HOME RULERS
DECRY REPUBLICANS
D clare That They Alone Favol
County Government
Plans.

The 'crematory" bugaboo was parad-
ed before a crowd of Hawaiians last
night at a meeting of Home Rulers
held at the corner of Punchbowl and
Emma streets. Frank Harvey, DEM
ocratic Home Ruler, brought 1t out
with few more tags dangling from it.
The "oligarchy' at the Capitol was de-
nounced by one Of the Home Rule can
didates, once Democrat, who has sup
ported the "oligarchy'' for years with
his sword, as an officer of the National
Guard. Among the speakers were Jesse
Makainai, C. j. Mccarthy, E. Caypless,
Moses Kaaikaulu, Sam Kamakaai and
Kailiiloa.
C. ]. Mccarthy said the city and
county government plank in their plat
form was their war-cry in the cam
paign. BY voting for the Home Rule
ticket the natives were absolutely as
sured of the passage of the act The
Republican party claimed to advocate
the passage of the act but they would
not pass it. He said that although the
Republicans had city and county
plank in their platform yet none of the
speakers had touched upon the subject
until tainted to do SO by the Home
Rule and Democratic candidates.
.'They (the Republicans now find
that the majority of the electors of
this Territory are disguised with the
government and the oligarchy in the
Capitol building, and the people now
selves in city and county affairs. The
Republicans have put in plank for
city and county government but they
don't intend to carry it out. Their ac-
lions in the past speak for themselves"
Sam KaInakaai said that the closing
up of the city cemeteries was due to
politics, and for this reason the natives
should not vote for the Republicans.
Kailiilea paid his respects to the Re-
publican candidates, running them
down in characteristic Home Rule
style. He said the natives were out of
work here because there were too many
Asiatics in the country, and Isenberg
should not be voted for because he IA
vored the coming of more Asiatics.
Frank Harvey said that Wilcox
went to Washington after the Republi-
cans had advised officials there not to
receive him, and he carried his burden
as did Jesus His cross. He advised the
natives that if their employers boycott
ted them during election and did not
give them work, to let their bosses"
believe they were followers of the
Prince, but on election day to vote the
Home Rule ticket.
He said that the natives should not
vote for the Republicans because they
were the ones doing all the cremating.
A startling statement by Harvey was
that the Republicans were trying to
get majority in the House because
lilSy luteuuSu " lolil d CIS2udtOTy d.
sociation, and they would have shares
in it. The object of it all was to have
natives cremated.
. Jesse Makainai said that Mckinley
had told the Hawaiians the Queen could
not be restored, but he had sent word
here for the Hawaiians to rule Hawaii,
and he understood by this that the Ha-
waiians should form their party. He
said the governor would veto the city
and county act even though he had
thirty days in which to consider it. The |
meeting was concluded by the singing
of Hawaii Ponoi."
