HOME RULERS NOMINATE
MOTLEY FOR DELEGATE
Announce That There Will Be No Fusion With
the Democrats, Who Must Make
Their Fight All Alone.

BY a curious coincidence, yesterday,
the day set for the convention of the
Home Rule party was the seventeenth
anniversary of the Wilcox uprising.
1t was a busy, bustling session with
the accomplishments of singing, dane
ing and the inevitable luau. All the
old stalwarts from the beaches and
backwoods from Kohala to Kakaako
were there and the majority of them
had their speeches with them. Many
of them succeeded in unloading their
little talks in the hall but for the
benefit of those whom press of time
would not allow to be heard, an over
flow meeting was held in Aala Park
they Grated and GRATED.
One lesson the convention taught and
that is that the party is hanging to-
gether and outlining a campaign which
cessors.
There will be no fusion. The demo-
Gratis will have to hoe their own row.
This is final Out of over a hundred
delegates present at yesterdays con-
vention the fusionists were about in the

Rulers will go it alone.

bound to create interest, if nothing

Senator Foraker OF Ohio, aided by
Senator Scott OF West Virginia. is
making a great fight for justice for
the colored soldiers who were dis.
charged from the army recently. In
answer TO special message which
the president sent relating to the
troops. Senator Foraker stated that
the president had misconceived his
constitutional power rs well as the
evidence upon which ha acted so hast
lily in dismissing the colorcd battalion.
The president stated in his message
that there were scores OF eyewit-
nesses TO the shooting, Senator For.
aker showed. according to the presi.
dents oficial report. that there were
hut eight persons who claimed to be
eyewitnesses TO the shooting; that all
Of these persons were white citizens
OF Brownsville and gave their testi.
mony not under oath. The president
declares that all Of the troops which
he dismissed are murderers; that
none is innocent. II this is true, de.
clared Senator Foraker. every man In
the battalion deserves to be hung; II
they are innocent, as they are until
proven guilty. and their guilt has not
been proved, then cline has been
committed against them. II the pres.
