KAUArS VOTERS
ARE REPUBLICAN
Great Gatherings Greet Prince
Kuhi0 On His Island
Tour.

HAWAII is ALL RIGHT.
Advices from Hawaii are that the
progress of the republican campaign is
decidedly satisfactory. Just as II was
on this island, the registration has been
most pleasing to the party workers.
The total registration for the big island
is 1881, of which the first district has
1.571, and the second lao. This shows
an increase OF 264 in the registration for
the First district. The voters of Ko-
hala number 324.
Wilcox has not been making much
progress, according to the letters re-
ceived saturday, az he went on to
Waimea where he was to meet Palmer
Woods The very latest thing in cam
paign stories comes from Kohala. After
the arrival of Wilcox on Wednesday
last a story began to be circulated that
Prince kuho was under arrest and in
Jail here The charge was said to be
practically lese majestic. for it was ex-
planned that the Prince had been crit
icising Wilcox and saying hard things
about him and his work, and the United
states government protected its repre-
sentatives and delegates in congress
from such remarks.
Stephen Desha, candidate for senator
from that island, who has been accom-
panying Prince Kuhio about for the
past two weeks. will leave for Hilo to
carry on his own fight in the Claudine,
Tuesday. He will, according to the
plans which are being talked of now.
Ike a hard and ia fipht for the
two weeks, and thus will prevent any
voters from being led away by eleventh
hour remarks or promises of the Home
Rulers. He will tour the island again
and will have with him a company of
the local candidates in each district
in his absence Senator Paris is making
a hard fight, and the prospects are that
, there will be a complete turning over
of the island before the end of the cam
raign.
MAUI GAINING GROUND.
More hopeful reports for the Repub-
lican ticket come from the island of
| Maui. The throwing into the campaign
of the Democratic ticket, at the last,
has given a new impetus to the Repub-
lican campaign, for, always hopeful,
lieve they will be able to snow under
Senator William White. John Richard
son, who is making the hardest fight
| for the Democrats, Is confident that he
may win yet, as he is of opinion that
White is losing supporters among his
own party. 1t is said to be generally
| recognized that the nomination OF
White, and the failure to pull him
| 1nun fnr nar1nprat when the fusion
was agreed upon, was a political blum
| der on the part of Wilcox, and Mauites
are now insisting that the members OF
! the nominating convention were forced
by the Honolulu pressure of Wilcox and
| kalauokalani to put up the former SEN
| ator.
Col. w. II. Cornwell, who returned
| from trip to Maui Saturday, said that
ne had heard nothing but that Dickey
was gaining ground, and that it would
| be a fight between him and Clark, with
White falling out of the race before its
end. He said the whole Democratic
ticket was gaining ground, which
means that there is increased majority
! for the entire Republican list in sight
The condition on Molokai is even bet

reading all that has been said concern.
| ing the leper question and the result Is
| that there might be danger for Home
Ruler appearing there and advocating
| the placing of the settlement under
control of the United States. Letters
on Saturday ask for new literature and
say that the lepers are very much con-
/ cerned over the campaign and are us

PLANS FOR FIGHTING.
Steps may be taken today to secure
| the organization of travellers for COM
merCial houses on something of the line
! Of the National Commercial Travellers
| Republican Association. There are
most of the travelling men who are good
| Republicans but there are sill in the
| list men who, while working for pro-
| gressive houses, find time when on the
other islands to do considerable
knocking" both Of the party and OF
| the candidate. The plan is being con-
! sdered of securing the influence of all
| these travellers for the Republican tick
ct, SO that they may be OF assistance
! during the last two weeks in pushing
| the party canvass.
