CARRIERS HORSE SENSE.
George r. Carter. after making brief
introduction in Hawaiian. delivered the
greater part Of his speech in English He
said in part:
You all know that the individual who
SITS still and does nothing for himself does
not succeed. II he does not get out and
cultivate his taro, his rice and his cane,
he staryes. The nation which falls back
90 rtainly does not progress. We must
pro gress from the condition of the Terri-
terry to that of the State The independ-
ent party orators have used the argument
that the native must not join either the
Republican or Democratic parties-that if
they hold back and do as was done in
Cuha, they would be made a State sooner
/ than in any other way. In the United
States very few people know what these
Islands really are The concensus of opin-
To-: Is that their population Is composed
of an ignorant set of people who do not
understand how to govern themselves or
the principles Of party organization. We
want TO convince them that the Hawaii
ans do know how to govern themselves
and iunderstand what Republicanism
means. The argument used by the Inde-
lpendent party is this: That if either the
Republican or Democratic party is in con-
troll of Congress and the Hawaii
an people hold back and stand aloof from
beth parties. that the Congress will max
Iof Hawaii a State in order to get our
Votes for the party in power. In other
words. IT Is the idea of the Independent
party to be prepared to flop to either side
THAT IS wrong. You know that before
the railroad was built IL you wanted to
&c 10 Honolulu you would ride one horse.
Would you ride a Republican horse and
IA Democratic horse at the same time-one
foot over one and the other over the other
animal? No; you would ride one horse.
II you want TO have voice in the House
CT Representatives in Washington you
you viii get there quicker than in any
iother way. ] wish to carry out a sugges-
ton of Mr.. Parker's relating to the APP
preparation for Liliuokalani. 1t is true
that our opponents are trying TO make
the natives believe that this plank of our
platform is only a bait TO catch your
votes. ! will say to you that I had the
lhCnor of serving on the platform commit
tee with ten other gentlemen In the con-
lvcntion. and I would like to have the
men who make Sucn pretenceS unCef-
stand that IL was the unanimous desire OF
the committee that such an appropriation
be given her by the Legislature. Eight
of that committee were white men. and
three were natives, and can assure you
that IL we did not wish such a plank to
20 in the platform il would have been
THE easiest thing in the world TO have
voted IL down. They say we do not in
tend to let the natives have representa-
ltion Does the ticket We have chosen and
put into the field show that? I am a can
ldsdate before you as a Senator All / ask
Of you is this: Before you waste your
vote, think carefully over what will be
the advantages of having Republican in
control of your Island affairs at Washing
ten. The natives in the Republican party
represent the best element of the Hawaii
lans. Vote for the Republican ticket-thai
Is the only way you can make the future
OF Hawaii grand and glorious"
