meeting of the Republicans in the drill
shed and who is doing such good work
among the men of the wharves for the
good Of the Republican party
olepau Of the WharVes.
The speaker told why he had become
a Republican and touched briefly or
some of the shortcomings of the HON,
Rule party. He said that he felt con-
WINGED that all those who desired to
work for the good of the Territory
should be enlisted in the ranks Of the
Republican party. The day would come
when Hawaii would be working fol
statehood and at that time II would
be seen that I'm order to secure this
much wished for contamination II
would be necessary to belong to I
party which had invariably worked
for the good of the nation.
The speaker said he had been with
Wilcox through three revolutions and
had been a staunch Aloha Alma mem.
Der. That was all past and gone and
Hawaii had come under the jurlsdic'
ton of the United States. This being
the fact the natives should enroll their
names on the lists of an American
party and work under such party for
the good they hoped to attain. Natu-
rally he was lover OF his flag. What
native would not be. However, times
had changed and In order to do any
thing toward the political welfare OF
the country IL would be necessary C
work for the party Of progress-the Re
publican party.
Aylett Says Why.
The next speaker was Representa-
tive Aylett who took as his principal
theme the ineligibility of August
Dreier as a candidate on the side OF
the Home Rule and Democratic par.
ties. He stated that w. w. Harris
the young man who is running as a
candidate on the Republican side, was
q qualified voter and resident of the
Fourth District in which he. voted al
the last general election and in which
he would vote at the coming special
election.
On the other hand, Mr.. Dreier, the
opposing candidate, was not quail
fed voter and should not, according
to the law, be allowed to vote or "a
run as candidate. Mr.. Dreier was a
good man but voters should remember
that II would be a very bad thing Ia
vote for man who is not qualified Ia
become a legislator Of the Territory al
this particular time. Voting for Mr.
Dreier would mean to throw away q
ballot. Every man expected when ht
dropped his ballot into the box that II
would result in something. II this was
what was desired II would be best fol
everybody to vote for Mr.. Harris.
Paulo, Former Home Ruler.
The next speaker on the list was
Paulo Hokii and at his appearance
there was a storm OF applause fol-
Paulo was not long since a stauncf
member Of the Home Rule party and
one Os the members of The executive
committee of that party. u, had al,

among the natives and was most active
at the last general election. His Gp,
pearance on the Republican tide was
therefore taken as a great victory BY
the members OF that party present.
The speaker did not spare the party
to which he had formerly belonged
He called on all Hawaiians who were
loyal to the interests Of their country
to array themselves on the side of The
party of progress. He dwelt particul'
larly on the fact that when Wilcox re,
turned from Washington some tint
ago and saw how things we're goinI
there he had the Home Rulers tack or
the end OF their name the word Repub,
lican for the sole purpose OF getting
into line with the party dominant In
politics on the Mainland. He said thai
II this was the proper thing to do. anC
he had no doubt for single minute
that 1t was, why would It Not be tho
best thing to come out unequivocally
for the Republican party. That would
be the most sensible thing to do
Paulo said further that the men wiz
represented the best interests OF the
country and the men of substance wert
nearly all on the Republican side. This
certainly showed something. II show
ed that their good judgment had die,
tated that way.
BY way of concluding his remarks
Paulo said that everyone knew that
August DreieT was an old humbug. He
could neither read nor write, and 4
would be a great mistake for people
to vote for him.
Referring to the last Legislature
Paulo said that all the bills of any
value were presented by the Republi
cans and that the Home Rulers, being
In the majority, had killed them, there
by preventing good legislation.
