marching men reached PaIaua II had
been decided that there should be no
longer waits and the meeting was called
TO order by Chairman Kane, who adj
dressed the people at length saying that
the fight now closing WAS one which
called for the best energy OF the voters
who would see their country prosper
He urged the people 10 give their At
tention 10 the arguments and weigh 1
carefully every point before they de-
terInined just what they Should do on
Tuesday. ii
1t was only a short time until the
paraders, after the men had marched
around the block where the meeting
was held. entered the grounds and en-
closed the space held by the general
audience, and there cheered the candi-
dates. interfering with the meetings
progress but at the same time showing
their appreciation of the party and its
standard bearers When quiet had been
restored and after some music the meet
ing proceeded quietly until the time had
come for the appearance of Prince ku-
hio. The sight. of the young man whose
name heads the list of the grand old
party caused the hundreds TO stand and
cheer for him, while the quintet cluo I
sang the song which tells of his life.
Beginning by saying he was standing.
for election on the Republican ticket
for the reason that he thought the
greatest good would come TO the peo-
pie, he said ne would not permit any +
man TO claim greater loyalty 10 his
flag than he prince Kuhio) felt. either
now or of old. but the great nation
of America had taken this country and !
every one who had the best interest OF /
the Territory must accept the situation
and work for the best interests of all I
II was the duty OF the people he said +
10 look TO the future and not TO live
in the past He told how the queen had
always suffered when the advice OF
| Kalauokayani and others OF the same
stripe had been taken. and the result
was that of today. He showed that
their advice always was wrong and yet
they had not the courage TO come and
say so.
/ When the subject of annexation came
up. he said, it became the duty of every
I Hawaiian 10 investigate carefully but
Wilcox rushed out and became vice
president of the first Annexation club.
Further KalauokaIani had gone 10 the
United States and made an effort there,
but when he returned and announced
that tl1ree-fourths OF the work against
annexation had been done. the very
next session of Congress passed the
bin annexing the Territory TO the main
land. and this again showed their in
capacity 10 work or TO appreciate the
! value of action They do not accept
the situation and act for the future of
the Territory, but they hang back and
work along lines which tend to create
distrust and nl-feeiing, and which will
cause trouble in the future. You may
not feel friendly 70 some Republicans
and so not want to join the party. but
remember that there are Republicans
on the mainland as well as those here
and you are simply placing yourselves
in line with them continued the
Prince. Wilcox says II il better TO
be on the fence. What has it hens-
fitted the people so far? / say TO you
that II viii be better 70 send 10 Wash
ington a man who belongs 10 the major
ity party Wilcox so said when he re-
turned and added the name Republican
TO the Home Rule title. When the late
President Mckinley and President
Roosevelt were nominated at PhiladeI-
phia, HaHaiians sat in the convention
| and voted for them both, When Bryan
was named We know that ii was by the
votes of Hawaiians that he was chosen
as the Democratic leader Have you
/ ever heard of Home Rulers having a
| seat in A convention 10 name a candi-
date for any office IN the Federal gov
ernment2 There is no such party there
and q vote for Wilcox means a vote 70
keep Hawaii from getting benefits Sc
cured by the rest Of the nation

the Federal government in which the
Home Rulers have a share The ap-
, pointments OF the officials were made
by Republicans, and there never VIII
be another appointment without the
consent of the Republicans here, If the
people take up the party and work
} through it. Nothing can be expected
for the Territory unless 1t is secured
through the Republican party
Taking up the leper question the
Prince salu that placing the care OF
those unfortunaIes in the hands OF q
maiihini doctor would mean deprIva-
ton and would cause them more
, misery. and that instead Of any of them
going free there would be greater re-
strictions. The Prince asked if the peo-
pie who had followed Wilcox through
J failure after failure had not had
enough Of him.
wilcox says I am a kid" began the
Prince, I am here for you 10 see if /
act and talk like a baby He says too
I have been bought by rhe monied men
That is not true in any way. The Home
} Rulers say that Republicans attacked
Jimmy Boyd. That is absolutely IN
, true. Why when he was in trouble who
} went to his assistance Did Wilcox
, come? No. I did and yet il is Wilcox
who is always talking of his love for
the Hawaiians- Caypless tells you how
nucn he loves the Hawaiians, yet just
; as scon as ne gets his pockets fun he
} VIII leave the country very quickly for
ne has no ties here. Motley is a man
who has been accused Of profiting by
public office. In fact the Home Rulers,
claiming that they are Aloha Alma are
such for the good Of their pockets only
and not for the benefit Of the people.
II elected I shall work for the people
all the time.
