The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-09-20
THE DOMINANT PARTY,

The interests of these Islands are
centcred in the Republican party. The
future administration will be Republic
an and the majority in Congress will
be Republican. 1t must be plain to
any one who has the slightest political
sagacity that if we are to be heard
with influence in the councils of the
nation we should be represented by a
Republican in the House of Representa-
tives. Republicans will help republic
ans, and they are not likely to look
kindly upon democrats. AS to the So
called independent candidate if he were
elected as delegate, what earthly good
would he be. He would be merely nom
entity to whom no one listen and for
whom party leaders would do absolute
ly nothing.
If this IS true of the delegate to Con-
gress, it is equally true of the Senate
and House of Representatives here.
With a republican majority in those
chambers we may hope for many things
from the administration. With an anti
administration majority we need look
for nothing. We must carefully remem-
Der that it is to Washington that we
must look. Washington can improve
our harbors, build us light houses, as
sumo our loan and put money into cir
culation IN many ways.
The attitude of the Independent
party is distinctly antagonistic to
Washington. If as is claimed the In
dependent psrty sweeps the board,
then good-by to any assistance which
we may have hoped for from Washing
ton. This makes it incumbent upon all
those who desire the advancement of
the Island territory to- sink differences
which might be important on the main
land ana get into line against the In
dependent party. The Independent
party is the party of retrogression and
wastefulness. In their list of candi-
dates for The Legislature there is not
single man of prominence or of weight
in the respective districts. No terri
tory, at the outset of it's career, can
afford to have itself so misrepresented.
There must then be amalgamation or
fusion to defeat this Misrepresentation
and the wisest fusion will be under the
republican flag.
There is grave necessity for thought
in the present crisis. We are not play
ing at politics, we are making or mar
ring ourselves for some years to come.
Upon what is the outcome of the ap-
preaching election will depend many
matters which will be of material bene-
fit to the Territory and therefore to it's
individual inhabitants. If we throw
away those chances, we shall have only
ourselves 70 blame, we need expect no
sympathy from any one. We are long
past the Stage of being molly coddled,
which we have been accustomed to.
We stand on our feet and have to work
out our own salvation.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-09-20

Yesterday would have been a pretty
lively day in Hawaii if the Republic
had continued. The election of a Pre-
sident for the ensuing six years at a
salary of $4,000 a year, would have
been a prize that would have been
eagerly sought Who would have been
president? probably S. M. Damon would
have been the strongest candidate.
However that is all spilled milk now.
