Hawaii: Pursuant to the call OF the
Central Executive Committee we meet
here today in the name of the American
Union Party, party which stands con

eminent and for the good of all the
people, but above ALL in fact the very
foundation, the solid rock on which we
cling together as one man, is the pottti-
cal union of these islands to the United
States of America.
"The most OF us here will remember
the 14th to nth days of January, 1893,
when we at the risk of our lives pledged
ourselves to the cause of annexation.
Gentlemen, we have stood to our
guns nobly since that memorable day,
through good and bad reports, and now
that the clouds of dust arising from the
enemies of annexation have been swept
away, we come up here this afternoon
to renew our obligation, pledge our
selves anew, and right here and now
devote our time, talents and money,
individually and as great political
body, to the cause of annexation, de-
claring that we will not give up until
we get there. Gentlemen, as chairman
of the Central Executive Committee of
the American Union Party, / now call
this Convention to order"
