and the route which will furnish the
best results. 1t is not known who win
accompany the candidate, and in fact
it may be that he will make this trip
without anyone except the local candi-
dates.
HAWAII Is ALL RIGHT.
Advices from Hawaii are that the
progress of the republican campaign is
decidedly satisfactory. Just as it was
on this island, the registration has been
most pleasing to the party workers.
The total registration for the big island
is 2.9S1, of which the first district has
1,5f1, and the second 1,410. This shows
an increase of 264 in the registration for
the First district. The voters of Ko-
hala number 324.
Wilcox has not been making much
progress, according to the letters re-
ceived Saturday, as he went on to
Waimea, where he was to meet Palmer
Woods. The very latest thing in cam
paign stories comes from Kohala. After
the arrival of Wilcox on Wednesday
last story began to be circulated that
Prince Kuhio was under arrest and in
jail here. The charge was said to be
practically lese majestic, for it was ex-
planned that the Prince had been crit
icising Wilcox and saying hard things
about him and his work, and the United
States government protected its repre-
sentatives and delegates in congress
from sucn remarks
Stephen Desha, candidate for senator
from that island. who has been accom-
panying Prince Kuhio about for the
past two weeks, will leave for Hilo to
carry on his own fight in the Claudine,
Tuesday He will, according to the
plans which are being talked of now,
make hard and fast fight for the next
two weeks, and thus viii prevent any
voters from being led away by eleventh
hour remarks or promises of the Home
Rulers. He will tour the island again
and will have with him a company of
the local candidates in each district.
IN his absence Senator Paris is making
a hard fight, and the prospects are that
there will be a complete turning over
of the island before the end of the CAM
raign.
MAUI GAINING GROUND.
More hopeful reports for the Repub-
lican ticket come from the island of
of the Democratic ticket, at the last,
has given new impetus to the Repub-
lican campaign, for, always hopeful
the followers of the cid party now be-
lieve they will be able to snow under
Senator William White John Richard
son, who is making the hardest fight
for the Democrats, is confident that he
may win yet. as he is of opinion that
White is losing supporters among his
own party. 1t is said to be generally
recognized that the nomination Of
White, and the failure to pull him
down for a Democrat when the fusion
was agreed upon, was political blum
der on the part of Wilcox, and Mauites
are now insisting that the members of
the nominating convention were forced
by the Honolulu pressure of Wilcox and
Kalauokalani to put up the former SEN
ator
Col. w. III. Cornwell, who returned
from trip to Maui Saturday, said that
ne had heard nothing but that Dickey
was gaining ground, and that it would
be fight between him and Clark, with
White falling out of the race before its
end He said the whole Democratic
ticket was gaining ground, which
means that there is increased majority
for the entire Republican list in sight.
The condition on Molokai is even bet
ter than at first, for the people at the
settlement have been industriously
reading all that has been said concern
ing the leper question and the result is
that there might be danger for a Home
Ruler appearing there and advocating
the placing of the settlement under
control of the United States Letters
