HOME RULERS
WILL NOT
FUSE
Precinct Clubs Have All
Passed Resolutions
Against 1t.

"They would like to have us fuse, -
!. said Chief Ali Charlie Motley, of the
Home Rule party, son the basis that
they nominate the officers and We vote
for them Not!"
And so there will be no fusion of the
Home Rulers and the Democrats this
year. Ali Motley knows what he is
talking about. Every Home Rule pre-
cinct club in this Territory has met and
passed resolutions opposed to fusion.
And that leaves Palmer Woods and Cur
tis Iaukea, as the two most distinguish
. ed advocates of the fusion policy, in a
corner gasping for breath.
Palmer Woods, indeed, has already
gasped out something about to this eff
feet to his friends and intimates about
town, having presumably had a consul
tation with his extremely clever Editor
before leaving the big island for the
big town:
ats no use. I am not going to run
again this year. [ have my private
business to attend to, and it is time for
somebody else to get in and bear the
heat and burden of the day
GOOD THING FOR PALMER.
Which goes to show what a deuced
good thing it is to have private bust
ness that you cannot afford tosneglect
In season when the political clouds are
particularly lowering, and fusion plans
go all aglee-and, also, to have an
Editor.
AS to Colonel Iaukea-well, he is a
man of much more optimistic tempera-
snent than Senator woods-and maybe
he needs the place more.
Anyway, he is still advocating fusion
and keeping his weather eye trained
on that Supervisorship at Large as
convenient thing to side-step into in
the event that it becomes necessary to
get out of the way of his friend Kuhio.
AS it will
The man who does not get out of the
way of Kuhio this time is going to get
run down. Even the Democrats in the
outer districts are beginning to en-
tlorse the sitting Delegate-and the
Home Rulers would endorse him
iii minute, if they thought
he wanted endorsement. Indeed, this
promises to be a regular campaign of
Kuhio harmony-with the parties all
asking the Delegate to take nominal
4ions. instead of the Delegate seeking
favors, and all the bad haoles who do
not like this thing sitting outside the
fence and making faces.
AN OVERCAST SILENCE.
Even Alex Robertson has relapsed
into mastery inactivity and that
measureless. overcast silence of his
since the rumor got out that he has
heard from Kuhio, too-and not alto
gether satisfactorily, excepting to the
Delegate In fact, Alex. has found out
AS any mainland tyro could have told
him-that a political promise is thing
made to serve every purpose on earth
excepting the single one of getting
itself kept. /
Kuhio is going to stand by his peo-
pie. Bless your heart, of course he is.
His people have asked him to do it,
and he needs the money! What is
pledge to a mere haole, in the light OF
an illumination like thatl
Kuhio will be home before long, too,
and then these fellows will see that not
a one of them has any more chance than
a SNOWFALL would have in the lowest
and hottest depths of the Plutonian
hereafter country.
And STILL and still, they say that
Senator Link MeCandless has made
an alliance, offensive and defensive,
with the wicked Mr. Achi and that the
Brown Wolf of the Lantana is ranging
The wilds of Kaneohe and around there
the scalp of every native voter

RANGING THE BUSH.
