REPUBLICANS AT KALIHI.
Rcpublicanism invaded what has
been regarded as a hotbed Of Home
Rulsm last night and from the large
attendance upon the meeting and the
enthusiasm with which the speakers
were received, there seems to have
come a change over the hearts of the
people living at the Kalihi Detention
camp. The meeting, held in the AS
semby hall of the camp proved too
much for the confines of that large
room, and at every window and each
door there was a group of people eager
to hear what was said and applaud the
points made by the speakers.
Prince Kuhio Kalanianaole was the
principal speaker of the evening, and
when he entered the room there was
applause which showed the place he
holds in their esteem. The candidate
for Delegate began by telling the peo-
pie why he had decided to cast his lot
with the Republicans. He said thai
Territory was what to do to accom-
plisn something. If the aim of the peo'
pie was to have some weight at the
capital, then it was time for them tt
| Join that party which had in the Con
gress the majority of the votes. HI
said there were no Home Rulers a
! Washington and consequently the Del
egate had no party to work with him
He said he had gone into the work o
politics for the purpose of aiding thu
people to take the place which should
be theirs. Home Rule seemed to hin
at first to be the proper thing, but whel
he came to examine the status of thu
parties nationally he found there wer'
but two, and that 1t was impossible Il
accomplish anything unless the mem
/ Der belonged to one of those great or
CARNATIONS. For himself he found tina
the principles of Republicanism wer'
those which appealed to him as beint
the best for the people and so he ha'
| taken up that party and would endeav
or to make his work with it effective
I for the public good.
The Democrats, he said were trying
| to swallow the Home Rulers, all o
| onto the office.
Turning to the leper question tn
! Prince took up the statements of Sen
! ator Burton, who he said had beel
| quoted by Wilcox as one of his friends
as to the further segregation of the lep
ers. This meant, he said, that II tn
Wilcox leper bill was passed and tn
unfortunates on Molokai were put un
der the charge of the national govern
ment, they would be torn apart, wiVe
from their husbands and children fror
their parents, and the men sent in on
| direction and the women in another
This was the foundation of the Wilco
bill, and its passage must be prevente
IL new trouble were not to be brough
upon the lepers.
He said that Wilcox had called hir
a snake but the fact was that in nj
travels, which had taken him all owe
the world, he had never found a tim
when he was not able to take care
himself and he would do so now. IL
said he was an Hawaiian, and as chill
of the soil he came and hoped to b
judged.
l.. l.. McCandless, a candidate for IN
senate. spoke after Sam kaloa had Ell
tertained the audience with a humoi
Gus address, dwelling upon the fa'
that there was no fear of change
the franchise. for the Republican part
had made it possible for Hawaiians
vote and they would not take away II
privilege.
w. c. Achi explained his actions
the last legislature and then turnin
: to the hard times, blamed the Hon
| Rule party for failing to pass bill
I which were necessary. II. c. Vida,
4 l.. Kaulukou and others spoke in II
! same strain and along the same line
, and the meeting adjourned amid muo
= enthusiasm,
