The San Francisco Argonaut says:
with the war upon us, we do not see
why the opponents of annexation

but since we have entered
on a war of conquest, it is folly to OPP
pose the annexation of Hawaii. We
believe now in taking it fOrcibly, If
need be. and we hope President Nc
Kinley will do so if the Senate proves
obstinate. We are about to occupy the
philippines. Hawaii is indispensable
as a station on the way there. For
intelligent American citizens to oppose
Hawaiian annexation when we are
Selling the Philippines, would indeed
be straining at a gnat and swallow
ing a camel"
