At a general meeting of Democrat:
which Colonel {. ]. Mccarthy presided
every speaker on the floor endorsed II
| the highest terms Prince Cupid for Del
egate to Congress. All admitted that
| no nominee of their own would stand a
ghost of a show in being elected. and
ir Cupid they see where they can make
their votes count for something. The
hope was expressed that Prince Cupid
would stand upon an entirely indepenc-
ent platform, free of local issues, and
they felt certain that he would not
only be endorsed and voted for by the
Independent or progressive Hawaiians'
party but by the Democratic party,
and there was a glimmering chance
that the Republicans would stand be-
hind the young alii.
Colonel Cornwell, the Democratic Ma
tionai committeeman for Hawaii, spoke
first of the opportunity which the DEM
ocratic party had TO stand behind
Prince Cupid and he felt that the party
could not make a wiser move than to
place the name OF Cupid at the head
of their ticket.
AS for Wilcox, the Democrats gener-
ally conceded that the nomination of
Cupid meant the political death of VII
nd rio nj
a progressive Hawaiian spirit in place
of the old Bourbon methods practiced
by the original Home Rule party.
A committee of fifteen Democrats
will be appointed this morning by Colo
mel Mccarthy to effect a preliminary
of the Democratic party In
Hawaii and their report is to be pre-
sented at a meeting to be held next
Monday evening. The committee will
also probably suggest who shall be the
nominee of the party for Congress. On
this committee Colonel Mccarthy will
b.. the ex-oficio chairman, and Edmund
Hart, ex-officio secretary
Another committee, consisting of
Colonel Cornwell, Colonel Mccarthy
and one Hawaiian, viii be in readiness
to wait upon Senator Blackburn when
he arrives with the Senatorial party
and ascertain his desires as to obtain
ing general information as TO condi-
tions in Hawaii. and also as to the
Democratic party here
Fred Terriil said that Cupid was
bound to be the leader Of his race, and
Wilcox was a dying figure in politics.
Charles Creighton considered Cupid the
most available man the Democrats had.
With his social attainments and gen.
tiemanly manner he was sure to obtain
rrerf, hn ha1 40
vote in Congress. II he stands firm in
his position with the young Hawaiians
and takes kindly to a combination with |
the Democrats, it meant the defeat of
wilcox Kaulia's SNAKE would be /
killed when wilcox failed to get elected. |
Colonel Mccarthy endorsed the same
At Washington Hawaii t
had obtained nothing through Wilcox
He was there presumably to represent !
Hawaii, but he represented only him
self. He had no ability. Cupid was an
ggI essive young man and had intelli-
yence. He is a man who has the well
fare of his country at heart. He is not
a self-seeker. AS for the Legislature,
the best men must be voted for b. the
Democrats. Colonel Mccarthy then
suggested the appointment of com
nfttee OF fifteen to effect a preliminary
organization of the party.
Colonel Cornwell stated that II Cupid |
AN for Congress il would be on an
platform. He knew this.
He did not believe Cupid expected a
from the Democrats or Re
3ublicans. Terrill raised laugh when
le said that Wilcox stood only for $500
month and mileage
When the question of receiving the
Senatorial committee came up, Colonel
-ornwelI stated he had had a letter
rom Senator Blackburn respecting the
party in Hawaii and what
{ should do, and he did not believe
hat Wilcox had ever received a writ
en- communication from him as he had
tated. although he may have conversed
With him. The letter pointed out that
between s. NJ Damon,
oIonel Mccarthy, Colonel Cornwell and
,thers must be carried on. and hel
hought it was the ultimate destiny of J
he Home Rule party to unite with the
Democrats. Ts wilcox was defeated.
,ornweu felt certain that the Home
couire here the delightful popularity
hey left behind.
