on Maui is permanently breaking up.

till November 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-
waians than the former.

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
