on the Honorable William c. Achi, or
is it falling on him? Achi's Labor
Party, dubbed by those who are in the
know as the "labor-for-Ach party is
said to be expected by its founder to
succeed the Home Rule party in island
politics The willy Achi, foreseeing the
dissolution of Home Rule, threw him
self into the breach, So to speak, and
decided to found a new party to take
its place.
This will be the last election in
which the Home Rule party will figure
as a factor worthy of consideration"
said a prominent politician. 1T is
falling to pieces and the long-headed
Achi started a new party with the
hope of gathering in it's members"
Those who supposed Achi to be dead
have found out that there was some
thing wrong with the deafness. He
has come to life in earnest and there
is going to be a good deal doing before
there is a settlement of his chances of
being Republican nominee for Super
visor-at-large. The new party has is
sued a platform, in Hawaiian of which
the following is a translation: besides
some attacks on the police and Brown:
A VOICE OF LOVE TO THE LABOR
Err AND TO THE VOTER.
AS the time for the election of gov
ornamental officers is drawing nigh, we
are of the opinion that this is a fitting
time to show to the laborer and to the
voter, the thing to do in order that
they may be benefited.
Previous to this time in other coun-
tries and in Hawaii, it has been shown
in affairs relating to the government,
in the judiciary, and in other branches
of the government that the welfare of
the rich is looked after and the inter-
ests Of the poor dsregarded.
1t recalls to mind those famous
words of Mohammed God will not
help those who do not help themselves"
SO will it happen to the laborer for
he will not get anything from the coun-
fellows.
We have seen in the carrying on of
the County government, that when
finances are low, it is the laborers that
are laid off and receive no pay, while
the government officials and policemen
still draw their salary.
In order that the laborers may re-
ceive some benefit from governmental
work, they must follow the one way
in which they can be benefited; and
that is, for them to enter heartily into
politics; and to accomplish this purpose
they must gain control of the officers
of the various Republican clubs, and
then nominate their own delegates to
the nominating conventions, who in
their turn will nominate Representa-
tives and Senators will look after their
interests
POLICE ARE ENERGETIC.
At present, the policemen are emerge
tic in their efforts to elect officers for
the precinct clubs, who will stand for
A. NJ. Brown, their idea being that they
may, along with Brown, retain their
positions, and at the expiration of the
month draw their salaries while you
laborers receive nothing of it. The
policemen and the supporters Of Brown
are not looking for the welfare of the
/ labOrers, and as that is the case, la
| borers of this county, it would not be
/ worth your while to support them at
| the ballot-boX. The only thing then
for you to do is to support the nominees
of the Labor Party, because your in
terests are idential.
| Turn then and follow the example of
unity set by the workingmen of Eng
| land at the last election. when thirty
| two of their candidates were elected
! to the House of Commons and, is one
of their candidates, John Burns, being
made Speaker of the House of Com
mons. The same case has been true
of San Francisco for the past five years
/ The workingmen in standing together
and working for their mutual interests
have succeeded in electing E. Schmitz
