Wilcox rambled over the same ground
as before. calling on the natives to
vote for him and all Home Rulers and
by doing so and making county govern
ment a certainty they would all be
rich and could vote for all the officers
in the territory and have a finger in
the pudding.
Kalauokalani. Jr, made some re-
markable and picturesque statements.
He said that America was first govern
ed by the Home Rule party, not Repub-
licans and Democrats. There was real
ly only one party in the United States
now-the Home Rule party II it were
United States there would be no Demo-
Gratis or Republican parties. County
and municipal government in the
United States was erected by the Home
Rulers. The Home Rule party in Ha-
waii was the same as in the United
States. When Porto Rico was taken
over by the United States a Home Rule |
party was organized and the same
think took place in the Philippines. At

Democrats help the Home Rulers along
in Hawaii?" said Kalauokalani, opio. /
The chairman of a committee whom
the speaker forgot to mention by name,
had said If Wilcox brought in muni-
cipal and county bill he would not rec
ognize the Republicans or Democratsl
as they were only robbers and thieves.
Moses Nakuina said he had been a
Republican for two years. The reason
he left the party was because his son
(Fred Beckley) had fired O bullet at
the Republican party and they goti
out of him by firing him
out of office" He then went into Ha-
waiian history Of the past thirteenI
years, asking If IL was the Home Rul-
ers who had required the king to signI
a new constitution. overthrown theI
Queen, secured annexation. etc He an
swered in the negative. He said II was

They cried for annexation, and they
got it, he said They said we would
all have plenty of money. But have vel
got it? No. Then they did not want
and then they tried TO take
away our votes They are the biggest :
