call to the citizens of Hawaii:
From the earliest days of the Republic
to the present time the Democratic party
has persistently resisted the tendency OF
selfish interest to the Capitalization OF
governmental power. For more than
century this party OF the people has ad-
yocated with unwavering consistency the
great and Fundamental principles upon
which our government rests-freedom of
the press, freedom of conscience, preser-
walton of personal rights, the equality OF
all citizens before the law, and the faith
ful observance of constitutional limita-
tons. Arising from the practical inter-

and the enterprises created by wealth,

and demands touching the life, welfare
and happiness OF all other classes Will. of
necessity, find beneficial solution by nat
urh law or by some process OF self-ad-
justment. That which is taken for grant
