ALL IRE REPUBLICANS.

Tho purpOrtCd harmony remarks OF
the Advertiser would be tmty II 1t
were not for the well established l.,.
tnat the Advertiser since ,as mcgp-
ton Of the Republican Party in Ha-
wall has been the head and from.
the creator and aggressive instigator
of the only factional strife that has
arisen within the party.
The selection OF the chairman, Sec
rotary. treasurer and every other Off
Ger of the Republican Territorial COM
mittec should be decided solely upon
the superior ability Of the man to full
I'LL the duties Of the important Office
upon the capable administration OF
which the success Of the Party depends.
Not the least thought or consideration
should be devoted to the individual al.
legiance to MIR. Sewall or MIR. Dole
Neither Mr.. Sewall nor Mr.. Dole as
honest party leaders could advocate
such course, which would at once be
destructive to party discipline and
fraught with the ever increasing dan
ger of keeping alive and tanning to
flame personal and fractional antago-
nisms.
There was a time in the history ui
these Islands when good men, Rcpub-
Leans. were divided according as they
supported the candidacy of Mr.. Sewall
or Mr.. Dole for the governorship of the
Territory. That contest is settled.
TO continue the division under a Re
publican administration Is merely ia
demonstrate the lack Of party integrity
possessed by the advocate of such n
scheme. and make manifest that per
sonal spite holds higher place in the
hearts of some of our citizens than
loyalty to the Republican administra-
ton and the men whom 1t has placed In
charge. BY what right does any Re.
publican In these Islands, when APP
preaching a general election draw a
factional line within the party upon tn.
personality of Mr.. Sewall. Mr.. Dole 81
any other person in the Territory?
The only honest Republicans known
in this Territory or any other are met
who, heartily and earnestly support
the Republican administration, the
platform Of principles formulated Ia
the national and Territorial conven'
tiuns. who work without Ceasing fOl
the election of the ticket placed before
the people by the Republican conven
ton. The Bulletin is confident tha
Mr. Sewall OF Mr.. Dole would be III,
last to put this man forward because
he Is Il Sewall man or the other bcCuUs,
he Is a Dole man. Opinions may di&CI
H. the preliminary discussions. Blu
the man or men be he or they wealthy
or poverty stricken who assume N
attitude Of Indifference towards Ia,
success Of the candidates Or measure
selected and determined by the major
ity is a traitor to his party and place
himself in the most despcable position
known to American politics.
The logical conclusion OF the Adver
Users proposition is that in event o
a"DOle man" being selected chairman
of the Republican committee no MAJ
can be chosen secretary of the commit
tee, however capable he may be o
whatever strength his selection ma!
give the party, unless he Is sworl
follower Of Mr.. Sewall and reverse i
true II "Sewal man" Is selectc,
chairman. Such course would b.
peanut politics of the most approve,
type. a shining eXmaple of the barte
and trade OF ward politicians, joI
chasers and machine rule, 1t SHOULD
not characterize the action Of the com
mittee.
With full appreciation Of the goo,
intentions that may have prompted tn
Advertisers suggestions, the Republi
such a plan. Republicans in nationa
as well as Territorial COunsels ar
sufficiently acquainted with Mr.. Sew
alls high political standing and pa
triOtic character to know that he vii
be found an active, powerful worke
at all times for the election Of part,
