WANT To
SWALLOW
HOME RULE
Caypless Will Aid
In Getting a
Fusion.
BELIEF THAT NEW
LINES WILL RULE
Many Leaders of Both Orsaniza-
tons Are of Opinion That
There Will Be Union.

Home RuIeism is considered as dead
by more than a few of those who fought
under hat standard during the past
campaign, and there will be made at
once al earnest endeavor to transfer tht
allegiance of the members of the late
party to the Democracy. This was de-
cided upon recently during the ON
ferences between leaders of the party
locally and ONE of the men at the
head of the Home Rule organization.
Not the least of the missions which
take Edgar Caypless, late candidate for
the Senate on the Home Rule ticket, to
Washington. for which city he departed
yesterday, is to keep in touch with the
leaders of the Democratic party during
the winter, and to endeavor to have
such arrangements made as will lead
TO the giving up of the old line of party
division here and the reorganization on
theS lines which divide parties on the
mainland. This has been a dream with
Caypless for more than a few months,
for he it was who initiated the nego-
ces during the last campaign, and had
written the letters which brought to-
gether the Democratic leaders and the
Home Rulers for the first talks over
fusion.
Caypless would say nothing yester-
day. when seen at the steamer. which
might be construed as outlining his
policy. He admitted that he had taken
steps last winter looking to the maxi
ing of a combination of forces between
the Home Rulers and the Democrats,
and said that he had the sanction of all
the Democratic leaders, such as Jones,
Griggs and Blackburn. to his moves,
and in his opinion there would be yet
some such division of the voters here,
along the lines which mark party or
g%anization elsewhere.
From other sources it is learned that
the leaders of the democracy here are
in communication with the party nan
ayers on the mainland for the purpose
of endeayoring to have them inaugu-
rate a campaign directed upon the
Home Rulers, aiming to induce the
leaders 20 agree to amalgamate forces
so that there may be sharply drawn
lines here as elsewhere in the country,
between the two parties which domi-
nate national politics. The. plan is to
have Wilcox absolutely convinced that
there is no future for the Home Rule
party, and to have him commence a
campaign of education looking to the
speedy dropping of the name, and the
organization of the voters who have
followed him. into Democratic clubs,
81 that they may have a share in the
work of organization of the Democratic
party two years hence, when there will
be delegates to the national convention
to select, as we'll aSthe legislature and

which he handled for the Delegate dur

said that he still had IN interest in the
passage of the Kohala Ditch bill and
that it would surely go through during
the coming session. AS to other legis-
iation he would say nothing, but among
his friends it is the belief that he will
endeavor to have certain amendments

Delegate Wilcox and Mrs. Wilcox
We're at the dock and the latter had q
long and earnest consultation with the
attorney before his departure. Caypless
said that he could not tell how long he
would be at Washington, but that he
would probably stay at the very least
