not necessary. This brought him to
the breaking of faith with the people
on the part of Home Rulers. He SAID
that the people had given into their
hands a sacred trust. 1t vas like a
man turning his mona over to another
for safe keeping. II he came and de-
uanded his own and was told that it
had been lost he would not trust That
man again but would find another 50
the Home Rulers having broken their
trust. should not be given another
chance. 1t was time he said for the
peopIe to see that the Republican party
stood for the advancement of the coun-
+r.v and the people should put their af-
fairs in the hands of the n2Tty.
AS to Wilcox he said tie -slness
neonle had to employ another to go on
to washington for the purpose of push
ing the fire claims bill, and when Pratt
had got it through the Senate Wilcox
was not there to put it through the
House but was at home campaigning,
trying to get office once more. The
people, he said, could not afford to send
a man to washington who would work
for self and not for the good of Hawaii
He called attention to the great change
in the past two years, and attributed
all to Home Rule Acknowledgement.
Chairman A. @. NJ. Robertson salo
that the matter of selecting candidates
for the legislature was one of business,
and only men tried and true must be
chosen. 1t is not the man who talks
longest or loudest that is the best can
didate, despite the making of Home
Rule selections on that basis. He urged
the people to seek the best men and
said Achi and McCandless would be
members who would work for the good
of Hawaii.
Senator Achi began saying that he
was sorry to have to say that the last
legislature did not do what it should
have DONE and he was glad to be able
to say that a Republican legislature
would do just what it promised to do.
He referred to the fact that in the past
forty-two years America had been in
the hands of democrats only eight
years. This he said showed the pros
perity which follows Republican adj
ministration. 1t was time to change he
said when one found he was wrong,
and only the mailman would butt his
head against a wall He said that if the
people wanted prosperity they should
see to it that the next legislature was
safely Republican
A Home Ruler here asked Senator
Achi what he thought of city and
county government and he answered
that he found that in the United States
there was such a system. Under the
bill introduced by the Home Rulers the
plan was for an absolute monopoly,
which, he said, he could not support.
For a broad and liberal, just and
equitable bill for city and county gov
eminent, he said he would give his sup
port, and it would, he thought, go
through, but such an illtirned and i'll
conceived measure as that drawn by
the Home Rulers would not be passed.
The Home Rule bill spoke Of white and
colored men and ne objected to such
distinctions.
There were several other speeches,
some former Home Rulers saying
they had left the party as they We're
disguised with the do nothing policy
of the legislature.

Wilson, j. NJ. Dowsett. Paul Mullen

and Manager Meyer of Waianae. The
guests were met at the station by Mr..
McCandless and j. Lucas. who assisted
in the arrangements, but who refused
to make a speech. The return was
made in the afternoon train.
