PARTY UNITY AND PROGRESS,

Any doubts that may have arisen in
the minds Of Honolulu citizens as to
the reality and the vitality OF Republi'
can unity in the Fourth District were
positively and finally dispelled 10y the
rousing ratification rally Of last night.
The large attendance and the enthu'
siastic spirit in evidence on every
hand showed that the success OF the
Republican party is the single but pow
erful mOtive-pOwer which is uppermost
in the mind of every advocate and sup
porter OF Republican principle.
Factionalism has received its final
quietus. The determination Is oeep'
seated and sincere that the Repubh'
can party shall go forward. II faction
alists wish to haggle by the wayside
they may do so. 1t is their privilege;
but their councils will not be allowed
to check the steady onward march oil
RepubliCaniSm - party unity which
means commercial progress and pros.
perlty for every well-meaning citizen.
Republican workers have shown what
they can do. They will not hesitate or
rest upon their laurels. A greater and
more important contest Is before them.
This is but the beginning of an appeal
20 fair-minded, liberal, honest-thinking
voters who believe that Republican,
ism should not be the medium Of at
tempting to force clannishness upon
an organization in the name Of par
ty. Republicanism Is as broad and as
liberal as the government from which
II gains its life and to the successful
Federal administration OF which 1t is
so closely allied.
The Republican party seeks the as
atoms and its voting phalanN Of men
who believe in and support vigorous
liberal, as well as honest, administra
ton in all branches Of government
This Is the sentiment voiced by last
nights meeting. It met with hearty
response there. The same cordial On
dorsement OF this sentiment is voiced
throughout the business community
among all citizens. in fact, who hope
for and work for the advancement Of
this Territory on aggressive yet firm
American lines.
magnificent beginning has been
made. Let the enlistment Of voters IA

aim henceforth, The party stands be

clples which cannot be misunderstood
Notwithstanding endeayor Is made to
