FORMER INDEPENDENTS
BECOME REPUBLICANS

Democrats Did Not Succeed Well—
Prince Landed in Kailua in Midst
of Death—Natives Shook
Their Heads.

A prominent Democrat is responsible for the statement that Prince David Kawananakoa has a walk over in his race for Congress so far as the Republicans are concerned and that the Independents are the only people the Democrats are afraid of. A modest Republican remarked that he guessed Samuel Parker had a little show, anyway. Democratic claims are always made before the ballots are counted.

A Kona correspondent writes that Hon. Samuel Parker "and party held a rousing meeting at Naalehu, Kona, on Wednesday evening last. The steamer Was taken at Honuapo and a stop of two hours was made at Hookena in order to allow the speakers a chance to address the natives. The landing at Napoopoo saw the largest gathering of natives in years. The party made a short stop at Keauhou. The speakers were Messrs. Parker, Blacow, Loebenstein, Lenhart, Paris, Holstein, Mon-sarrat, Peterson, George Davis and Kamauoha.

The last place stopped at was Kailua. The correspondent sends the following as the authentic report of registration in the Second District: 1st Precinct, 352; 2d, 231; 3d, 226; 4th, 220; 5th, 220; 6th, 198 and 7th, 90. Total of 1,206.

Prince David was at Kailua on Saturday last. While in the midst of his speech the whistle of the Mauna Loa blew and, finding the steamer would not wait for him, he jumped into a canoe and was paddled out aboard. The work along the Kona coast was most unfavorable but the climax nearly finished the Prince. He arrived in his old stamping grounds—Kailua—just about the time the second person in the Burgess household died from the effects of liquor. Naturally, the natives shook their heads just as they did when Kash- hia and Wilcox met the two funerals in Kona. The Republicans have not run up against anything like this yet.

The Independent campaign bills are out. In the center is the picture of Kalauokalani. To the right and left are the pictures of Kaulia and Wilcox, respectively. At the very top is the American eagle underneath which are the words "Independent," "Constitution of the United States" and Kuokoa. Underneath are the words "Our League for Home Rule".

Henry Martin of Kau, who was at the outset of this campaign a non-partisan and who later sought a nomination on the Republican ticket, is to run on the Democratic ticket, according to a Kona correspondent. J. K. Kekaula, a former Wilcox man, is now a Democrat. He will run on the ticket. Both men have records.

The Portuguese vote is doubtful. Some say they will go Democratic and others that they will go Republican. The Portuguese themselves are non-committal.
