Republicans will make brave show

ing, and with torchlight procession and
speeches will mark the progress of the
campaign. Prince Kuhio will be the
principal speaker, and the meeting will
be the most elaborate, and without
doubt the largest, which has been held
as yet The meeting viii be held at
Emma square.
That there may be no counter Re-
publican gathering, the Young Mems
Republican Club has abandoned its an
nounced meeting for the Orpheum on
that evening, and the members of the
committees of the club will turn In
and give all their weight to make the
turnout impressive. The committee in
charge has arranged that there shall
the rendezvous on Union square, from
which point the marching men will
take their way over the principal
downtown streets to Emma square.
The officers who will have charge OF
the procession have not been announe-
ed, nor has the line of march been
fixed. But these details will be fixed
during today, and the entire arrange
ments will be in shape.
The change of place for the meeting
was made owing to the fact that the
outlook is for such an attendance Of
Republicans, and those who will wish
to hear the speech of the Prince, that
they could not be gathered within the
walls of the orpheum. 1t has been
found that there are larger gatherings.
too, out OF doors, and this has had to
do with the change of plans for Sat
urday evening. There is, as well, on
Saturday evening a great meeting at
the Kaiihl camp, and it is expected
that the Prince will go there when he
has finished his speech at Emma
square. This of course cannot be de-
cided until the return of the leader, as
his trip may have proved exhausting
Prince Kuhio has changed his course
within the week, and instead of con-
tinuing at work on the island of Maui
as he planned, he is now in Hilo.
This determination was reached owing
to the fact that he considered that his
promise to the people there should be
kept, and they should have the oppor-
tunity to hear him again. According
to information received by telegraph
yesterday the Prince left Maui in the
Claudine, and would spend the days
while the ship lays there, In the Hilo
and Puma districts, taking the Claud
inc back to Maui, and working there
until the Mauna Loa passes, which
would nut him here for the last week
only, his return being on October 2S.
ans is not what had been planned
and yesterday urgent messages were
sent to him not to change the original
purposes of the committee in charge
of the meetings here. With as many
voters on Oahu as on the entire islands
outside, it is felt that he must give to
the WOrR mere as mncn time as poSsl-
Bile, and he is urged to be here after
October 25, when he should return in
the Claudine.
The last weeks work will be made
hard one, for there will be meetings
day and night, and some days more
than two gatherings, which he will be
asked to address. This will keep him
busy, and will give every voter on the
island a chance to hear him. 1t is
proposed that the meetings shall be
held at various points throughout the
island. and perhaps there will be
campaigning party go about with the
leader. There is also a bare possibil-
itv that Makekau, who was such an
effective speaker while here, VIII re-
turn with the Prince for the work.
