and It's Principles.
MR.. WILCOX ACTIVE
ISSUES FIERCELY DISCUSSED IN
THE ISLAND CAMPAIGN.
Harsh Epithets Banded About In

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.


HONOLULU, T. H.. August 10, 1902
The home rule republicans have just
adopted a platform. which they have sent
broadcast among the party men, The doc
ument begins with a preamble referring to
the ''inalienable rights" which the Declara-
ton of Independence set forth. and con-
tinues by saying that the American prin-
ciples of freedom and liberty have first
been established here by the great home
ruler, Kamehameha 1, when he declared the
Namalahoe decree, that the old men. old
women and children could sleep In the high
ways without molestation,' to be a law in
his realm"
After denouncing Hawafis centralized
form of government, and declaring that in
matters of local concern government ought
to be by direct vote of the people, the
platform of the Hawaiians gives thanks to
the United States Congress for it's action
in apportioning the seats in the Hawaiian
senate so that the home rule party main
tains its majority thereby showing full
confidence and recognition of the indepen-
dent home rule party.
The Platform Planks.
The platform also contains the following:
1--WE denounce all efforts to abridge, curtail
or disfranchise the Hawaiians of their
right to vote, based upon educational quali-
ffcation.
we pledge our candidate to vote for the
following bills in the legislature: The estab-
lishment of county and municipal govern
ment throughout the territory within ninety
days of the passage of bin providing
therefor
The regulation Of labor and the hours of
labor in all branches of work.
The furtherfng of the interests of the
farmers and day 1aborers by guaranteeing
them their wages at the end of each week.
We pledge ourselves to continuance of
the appropria ton for our beloved queen
The Hawaiian language, branch, to
be taught in the public schools, when
majority of the parents of children attend
ing such schools shall desire it.
Each and every senator and representa-
tive selected by the convention of the in
dependent home rule party to the legsla-
ture convenlng in February, 1903, do pledge
themselves that they must truly and faith
fully pass the county and city government
bill and all laws necessary as set forth in
this PLATFORM

A Republican Split on the Question.

The discussion of the proposed change is
the only political issue in Hawaii today,
but there is no such thing as party division
on the question. In the republican party
there are two elements, one joining the
home rule demand for Immediate city and
county government and the other wanting
TO wait for the change. The argument of
those VINO want the change at once is
largely that it Is the proper American sys-
tenn of allowing districts. cities and towns to
run their own affairs. while the other side
connnes itself In discussion to the question
of Increased taxation and the doubtful
capability of the electorate Of the territory
to undertake local self-government SO far
the republican platforms that have been
promulgated have declared for city and
county government when nractica hie

Wilcox's Defeat Possible.

Delegate r. w. Wilcox Is still canvassing
the Islands. He Is meeting with many
signs Of defections Of natives. There is no
doubt that the chances Of a white mans
eeIection to Congress are much better this
year than they were before There is an
element of much strength in the republi-
can party that demands the nomination Of
a white man, there being no native republi-
can who seems to be eligible and available,
and it is probable that the party will fol-
low this idea, in spite of those who say
none but a Hawaiian can be elected
The party conferences and ali political
signs now point to fusion of the demo-
Ruokoa boilers from the Wilcox party,
against Wilcox. According to all the po-
litical prophets of the three parties such
combination makes a Wilcox defeat certain
and such a defeat would practically put a
quietus royalism as an issue to coniure
with in Hawaii

A Characteristic Speech.


81 fought at Leahi Diamond Head for
the restoration of the queen" was the
peroration of Delegate to Congress VIII
cox's latest speech to a large crowd of ma
tives on the Island of Maui The delegate
Is more pronounced in his royalism and his
general opposition to whites this campaign
than he was last time. The issue of race
feeling Is stronger. more bitter. If this
sentiment should prevail this time other
party lines Will disappear. 1t Is freely pre-
dicted. and the future will see Hawaii d.
vide straightway on race lines.
''I was the only one of that august body
(Congress) that came from beyond the
seas" said Wilcox, 80 you can see the
exalted position in which your delegate
was placed and the honor that was con-
ferred upon him.
''My enemies have been raising the cry
that Wilcox Is a failure. and they are and
have been in every way trying to injure
me. They do this because they are jealous
of me. They hate not only Wilcox, but
they hate you-for to hate Wilcox Is to
hate you also. They think so much of
themselves that they place US very little
above cattle.
What do We want money for? Did not
the United States give US $50, 600 600 during
the twenty years Of the reciprocity treaty ?
And what were the natural effects of that?
Why, the country was so prosperous that
the poor Hawaiians mortgaged and sold
their lands and were pushed to the wall
and are now rendered homeless.
Campaign Epithets.
1.-The same people were concerned In the
overthrow of the constitution in 1887 and
in the overthrow of the monarchy in 1893.
These so-called republicans are responsible
for 1t. They are republicans; they arc
snakes. Do not be ensnared by them.
There's really no republican party here. In
the United States the republicans and DEM
ocrats are home rulers Hawaii wants
county government and not to be governed
by that long-bearded goat Of q Dole, who
hates Hawaiians.
Il want to carry out the intent OF United
States laws. These people only want to
eat pie and have us look on. We must
stand together until we rule Hawaii. These
snakes are now rich, but rich and poor
are alike In the United States. They are
all annexationists, these republicans and
democrats" - }3S So ~.
