Wise then squared himself and an

what 16 to l means!' Wise looked blank |
and peered at McClanahan. He shifted
from one foot to another. and finally said
/ In faltering tones: well don't believe
there is a man In Honolulu or Hawaii !
who can explain that. / am afraid am

by the scruff of the breeches an6 the back

f. Il. McClanahan spoke of his being an
] unattached member of the delegation
E from Hawaii. and having taken his seat
on the floor under the name of w. s..
Withers, having counterfe.ted that name
for himself at the suggestion Of the dele
: gates themselves and the secretary of the
n convention. He pointed a moral. There
q were six delegates from Hawaii to the
Kansas City convention and but two at
y the Philadelphia convention allowed to
Il "a Ike seats, which to his mind showed the
n proportion of respect which the two par
d. ties had for the new voters from Hawaii.
II want our friends, the newspaper men,
II to take note of the fact for me in my in
J. dividual capacity that the Is to plank

RI ton to the Republican party that though

past four years they have made it impos

we will again take up our fight on tn
y money question. The great plank in tn
IN Democratic platform and upon which tn
H. issues must be fought with the Republ
in can party Is that plank which touches tn
truth and wisdom of the American Con
