HOME RULE PARTY OPPOSED TO
MAINLAND REPUBLICANS.

LIHUE, September 26.-The Home
Rulers held meeting here last Satur-
day evening. Kalauokalani made the
opening address and Kumalae spoke
for over an hour
Il understand" said Kumalae. that
the Republicans and Democrats have
made statements that there is no such
thing as Home Ruleism i'm the United
states, l take this opportunity to con-
tradict their statement" Producing "a
book, he continued This Is a political
register published by the Chicago Daily
News ana IL states that there are thir-
teen political parties i'm the United
States. ] will now read their platforms
of 1900, and you will see that both par
ties We're in favor of Home Rule Now
if we are to send Republican Dele
gate to Congress, the Democrats will
oppose him iu Congress, and vice YER
sa. But, if we will send a Home Rule
Delegate to Congress he can do more
for us than the Republican on the Dem
ocratic Delegate because both of these
parties favor Home Rule. l VIII also
state that i'm IyU- there were only two
candidates for President of the United
States. The Republican and the Home
Rule candidates. l assure you fellow
citizens, that the Home Rulers are go
ing to carry this election, because
there are three parties in the field. We
are going win like we did i'm 1900.
The reason why we lost i'm 1902 is sim
ply this. l was then a Republican at
the time and was member of the Cen
trail Committee. The Democrats came
over to the Republicans and asked,
How can we defeat r. w. Wilcox
The only way said the Republicans is
for you not to put any men in the
field. If you have any candidate for
senator or representative, let him run
on our ticket, and if we work together
we will surely defeat the Home Rule
candidate. In 1900 Paul Isenberg and
sam Wilcox ran on the Democratic
ticket and both We're defeated. In 1902
they ran on the Republican ticket ana
got elected. Mr. Isenberg pretended to
be a good friend to the Hawaiian, but
he introduced "a bill in the Legislature,
which, if passed, would stop all the
Hawaiians from fishing, and they
would be compelled to buy beef and
enable Mr.. Isenberg to sell some of his
old stock of cattle. The majority of
you are working under Republican
bosses, but 1 give you this pointer.
Should they ask you to what political
party do you belong, tell them that you
are a Republican, but when the day
come to cast your ballot vote the
Home Rule ticket. And the same to
the Democratic voters"
. (rbar1ag Npt1av toply tho stand md af
ter greeting the citizens, said: AT the
convention held in Honolulu, there
were III delegates present and l was
unanimously nominated candidate for
Delegate to Washington. In picking a
men to represent Hawaii at Congress
you want a well educated man. For in
stance if it was wanted to build a
breakwater for Koloa landing the dele
gate must know how to figure so that
he will know how much appropriation
is needed The Home Rule party is in
favor of getting an appropriation from
Congress to build "a university in Ha-
wall nei, so that our children can get q
higher education, without leaving the
islands.
I'VE are i'm favor of getting am app
preparation for the election of Fed
eral building in Honolulu for use of the
Federal Government. We win again
present a bill in Congress assigning
the care of the lepers to the Federal
. Government. When Mr.. Wilcox pre-
scented this bill in Congress the Repub-
licans of the Territory of Hawaii blam-
ed hmm. But today they are i'm favor of
il. At first the Republicans thought by
handing over the leper settlement t.
/ the United States to look after, il
meant that Molokai would be turned
into dumping ground for lepers from
the coast. This is not So Mr. Wilcox's
bill was to let the United States take
care of the leper settlement so that
good hospitals and laboratories be
erected, and better care can be given
to the patients, and not to make it a
dumping ground for lepers of the coast
Up to date the Territory Of Hawaii has
spent $S,000,000 for the curing of lepro-
sy. but not a single soul that landed Mt
Kalaupapa or Kalawao has even been
cured. 1t costs the government $15,-
600 a month to maintain the leper set
Element but all this money is not hon
estly spent Rotten clothing and food
are sent to MOlokai for these lepers. If
the United States had charge of the
leper settlement they will take better
D care of the lepers than the territory.
zone thing Delegate Kuhio has done
detrimental to us is the introduction
of a bill in Congress that the Hawaiian
and English languages shall be the Of
fetal languages of the Territory for
ten years, and at the expiration Of ten
years the English language shall be the
only official language of this Territory
This would hinder a great many capa-
BILE Hawaiians from holding govern
ment position"
