WANT TO
SWALLOW
HOME RULE
CaypIess Will Aid
In Getting a
Fusion.
CFrom Wednesdays daily)

Home Rueism is considered as dead
by more than a few Of those who fought
under that standard during the past
campaign. and there will be made at
once an earnest endeavor TO transfer tht
allegiance Of the members Of the late
party to the Democracy. This was de-
eIded upon recently during the con-
ferences between leaders Of the party
locally and some 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
10 the giving up Of the old line OF party
division here and the reorganization on
the lines which divide parties on the
mainland. This has been a dream with
Caypess for more than a few months.
for he Il was who initiated the nego-
tiations for such an assembling of for
ces during the last campaign, and had
written the letters which brought to-
Kether 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 max
ing OF a combination OF forces between
the Home Rulers and the Democrats,
and said that he had the sanction Of all
ha narpnsratia laaharg gIlph .JOneg.
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
Eanization elsewhere.
FROM other sources II Is learned that
the leaders OF the democracy here are
in communication with the party man
ayers on the mainland for the purpose
of endeavoring to have them inaugu-
rate a campaign directed upon the
Home Rulers, aiming to induce the
leaders TO 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
campaign OF education looking to the
speedy dropping OF the name, and the
organization Of the voters who have
followed him, into Democratic clubs,
80 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 well as the Legislature and
the Delegate to Congress.
1t IS understood that Caypless will
stop few days on the Coast and then
viii proceed to Washington, where he
will continue the fight for the measures
which he handled for the Delegate dur
Ing the last session OF Congress He
said that he stil had an interest I'm the
passage OF the Kohala Ditch bill and
that it would surely go through during
the coming session. As to other legis-
lation he would say nothing, but among
his friends It is the belief that he will
endeavor TO have certain amendments
to the organic act passed, one OF these
being a section to take the power Of ap-
Pointment of heads OF departments from
the Governor, and to give the right
to the people at the general elections.
Delegate Wilcox and Mrs. Wilcox
were at the dock and the latter had
long and earnest consultation with the
attorney before his departure Caypless
said that ho could not tell how long he
would be at Washington, but that he
would probably stay at the very least
two months and perhaps until the end
of the session. The delegate will not
60 or until the China next week, which
will put him in Washington just at the
opening OF the session.
