of us want to
personal feelings in politics; if a man
is considered all right by a majority OF
members he is to be voted for regardless
Of any personal differences there might
be between the candidate and individual
members.
Another thing, we want to teach the
Hawaiians to forget the past and begin
anew. There is no use in our forver
holding over the white residents a feel
ing Of distrust on account of the over
throw Of the queen: that is passed and
gone. and it is about time we were
forgetting it and settling down to bust
ness " is quite true that where a Ha-
waiian is found capable to represent
district or fill an office his claims Will
be pressed. but hardly against a haole if
the haole is the better man. There are
Some IN the society who are hot-headed
and --hO believe that no one is as good
aa 81 native but / think those chaps VIII
b. toned down when the times comes.
AS to benefits! I don't know so
much about that when it comes to
death cleafms. I'm laying by little
every week for my own funeral, and 1t
IS about all can do without helping to
bury some other fellow. And if all the
dues paid in are for use for politics you
can count me out of it; politics InaT be
part of the sOciety'5 structure, but,
in my mind. it is not the foundation,
and when I find that il is you may
count me out. I want to see the Ha-
waiian educated into the ways that are
considered modern, and ! am willing
to Contribute toward it, but / know
where to draw the line, and when the
society's work reaches that point you
will hear Of me drawing it,"
