A lengthy platform was adopted
wherein the Republican party was con-
graduated on what it had accomplished
for Hawaii, and the Administrations
was commended for its attitude on ex-
panslon, sound money, the Nicaragua
canal and the Pacific cable. The dele
gate to Congress was urged to push the
of the construction of break
water at Hilo. Local self government
is favored, and the Legislature is urged
to divide the Territory into counties.
For the administration of county ar
fairs the creation of boards of super
visors is advised; hospitals, jails, school
houses should be transferred to these
boards, and a recording office located
in each county seat. Local option is de-
manded, a liberal expenditure of money
on roads, readjustment of the tax sys-
TEN, the regulation of the schools by
school directors in the different dis
tricts, the maintenance of a small and
efficient police.
