IF California, and especially San
Francisco, is to attain the full pros
perity which naturally belongs to her
she must participate more largely in
the great foreign commerce of the Pa
cific ocean. This can best be main
tanned through American ships AMI
regular lines of communication. The
Republican platform is the only one in
the present campaign which pledges
its party to the support, through Gov
ernment protection, of American ship
ping. and it is only through Congress
sional action that the merchants of
San Francisco can hope to overcome
the competing influence of British,
Canadian and japanese subsidized
lines of steamers.
California greatly needs the inn
provement of its harbors and arma-
ment for the defense of its coasts. The
experience of the past has demon
strated that it may most surely rely
upon Republican Congress to supply
these great and pressing needs.
"The annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands is matter in which the peo-
pie of this States feel deep interest.
During the last Republican adminis-
tration "a treaty to bring this about
was made, but its ratification was de-
feated by the Democrats. | have no
doubt the Inauguration of Major Nc
Kinley as President will be early fol-
lowed by the consummation of that
greatly desired measure.
These are some of the reasons in
addition to those urged upon the vot-
ers of other States why California
should cast its electoral vote for Nc
Kinley and Hobart. | would like to
see California on the right side of the
fence in this fight, so that when these
matters of legislation are undertaken
in her behalf it cannot be urged that
she did not contribute to the general
result in the national election"

A NNNLEY FORECAST OAHU SUGAR COMPANY
PAUL ISENBERG, SIR, RETURNS
FROM HIS IMPORTANT TRIP.
Met With Encouragement in Germany
About Ready to Close the Bargain
Only Details Yet to Arrange.

81 cannot say that my efforts to in
terest German capital in Hawaiian
sugar plantations are finally success
full as yet. However l have every rea-
son to believe that the Oahu Sugar
plantation is quite certain"
This was spoken by Mr.. Paul Iseu-
berg, ST., who returned to Honolulu
this morning direct from Germany.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Isenberg
and daughters.
Mr.. Isenberg, as is quite generally
known, has been in Germany for some
little time on "a mission which greatly
interests this country. The success of
his undertaking means the establish
ment of the largest sugar plantation
in the islands, to be located on Oahu.
The corporation is to be known as
the Oahu sugar company. The plan
tation will be in the vicinity of the
Eva plantation and is to be 10000
ton plant. Mr.. b. f. Dillingham;, the
protector of the scheme, after receiv-
ing considerable local encouragement,
made certain propositions TO interest
German capitalists in the enterprise
through Mr. Isenberg. Mr.. Isenberg
departed for Germany on his errand
a few months ago. He left Germany
on his return trip October 13 AMI
reached here today. He will report
I, l..
tcrested in the project at this end and
in all likelihood will close up all final
arrangements within the next fort
night.
The effort to interest German capt.
talists in the Oahu plantation was
big undertaking on the part of Mr..
Isenberg, not merely because OF the
immense amount a. 1I. of money to be Sc
rapidly pushing to the front her sugar
beet industry. II is said that Mr..
Isenberg went after 81 2.000.000 and
that he has as good as got it, there be-
ing but few minor details to ar
range
The success of the Eva plantation
assisted Mr.. Isenberg very materially
in presenting his plans to German
parties. The proposed Oahu plantation
is located in the vicinity of the Eva
plantation and with the same soil to
work on the success of this latest en-
terprise is a foregone conclusion.
THE sugar beet is booming in Ger
many" said Mr.. Isenberg. "A great
amount of capital is being invested n
this direction. Despite this fact, ]
| found men who We're willing to exam
inc into outside sugar enterprises and
they were considerably impressed
with the remarkable success of the
sugar industry in Hawaii The Oahu
plantation enterprise is not certain rs
yet hut I expect to have good news n
the near future
Mr.. Isenberg says that he and his
family had an enjoyable trip this time
with no incidents of Importance. Some
rough weather was experienced on the,
Peru. Mr.. Iscnberg is undecided just
how long he VIII remain in Honolulu
