WILCOX MAKES BIG FIGHT
FOR DAVID KALAUOKALANI

! their stores the trade which now goes

! Board OF Health are now, through vac
cination, putting the disease into the
young children they will continue
| the disease for all time. If the settle
ment was under the control of the
United States the patients would have
the best of medicines and care and
within ten years there would be found
just what was best for them, and the
disease would be checked. But they
are still vaccinating our young chill
dren and cases are breaking out every
day.
Tie platform was amended as noted
but even before the whole could be
passed there was some question as to
how the committees recommended were
to be chosen, some delegates wanting
representation from other islands on
the committees Wilcox answered one
objector. who wanted some pronounce
snent direct as TO the county bill, that
the bill would take time to prepare
and it would be one of those which
would be shaped by the committee on
laws. The two committees recommend
ed were then named by the chairman
as follows:
On reception and entertainment of
the commission-Prince- Cupid, d. Ka-
iauokalani, D. Kanuha, J. NJ Poepoe
and Jesse p. Makainai
On the preparation of bills-E Cay
pless, John Wise, j. NJ. Poepoe. C. A.
Long, John Emmeiuth.

other man, and De ready for any ser
vice for the good OF the country and
Ieople. He said he was not ashamed
to say that he knew that every one

them pull together. There were, he
insisted, enemies of the people at Wash
ington who were working to keep the
people out of their rights, and to pre-
vent them from getting what they
should have. He said CaypIess had
more power at the capital than Gov
erncr Dole, for the heads of the Coy
e':'useEt had taken the powa- away
from Dole and given it to Caypless.
People here had tried to have the right
To vote taken from the Hawaiians, but
Wilcox and Caypless had fought for it
and had won.
1t took Caypiess some time to get
-eady to speak, as he could nos find the
that he wanted for a time |
He began by explaining that he had !
oeen suffering from a cold and could |
not speak long. He went on in SON a |
thlng OF this fashion, speaking rapidly |
and at times falling to permit inter- |
pretation:

home Rulers want to know and should !
know; very many that their enemies |
