The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1902-10-14

ings held during the past ten days by
Prince Kuhio that Republicanism is
gaining ground among the natives Of
the garden isle From Hanalei to Ma
wiliwili the tour OF the prince was one
of triumphs, not even excepting Wal
mea, where by the dragooning of the
natives by Home Rulers under orders
from Honolulu the meeting of the Re-
publicans was kept down to the lowest
figure OF any place on the island.
Prince kuhio, Stephen Desha, and
Representative Makekau arrived in the
steamer w. G. Hall yesterday morning,
after having given full week to the
northern island They held eight or ten
meetings, covered the entire island and
found on the part of the people great
willingness and desire to hear what
they had to say concerning the issues
of the campaign. The first meeting at
Hanalei was one which set the note of
the entire trip. There seems to be no
feeling there except one of confidence
in the future and the success of the
Republican party, and the Hawaiians
are stalwarts in their defense of the
parry AZ Nllduti anu tut
meetings were not so large, but there
was nothing short in the enthusiasm
which was displayed among the people.
Then came Waimea, and there the
small size of the meeting caused in
quries to be made. These developed
that the committee of the Home Rule
party here had sent instructions to the
leaders there to prevent the meeting if
pnGCihlp and the raSnlt q i
nels kept many people from attending
the gathering. Some of the Hawaiians
were seen, however, and they We're
asked what was the matter and told
the story of the orders. This put the
Prince on his mettle and he sought some
of his fellow countrymen, and they
listened to his remarks and after he had
concluded said that he had opened their
eyes and they would struggle to make
the people see how they were being
fooled.
From that time on the tour was n
triumphal procession, the people at
Kekaha, Koloa, Llhue and Nawiliwili
showing their interest in the fight in
many ways. That end of the island
seems to have discovered the unsatis-
factory nature of the claims of Wilcox,
and the result has been that the speak
ers for Home Rule, sent up to dis
countenance the Republicans, We're I'M
able to do anything with the natives.
Poepoe was made the commissioner to
represent Wilcox, who felt that he must
go on to Hawaii, and that astute poll
tician has found already that he has no
chance to turn the natives Home Rule
ward once their eyes have been opened.
Prince kuhio was in fine spirits and
health yesterday, when he had time to
get the effects of travel worn off, and
he went into the task of future plans
with a vigOr which betokened success.
He spent four hours going over the
plans Of campaign with the committee,
and then went off for a little rest with
friends. OF his trip he said
I'VE had a most satisfactory time in
every way. 1t Is remarkable to see the
change that has come over the people,
for they are now anxious to hear every
thing that can be told them as to the
political outlook, and they grasp the
situation at once. The work on Kauai
is most systematic and the prospects
are that every Republican candidate
will be elected. There is strong COM
bination working for Republican sue
cess this year. The Gays, the WilcoXes,
the Rices. are all out strong for the
ticket, and they are using to great ad-
vantage their long standing friendship
with the Hawaiian people, who are in
turn pledging their strength to the
party.
Il am delighted with the feeling on
the island and believe that we will win
there, for the entire republican ticket.
All the candidates were with us on the
trip and the people seemed to favor
their candidacy"
AS the result of the long conference
between the candidate for delegate and
the executive committee yesterday, it
was decided that he should go to Maui
tomorrow, and that he should return to
this city October Goth to spend the last
week in work here This will give him
ample lime to cover Maui, and as well
will permit him to have time to see
everyone OF the voters on oahu, so that
there viii be no difficulty about the
interest or dash OF the closing week of
the campaign. The arrangements for
the Maui week have been put in the
hands Of the district committee there,
and Chairman Pogue will notify the
local body as to the steamer to be used
and the route which will furnish the
accompany the candidate, and In fact
II may be that he will make this trip
without anyone except the local candi-
dates.
