it is foregone conclusion that the

speech after his nomination.:
Fellow Delegates-You have con-
, ferred on me a great honor in nominal
ing me as one of your candidates for
the Senate. 1 am proud of being a
Hawaiian born to be an American citi-
zen, prOuder to be a Republican,, and
when you have unanimously selected
| me as one of your standard bearers,
| you cannot realize nor can l express
| the gratitude which l feel towards you
| for having conferred the honor on me
/ can only say to you in the simplest
phrase, l 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 al
independent and public spirited citizens
to unite with them. To put up good
1 Legislature it viii be necessary that
every good citizen do his whole politi-
cal duty. No man should shrink from
it. 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, *
receive message from you on election
day, that the Second District has join
ed her sisters in overwhelmingly yot
ing the Republican ticket
The ticket you have framed of botf
lSenatofs and Representatives is bound
to win. They are men endowed will
all the qualifications necessary as leg
iislators, the majority having had prac
teal experience in the legislative halls
in the days gone by. The people will
lcertainly vote for men who are quail
fed. experienced, and who have tn
confidence of the business communit,
of the country, rather than for thos
iwho are running for the office solely up
on the ground of opposing the part.
lwho helped them to get the politica
advantages they now enjoy. The plat
form is before us, promulgated by you
Representatives in the convention of tn
oath instant.
1T will be my duty to support eacl
and every plank in that document, an
while we return home to our RESPECTIVE
districts to work for the ticket, let u
not be unmindful of the fact, that tn
earnest prayer of all loyal American
in Hawaii is God speed the Republi
can party, and bless it's candidate t
Congress-
