The gross Inconsistency of the two per-
formanoes probably did not occur to
one in fifty of the delegates. Nor did
the utter incongruity of permitting a
representative of n country whose an
nexation stands for imperialism to
sit as delegate on the floor OF con-
vention which declared 'anti-imperial-
ism TO be the paramount issue" But.
most Inconsistent of all, the deleFate
from Hawaii was made member of
the committee on resolutions, and II
was his vote that gave the 16 to
plank majority and a place in the
platform. Ii was to the policy of i'm

Daign in Hawaii" Even at that dis
