REPUBLICANS AT KALIHT.
Republicanism invaded what has
been regarded as a hotbed of Home
Rulism last night and from the large
attendance upon the meeting and the
enthusiasm with which the speakers
were received, there seems to have
people living at the Kalfhi Detention
camp. The meeting, held in the AS
| sembly hall of the camp, proved too
much for the confines of that large
room, and at every window and each
door there was a group of people eager
to hear what was said and applaud the
points made by the speakers.
Prince Kuhio Kalanianaole was the
principal speaker of the evening, and
when he entered the room there was
applause which showed the place he
holds in their esteem. The candidate
for Delegate began by telling the peo-
pie why he had decided to cast his lot
with the Republicans. He said that
the problem before the people of the
Territory was what to do to accom-
plish something. If the aim of the peo-
pie was to have some weight at the
capital then it was time for them to
join that party which had in the Con-
gress the majority of the votes. He
said there were no Home Rulers at
Washington and consequently the Del
egate had no party to work with him.
He said he had gone into the work of
politics for the purpose of aiding the
people to take the place which should
be theirs. Home Rule seemed to him
at first to be the proper thing, but when
he came to examine the status of the
parties nationally he found there were
but two, and that it was impossible to
accomplish anything unless the mem
Der belonged to one Of those great or
ganizations. For himself ne found that
the principles of Republicanism were
those which appealed to him as being
the best for the people and so he had
taken up that party and would endeav
or to make his work with it effective
for the public good.
The Democrats, he said, were trying
to swallow the Home Rulers, all Of
which was a scheme of Wilcox to hold
onto the Office.
Turning to the leper question the
Prince took up the statements of SEN
ator Burton, who he said had been
quoted by Wilcox as one of his friends.
as to the ,terther segregation of the lep-
ers This meant, he said, that if the
Wilcox Ieper bill was passed, and the
unfortunates on Molokai were put I'M
der the charge of the national govern
rnent, they would be torn apart, wives
from their husbands and children from
their parents, and the men sent in one
direction and the women in another.
This was the foundation of the Wilcox
BILL and its passage must be prevented
if new trouble were not to be brought
upon the lepers.
He said that Wilcox had called him
