Delegate Euhio was greeted with
applause when he took the platform,
and after speaking a few words in
English he begged leave to make his
address in Hawaiian, as the majority
of those present We're of that race. His
general argument was that the Ha-
waiians could not get anything unless
they fell in line with those in power.

He related the experience of McKin-
ley, who was beset by politicians on
all sides for political favors, and the
wisdom which 1t required of the Presi-
dent to select his advisers. Mckinley
chose Mark Hanna because of his in
fiuence and the work he could accom-
plsh. Governor Carter occupied a sim
liar position in Hawaii. and 1t devolv-
ed upon the young men and members
of the Young Mems Republican Club
to prove their worth and strength. If
this organization could control the
votes, then they would receive recog-
milton and could demand what they
wanted at the hands of the Governor.
He then referred to the claims of the
Democrats that Parker would be elect
ed, but from his view of the national
situation he assured his hearers that
Roosevelt would be the next president.
The Republicans have been in power
for many years, and the Hawaiians
could not expect to receive considera-
ton of a Republican Congress unless
they Joined the party in power. He re-
ferred to the difficulties which con-
fronted him in Washington, the ignor-
ance of national Legislators on Hawai-
ian affairs and conditions. Senator
Mark Hanna was the first man he met
on his arrival at Congress, and he re-
ceived much helpful advice and inspira-
ton from President McKinley's right
hand man. He was told by Senator
Hanna that for the Hawaiians to re-
main in party of their own, to estab-
lish color line and oppose the whites,
meant that they would be classed with
the negroes, whom they were not. He
was able to secure Hawaiian legislation
only after the greatest difficulty, and
soon discovered that Congress needed
education on Hawaiian matters. This
he was doing and was sanguine of sue
cess If reelected and permitted to car
ry on the work he had commenced.
The speaker reverted to the proposed
bill making the Hawaiian language the
official language of the Legislature for
period of ten years. This he explain
ed was intended to keep alive the ma
tive tongue and permit Hawaiian MEM
bers to introduce bills in their own Ian
guage without being compelled to have
the same translated first into English.
The Delegate declared that every
patriotic man must be in politics. A |
man who did not take an interest in
politics was not inspired by a patriotic
love of country. He had advised Rev.
5. l.. Desha to do so, against the lat
ters will, and pointed with pride to the |
splendid work he had accomplished
Other speakers addressed the meet |
ing, including ID. Kalauokalani Jr, who |
two years ago supported the Home Rule
party and visited Hilo with Delegate
Wilcox and his father Senator Kalau-
okalani, making stump speeches over
the Island. When the party became
young Kalauokalani had |
the courage of his convictions, deserted |
his fathers party, and is now staunch
supporter of the Republican cause.
Sheriff Andrews also made a short
speech in Hawaiian.
