Fine Luau Planned
In Honor of
Winning.
Committees Will Take
Up Task of Preparing
for Event.

Republican success at the polls will
be celebrated by a monster luau, If the
plans which have been made are
carried through by the general COM
mittee. The proposals call for . great
feast at some central point like the
Capitol grounds at which there shall be
provided a varied bill of fare for some
thing like 5000 people, and at which
there shall be such a review of the
voters by the men who won, as will
show the integrity of the Republican
column and outline the future course of
the party.
The plans for the feast have been un-
der way for the past week, in fact since
the returns showed that Prince Kuhio
was the winner of the polling. The
members of the Legislature elect be-
gan the work OF preparation, and their
first duty was the making of an esti-
it should cost. The price was fixed at
$500 and it was decided that there
! should be every element of the old
fashioned feast made prominent in the
luau, and that in addition there should
be a parade of the voters reviewed by
the candidates who won.
The final meeting of the members
( elect held yesterday morning passed a
J a. L.. a
and that the Central committee take
charge of it and make it a success. The
report set forth as well that there has
been donated for the purpose of meet
ing the expenses $425 and that meats
for the affair had been promised to
the extent of something like $3.50 more.
This would leave to be furnished not
more than $500, and it is the belief of
the men interested that this could be
secured within a short time.
When this report was received by the
members of the central committee at
the meeting last evening there was lit
tie discussion of the matter. 1t was
the unanimous opinion that there
should be some such celebration of the
success of the party, and on motion a
committee of which E. c. Winston is
the chairman, was named for the pur-
pose of securing the funds or at least
of making at a meeting this afternoon,
a report upon the practicability of car
rying through the plans for the luau.
1t was represented to the committee
that there are several firms in the city
who which have in mind the tender to
their employees some such feast in cele-
bration of the victory and they will not
make their feast personal but will be
willing to join with the committee In
some such general celebration of the
victory which means so much to the
Republicans and the people of the ISL
ands in general 1t is said to be the
intention to draw no lines in this feast
but to make it one which will include
everyone no matter Of what party as 1t
is intended that the entire people shall
make merry.
The intention il possible is to have the
tables laid on the lawn on the makai
front of the executive building. The
meats will be cooked in the rear and
every arrangement will be made which
will mean the quick and fresh service
of the people. There will be concert
by the band in the dinner hour and it
is hoped that the bands from the Ore
gon and the New York viii be kept in
readiness to add to the festive occasion.
It is expected that the affair will be
set for Saturday evening of this week.
