Honolulu, May 31-The constitutional
convention WAS organized today. The
executive council has for some month 5
been busy preparing draft OF the con
stitutioa that is TO be submitted 10 the
convention. There will be no attempt 10
force il on the convention.
President Dole in his address before the
convention outlined very fully the work
il has to do and stated clearly the reasons
which had impelled a change Of plans by
annexation to the United States, 10 the
creation of an independent republic. he
gave utterauce also this significant ex-
preston:
although the establishment of fun
damental law which shall as soon as
possible provide for the safe and perma-
nsnt administration Of affairs upon the
principles of republican form Of govern.
ment will be the paramount object OF
your deliberations the original purpose
of the provisional government to ne2oti-
ate a treaty of political union with the
great and friendly nation to our East,
should be rs fully recognized By you as
vital policy of the new republic as it has
been BY the provisional government"
Copies OF the proposed new constitution
are now obtainabie and several have been
forwarded to San Francisco. The consti::
tuition is an exact model OF
the United States constitution. and
many of its provisions are taken bodily
from some of the state constitutions. Its
salient features ale the great powers In
vested in the executive, the limitations on
the elective franchise, and the various pro-
visions designed to place permanent con.
troll OF the future republic in the hands Of
its present guardians and their successors,
who shall carry out their policy.
From present indications tue duration
of the constitutional convention will be
but few weeks.
Decoration day was celebrated yester.
day. All the government troops turned
out and accompanied by Admiral Walker
and his staff with = large detachment OF
sailors and marines from the Philadelphia
marched to the cemetery.
