~ announced in the meeting held
few weeks ago. II they want TO be
true to their color why not nominate
a Republican instead Of selecting the
Democratic regular nominee-namely
Link McCandIess, whom they opposed
in the past campaigns?
@The business men have taught Us
to be loyal to the party and its men,
and vet when they found that they
could not control the present Delegate
To Congress, they arose n unity and

Revives Mohonk Story.
During his speech before his audi
ence yesterday Motley said that at q
convention held some time ago in Mo-
honk, where wise and intelligent men
Of the United States discussed matters
or great importance, the great major
ity of that convention wished TO dis
franchise the Hawaiians. Motley add
et. that IT was through the work and
ingenuity. of Mr. w. r. Castle, who
was present. that the convention was
able TO take csie for themselves poll
ideally. He praised Mr.. Castle for his
good work in the convention and as
sured his hearers that there are few
men like Castle who are willing to DO
justice to the HaWaiians.
Motley then proceeds to talk about
his political strength as compared
With KuhfO and Link McCandless. He
told the Home Rulers that If they
only cast as many votes for him as
they did for David Kalauokalani
Sr.; he would have been elected
AT the last election.
Kalauokalani arose to announce
that he was prepared to resign the
vice presidency Of. the Home Rule
party in order to have more time In
writing for the Kuokoa Home Ruia,
the political organ o., the party. He
said that is was about time for the
younger people to take up the dutief
of the Office of the vice president,
while he would devote his entire time
to the editing of the newspaper The
matter, however, was deferred for
further consideration by the executive
committee OF the Home Rule party.
With the exception of several mem
bers who have. died during the year,
the old officers of the executive COM
mittee were continued. After gene
Ial discussion for the betterment OF
the party, the convention adjourned
with the singing Of Hawaii Ponoi. the
Hawaiian national anthem, and preyer

The Home Rulers at their conven-

Not very long ago prisoner work

Using. He was taken to the county
hospital and cared for, but the next
day Mr.. Asch brought him from the

taken back to the county hospital and
stayed there until he ran away.
