Wailuku Meeting
At the request of Princess Kalani-
anaole the Hawaiian women OF the
fifth precinct of the third representa-
tive district met in the Town hall,
Wailuku on Wednesday evening to or
ganize an auxiliary to the Repuollcan
League of Women Voters.
The Princess was introduced by
Miss Rebecca Akana and in brief
speech outlined the object of the meet
ing and told why auXiliaries are be-
ing organized in all the precincts in
the territory. She said in part that
the late Prince had been insistent that
every effort should be put forth to
educate the women in their right OF
franchise and to induce them to eX-
ercise their right intelligently; that
the Hawaiian women would more Tree
ly exchange views among each other
than they would in a gathering OF Eng
lish speaking women and that mus
they would be gradually led out oil
their timidity and take their place
easily and actively in the ranks with
the rest of the women voters.
The Princess encountered opposl-
tion and she said there is much
opposition throughout the Islands
against such an organization, many
of the men being loud spoken
in their opposition; many women op-
posing it for various reasons; that the
late Prince had foreseen and answer
ed all these objections that she is
simply trying to carry out his wish to
render every possible service to the
people whom he loved, to encourage
them to love their homes, educate
their children, to lead honorable use
ful lives and to take an active part
in the welfare of their respective COM
munities.
Explanations Satisfy
The Princess forestalled many of
the questions which the women had
come prepared to ask, and for few
minutes after she had finished there
was silence, then came few scatter
ing questions, after which the discus
sion was lively as to whether they
should organize, some of the younger
women opposing most of the older wo
men favoring the movement; those op
posed saying there are number ol
clubs among the women already, 9th
ers expressing a desire in favor of or
ganiZation in view of the reasons
voiced bY the Princess.
Proposal Endorsed
After hearing the arguments the en-
dorsement was surprisingly greater
than had been expected and vote
on the part of the women present re
suited in favor of organization. WIN
