III meeting OF the Executive Com
"A mittee OF that party tomorrow
evening for a declaration which VIII
mean much to them as to the future
policy in the matter of affiliations
Upon the nomination made by the par
tvs ruling committee 1t is understood
there will hang determination as to the
assumed amalgamation OF the Home
Rulers and the Democrats, in OPPOSE
ton to the Republicans.
There has been made a careful can
vass, which has extended to all the ISL
ands of the group, and the belief Is
that a majority OF the Democrats hope
to find their place in the ranks of the
Home Rulers against the Republicans.
The issue of the acceptance of the dec
larations of fealty of the Democrats Is
expected to rest upon the action of the
committee, when the declination Of Jo-
nah Kalanianaole of the proffered NOM
ination for representative is given to
the committee II Home Ruler of the
dyed in he-wool stripe is named for
the place, ]. X. Nakookoo for instance,
the Democrats will believe that the
majority party does not believe in the
expressions of loyalty which have come
from the Democrats, for tneir candi-
date for the nomination for the Fourth
district vacancy is John Wise.
Wise stock is above par for many
reasons. The most cogent of these is
the fact that he is a close friend of Mr..
Kalanianaole, and also of John f. Col
burn, whose fine Italian hand is ex-
pected to be felt in the coming cam
paien, owing to his personal repre-
sentative in the committee. Wise
year ago was IA Democrat of the Demo-
of the delegates to the national con-
vention Of that party which nominated
Bryan. he was "A member of the COM
mittee on resolutions, who committed
the party to free silver, despite the fact
that when he came home he was not
able to tell u mass meeting whether
free silver was tariff schedule or dis
ease which should call for quarantine.
There will come before the commit
tee another question which will be the
subject Of much discussion. This is
that which is raised In the letter Of
Delegate Wilcox, which was read at
the last meeting of the committee, and
printed in whole in the Home Rula of
January 4th. While the delegate seems
to say that he is at the disposition of
the party he let's it be seen that he
deems the position of delegate of great
er weight than that of Governor of the
Territory. This leaves it to the party
to declare whether or not he shall stay
at Washington or try to be the Execu-
tive OF the Territory. 1t is understood
that there will be introduced at the
meeting resolution declaring that
Wilcox shall accept the governorship,
and that Kalanianaole shall make the
race for Congress- There will be great
CTR fnr tn1, al In
ton and the chances are that it will
pass. The view Of affairs at the ma
tional capital taken by Wilcox is shown
in the following letter, of which Mrs.
Wilcox, in her paper. made translation
only of that part which relates to the
leper bill:
Two bills have been presented by me
that are of any consequence bill for
the dividing up OF the public lands into
homesteads of forty-acre lots. This bill
will be revised and put into proper
shape by the Commissioner of Public
Lands, and l am making an effort to
have ii so that all born citizens of Ha-
wall will get homesteads free if posi-
BILE. We will await the outcome The
second bill Is one that the lepers of
Kalaupapa are to be placed under the
jurisdiction of the Secretary of the
Treasury at Washington, that the
lepers of Kalaupapa will be better
cared for and that the very best doc
tors will be found to treat them until
cured. AS they are at present, they do
not receive medical treatment. but are
only being segregated until death, and
is only a place for money-making for
the Board OF Health--a business prop
osition. To save the lives Of our peo-
pie is my main object.
Dole will be retired. but no one from
Hawaii will be appointed. for the rea
son of the Dole factions continuous
dissension in the last Legislature. If
am not the Governor no other Hawaii
will be. The position of Delegate is
of much higher standing than that OF
Governor. but the wishes Of the people
are to be listened to.
The Governor of the future Is wend-
ing his way hither. He has to be one
year in Hawaii to qualify for the po-
stion of Governor. but he must be rec
commended by some Republican Sena-
tors here in Washington. Therefore,
all of the appointments of Hawaii
have to be made through me to be
gained, provided that the Senator's will
not NEEDLE with it here.
LAS to Breckons of Wyoming, / was
asked by Senators Clark and Warren
for my support, which l readily gave,
for the reason that they ara supporters
of our party.
Il am preparing a county law. The
main work of the future Will be the
county and the municipality. When
these laws are passed. then. the IA
maainas will have public positions. But
the positions Of Governor Judges and
other appointments from here will be
all given to malihinis, for the reason
that the President now knows tina. the
Dole party is opposed to tire Ha,aiians'
and that the malihinis are in meas
ure supporters of the Hawaiians.
Therefore the Dole Republicans are
now being paid for opposition In the
last session of the Legislature"
