Abandon Farms.

MAUI Aug. 23.-saturday, the 1eth'
the Maui Home Rulers held conven-
,ion in the Wailuku skating rink. Dele
gate wilcox was present and made an /!
effective political address. The ablhtieS
of wilcox as a politician are general
" underestimated. He well knows Ha-
waiian character, especially that OF the
dweller of the country districts and I'M
derstands how to play upon all It's
weaknesses, Iongings, and aspirations
He raised the old cry, so it is re-
ported, of Hawaii for Hawaiians'
which as interpreted by his hearers
meant that Hawaiians should have All
the offices. This sentiment was not
only appreciated by the Home Rule Ha-
waiian but also by his Republican
brother.
The nominations made were; VIM |
White of Lahaina, for senator ana the
following for representatives: Fred W. |
RackIev Of Molokai, Chas. Makekau OF
Tabaina. Rev. ]. X Hihio of Kama
nall. Sol. Kawaihoa of Waikiki, c:
7 .o.,is Kookoo of Waikiki. and Waile-
bua of Hama. Ahaulii Iokua of Kaupo
was on the slate but was defeated by
A1akekau. I.ahaina district the small
est on the island, comes in for the
HONS share.-a senator and two repre-
sentatives-while Makawao which Is
more than twice as large as regards
population is completely ignored
Monday. the 18th, new Republican
club was formed at Kihei with an en-
rollment of thirty members and James
Scott as chairman. This association
will be considered as branch of the
Precinct Nine club until after the ccm-
ing election.
Politics is game of surprises ano II

The Home Rulers are strong in wal
luku and Lahaina districts and the Re-
publicans in Makawao and Hama Al
the last election there was tendency
toward democracy in Lahaina which is
At nresent pointed toward Republican

The Home Rule ticket, in regard 10
! candidates. is no stronger if as strong
as last time and the indications are
that il viii receive less support in Hama
/ and Iahaina. The Republicans will
probably nominate a stronger team
