PRINCE CUPID ELECTED
FULL-BLOODED HAWAIIAN WILL BE
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS.
Was the Candidate Of the Republican
Party in the Sandwich Islands
Porto Rfco's Election.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-THE steamer
Alameda, from Honolulu. brings the news
that the recent election in the territory of
Hawaii resulted in a sweeping Republican
victory. Prince Kalanianaole, popularity
known as Prince Cupid, was elected dele
gate to Congress over Robert w. Wilcox,
the incumbent. and Democratic candidate.
by majority of 1900. When the Alameda
left the island port the full election re-
turns had not been received. The Island of
Maowi had not been heard from and the
exact result of the election of candidates
for the territorial Legislature was uncer-
tain. The Legislature will be almost entire
iy Republican. however, fifteen Repub-
hcan representatives and five senators are
known to have been elected.
Prince Kalanianaole. the congressional
delegate-elect, Is a full-blooded Hawaiian
and has in the past been identified with the
home-rule party. When both Republican
and Democratic parties offered him the
candidacy of territorial delegate he
cepted the Republican nomination. Both
candidates instituted a lively campaign
throughout the islands. Wilcox was elected
to Congress in 1900. defeating Samuel
Parker.
The report of the election, 1t is thought
by Republicans. marks the end of the home
rule party and division of the voters
along the lines of Republicanism and De-
mocracy. 1t is also regarded as disposing
largely or the race issue, and the issue of
royalism in Hawaiian politics, for the cam
paign OF Wilcox was largely based on his
record as royalist and on race feeling.
Inc most prominent issue in the campaign
was the proposal of Delegate Wilcox to
place the leper settlement on the Island of
Molokai under federal control. which was
embodied in bill introduced In the last
session OF Congress. 1t is highly unpopular
In Hawaii, and was made more so by a re-
mark attributed to United States Senator
Burton, OF Kansas, member of the COM
mission which recently visited Hawaii, to
the eject that IL the American government
took hold of the settlement it would sepa-
rate the sexes and enforce more rigid
rules than the local government has
adopted In the matter of quarantine. The
threat of more severe rule over the lepers
Is thought to have had a good deal to do
with the vote against Wilcox The white
vote was very strong for Prince Cupid and
the Republican ticket generally. The DEM
ocrats were divided.
Judge j. I. Debolt, of the First Circuit
Court, has instructed the grand jury for the
November term of court to make careful
and complete investigation into the alleged
defalcations in departments of the terri
torial government. An investigation is ex-
pected to result in a number of indict-
ments.
