IL Is a foregone conclusion that the

Holsteln made the following forcible
speech after his nomination.
Fellow Delegates-You have con-
ferred on me great honor in nominat-
Ing me as one of your candidates for
the Senate. / am proud of being a
Hawaiian born to be an American c.ti-
zen, prouder to be a Republican, and
when you have unanimously selected
me as one of your standard bearers
you cannot realize nor can | express
the gratitude which l feel towards you
for having conferred the honor on me.
| can only say to you in the simplest
phrase, / thank you from the bottom Of
my heart.
The coming Issue is not one of
merely partisan importance. For the
election of good men to the Legislature,
honest Republicans can rightly ask all
independent and public spirited citizens
to unite with them. To put up good
Legislature ii Will be necessary that
every good citizen do his whole po.iti-
cal duty. No man should shrink from
1t. Those who have not yet joined the
Republican club of this district should
attend to that duty. The victory is not
going to be won by the talking of hon
est politics on the street corners, but
by getting out and working for it.
would be pleased, fellow delegates, to
receive message from you on election
day, that the Second District thas join
ed her sisters i'm Overwhelming y Not-
ing the Republican ticket.
The ticket you have framed of both
Senators and Representatives, is bound
to win. They are men endowed with
all the qualifications necessary as leg
islators, the majority having had prac-
teal experience in the legislative halls
in the days gone by. The people will
certainly vote for men who are quail
fled experienced, and who have the
confidence of the business community
of the country rather than for those.
who are running for the office solely up
on the ground of opposing the party
who helped them to get the political
advantages they now enjoy. The pat
form is before US, promulgated by your
representatives in the convention Of the
Gath instant
1T will be my duty to support each
and every plank in that document, and
while we return home to our respective
districts to work for the ticket. let US
not be unmindful of the fact, that the
earnest prayer of all loyal Americans
in Hawaii Is God speed the Republi-
can party, and bless its candidate to
