MAUI, Nov 5.-Politics during the
past week on Maui has been compare
lively quiet The most important event
to Republicans was the desertion of the
Home Rule party by Charles Kanae-
holo and Solomon Kawaihoa, prominent
Home Rule leaders of Waikiki.
Kanaeholo was the president of the
Home Rule Wailuku precinct club and
Kawaihoa has been nominated for the
legislature by Home Rulers.
1t seems as if the Home Rule party
ON Maui is permanently breaking up.
1t is also stated that both S. E. Kaiue
and F. w. Beckley are waiting only
till November 8 is past to declare them
selves Republicans.
In joining the Republican party, Ka-
naeholo and Kawaihoa stated that there
was no longer any hope of the Home
Rule party accomplishing anything. The
purpose that caused its formation, the
restoration of the Queen, was irretriev-
ably dead. The only live parties were
the Democrat and Republican. They
chose the latter because it was in power
and could and would do more for Ha
waiians than the former.
These two Waikiki leaders have been
making a tour of East Maui during the
week preaching Republican doctrine to
the natives, beginning on Tuesday night
at Keokea, Kula and departing on We'd
nesday for Kaupo. They are expected in
Waikiki tonight.
Last night all the Republican candi-
dates for senators and representatives
excepting Geo. Copp took the steamer
Kinau at Maalaea Bay intending to meet
a special steamer from Honolulu and
take passage in it for the Molokai Settle
ment and there do some campaigning.
CITIZEN LABOR ABUNDANT.
The work on the new government
road at Muuolea between Kipahulu and
Hama is being pushed forward rapidly.
by the use of citizen labor of which
an abundance can be obtained in the
vicinity
More than 100 men have been regularly
employed until this week by J. w.
Springston who has CHARGE of the prof.
ect for contractor L. M. Whitehouse
AS the road is nearing completion Git
will be finished i'll five or six weeks)
Mr.. Springston has recently discharged
about half MS force. He much prefers
citizen TO japanese labor, thinking the
former more economical.
OFF FOR THE WAR.
Saturday, October 2oth, was an ex-
citing day for Maui Japanese, about one
hundred of them leaving fol. the war in
the East. At Wailuku the reservists
from that town were conveyed to the
railroad depot by long line of hacks.
Thirty sailed away from the landing at
Lahaina and fifteen or twenty departed
from Paia, Hanakuapoko and Kula.
From the camp at Paia plantation
several hundred people, men. women and
children, marched a mile or so to the
railroad station escorting the soldiers
bound for the war. A bugler and a
drummer headed the procession followed
by fifty cavalry and fifty infantry, all
in uniform of blue and brown-the form
er armed with tin swords and the latter
with wooden guns. Nearly every one
carried a white and red flag. Behind
the men in uniform came several hun
