the minds of the members OF the party.

Gin unity lies your success'D. During
the course of his remarks, the young
! speaker dwelt on the fact that the enc
mics OF the native Hawaiian had gone
beyond the confines Of Hawaii mel to
make their fight and their accredited
agents were in the Capitol of the ma
ton doing their dastardly work. To
win against such Vaccinations meant
that the Hawaiians would have Ia
stick together not only as party but
as q nation, for the fight was not alone
against the Home Rule party but
against the Hawaiians in general
The speaker referred to Mr.. Caypless
in very high terms. stating that the
work OF this friend OF the Hawaiians
in Washington could not possibly be
overestimated. In fact, he had more
political power in Washington than
Dole or any OF his followers. This he
could prove by results achieved.

Mr.. Caypless was next called on to
speak. He started out with an expla'
nation that he would not be able to say
very much as he had been suffering
greatly for the past week or so from 4

warmed to his subject. he forgot al
about the cold and continued speaking
for over a half hour. In starting out
he had the following to say:

Home Rulers want to know and should
know. but that their don't want to hear
but must hear. Heretofore. IL has beer

accepted, that a Hawaiian had no ac'
