Political Club:
club who will not dare venture to
hold meetings with open doors to the
public at large like all other political
Clubs do, and one whom win keep out
Of their Hall all newspaper reporters
who are trying to seek knowledge of
their doings. and promise to cheat them
out of all knoledge regarding their
movements. shows dishonest work and
in other words a case of conspiracy;
and the word of conspiracy may be
used in this case. According to steps
taken on the evening of Sept. 18th 1902
and same published in the P. C. Ad-
vertiser first where about fifteen or
more non-members of said club were
invited through the day to be present
that evening only to receive the insult
presented to them by said club by turn
ing them out of their doors.
If they were not wanted there why
were they invited there only to receive
an insult to cause more disharmony.
Second. one of the supposed gentlemen
of said club derided Mr.. Andrade and
said Andrade was man who had be-
trayed their secrets to the enemy. If
this supposed gentleman considers our
respected Republican party an enemy
to himself or to their club will say
it is time for that supposed gentleman
and club to come right out with their
true coiors and title and get to work
on the field and help Wilcox's combined
Home-Ruler and Democrat party and
the sooner the better, and not be hiding
back of the screen any longer and try
ing to deceive the public as to what
they are The chairman of that club
well knows that he has declared not
only one or two times but about a half
dozen times before said club, that he
was a Democrat at heart, and this 1
am sure he will not deny although he
was ready to resign from the Democrat
club In order that he could attend to
the club to which he now belongs. And
after a several meetings had taken
place he was asked by good number
of members to either declare the club
one thing or the other, and he made a
pledge as follows: '1 pledge myself to
up hold the Republican party, their
platform and principles" but he either
forgot or did not wish to say II fur
ther declare myself as a good and true
Republican" This was left out which
still kept the club under suspechions
that the words used in his pledge had
only slipped from his mouth to deceive
us and were not true from his heart.
Now the old saying is that stitch in
time saves nine or that all imitation
goods are considered cheap goods and
arc not worth the loss Of time in pur-
chasing them.
I will now refur back to that suppos-
ed gentleman and politician who was
cause of the split which took place in
said club few weeks ago by taking
advantage of his brightness, smartness,
and good looks by trying to introduce
little story the same being dirty at
tack upon the good missionaries of this
country in the elder days and admit
ting at the same time that this story
was sample piece of work taken from
his great studies. The attack was ac-
cusing the missionaries of robbing the
poor natives of their Kuliana's in ex-
change for shiploads of bibles and Cos
pei. He had no longer read about two
or three lines of this story when dis
harmony was aroused in the Hall and
few members of the club stood on
their feet and begged Mr.. Camara as
chairman of the club to call that man
down, for he is out of order. He said:
we are here tonight for one purpose
and that is to discuse in politics and not
to discriminate against religion of any
