THE TRIP OVER
ON THE K|NAU
Especial to the Advertiser.)

ganiZed on board the flagship Kinau-
the Republican convention boat-while
en- route last night from Maalaea Bay
to MAIZENA,, Maui. and the newest poll
tical organization promised for a time
to disrupt the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties.
Whatever harm may have been done
the Democratic party was begun by
C. p Iaukea, the Democratic nominee
for Congress, who made a great mis-
take in sending a package of Judge
Parker buttons on the Kinau con-
signed to Senator Palmer Woods of
Mahukona. The buttons never reach
ed Mahukona shore. for al the time
they We're adorning the lapels, pro
tenn, of the Republican delegates
CHEWING GUM PARTY.
The delegates on board the Kinau
had plenty of amusement with fun
makers like Frank Thompson. After
leaving Honolulu and passing Koko
Head slight indispostion laid about
half the passengers low, but long be-
fore arriving at Lahaina, most every
one had regained his or her spirits
A joke was played on Mr.. Pheuger
of Hollister & Co In some way the
contents of package entrusted to him
by Iaukea We're known to be small
packages of gum. each adorned with
a Judge Parker button. These were
intended for distribution on Hawaii
by Woods. The buttons We're passed
among the Republican delegates and
in a short time every man aboard the
steamer appeared to be Democrat.
Mr.. Pneuger was astounded when
he discovered the loss of the buttons.
In the evening Frank Thompson and
w. 7. Rawlins conceived the idea of
making use of the Parker buttons by
Issuing a call for a Democratic con-
vention. This was held on the star
board deck, with every passenger,
Skinner tourists for the Volcano. also
present. Thompson appointed him-
self temporary chairman, and called
the meeting to order with the Stew
ards gong. The chair announced that
1t was a great privilege to call an
Esopus convention to order and hoped
that the result would assist in keep
ing the Democratic candidate always
at Esopus.
He called for the election of n per-
manent chairman and shouts were set
up for Admiral Beckley, the always
popular purser of the kinau. Beck
ley was declared elected and he was
accordingly escorted to the chair by
Col. Sam. Parker and A. G. M. Ro-
bertson. With his usual forensic
ability the Admiral thanked the con-
ha
him, and then narrowly escaped being
pitched overheard because he an
nounced his intention of supporting
Prince kuhio for delegate to Congress.
The Admiral then resigned the chair
TO Prince kuhio. Rafting speeches,
decidedly humorous, We're made by
Col Sam Parker, r. McCants Stewart
A. q. NJ. Robertson and w. II. Raw
lins. The latter gave an imitation of
Jack" Lucas making "a speech in Ha-
waiian at Waikamilo Camp which
drew thunders of applause. w. j.
Coelho, who had just joined the steam
er at Maalaea Bay, Maui, was called
upon for song, and gave much
pleasure to the passengers by singing
several Hawaiian songs.
Frank r.. Thompson then presented
the following platform of the "Chew-
ing Gum Party" which was read and
adopted as follows:
THE NEW PLATFORM.
We deem it an eternal cinch, that
the wheel of justice has turned |
around for enough to give US a chance
At the offices and spells dear to the
leart of every dyed in the wool Demo-
rat. We maintain that when in the |
curse of party politics it becomes |
'vident that the "ins" should be |
outs and the outs" "in," that we,
Who have chased the erratic orbit of a |
'apricious electorate for thirty years
With only two chances at the fresh
'ir fund, stand to make a winning.
Ne deeply deprecate the arid dryness
