for adoption by this convention:
Platform of the Republican Party of
the Territory of Hawaii:
The Republican party of the Terri
tory of Hawaii, in convention assem-
bled, hereby make the following declar-
alton of principles to the support of
which We and our candidates are pledg-
ed:
1. We proclaim anew our adherence
to the traditions and policies of the Re-
publican party and announce our un-
swerving allegiance to the principles of
that party as contained in its national
platform adopted in Philadelphia in
1900.
2. To President Roosevelt we accord
our most cordial endorsement for his
mastery administration of national af-
fairs and the faithfulness with which
he has carried out the principles of Re
publicanism and we are proud of his
ability, his courage and his sturdy
Americanism.
g. We believe in the equality Of all
men under just laws of the own max
ing and we shall emphatically and un-
or limitation of the suffrage which we
now enjoy under the Organic Act.

by the next Legislature establishing
county governments in Hawaii model
led after the most advanced and popu-
lar systems elsewhere and We fur
Their demand the passage of a gen.
eral municipal government >act by
which such municipalities as so desire
I
| lagos.
5. We urge Congress to appropriate
such an amount as will pay the awards
of the fire claims commission and
pledge ourselves to use every effort to
obtain such appropriation.
6. We urge continued liberal appro-
priatiOns for the maintenance of our
unfortunate fellow citizens segregated
at Kalaupapa and Kalawao, Molokai
and for the erection and maintenance
of suitable home for the nOn-leprous
children of leprous parents.
Z. We shall as speedily as possible
endeavor to secure statehood for this
| Territory
s. We demand more speedy improve
| ment of our harbors, Wharfage and
landing facilities throughout the Terri
! tory to meet the requirements of our
| rapidly increasing commerce and we
| shall strive to secure from the Nation
al Congress appropriations for the inn
provement of our harbors, the erection
of public buildings and for other pub
| lie needs.
| 8. We favor the employment on all
| public works of only qualified voters
! and citizens of the Territory and we
| declare that eight hours should cOnsti-
| tute a days work on all public works
of the Territory or its political sub
| divisions.
10. We favor the continuance by the
Legislature of permanent settlement
! upon eX-Queen Liliuokalani.
| II. We recognize the importance of
diversified industries and shall en-
deaVor to secure from Congress the
| protection of the same from foreign
| competition.
u. We demand the revision of the
! present system of taxation by the next
| Legislature with a view of adjusting
the public burden so as to be least felt
| by the poor.
/ 10. We do not favor legislation tend
ing toward the conducting of the liquor
| business by the Territorial government.
| IA. We earnestly request the Con-
/ gress of the United States to amend
! that portion of Territorial act which
provides that the English language
| only shall be used in the legislative
| proceedings so as to permit the use
of the Hawaiian language.
! 10. We oppose all trusts and monop-
olies and all combinations tending to
control supplies and prices.
16. We demand liberal appropria-
tions for school buildings throughout
| the Territory TO provide ample accom-
modations for all children of school
age.
II. We urge liberal appropriations
for the improvement and maintenance
of the public highways throughout the
Territory.
IS. The only manner in which the
| country can receive the benefit of Re-
| publican principles is through the cleo
ton of Republican candidates. To sue
| coed at the polls 1t Is essential that the
| party be fully organized and thorough
| ly united. The best method of securing
organization is through the institution
and maintenance of Republican clubs
covering every election precinct in the
Territory. We deem 1t therefore the
duty of every man who believes in the
doctrines of the Republican party to
become a member of the Republican
club of his election precinct and the
duty of every Republican club to
! heartily and unitedly support the nom
inees of the Republican party.
Relying upon the wisdom and support
! of the voters of the Territory of Ha-
I wall and the guidance of Divine Provi-
! dence we shall earnestly strive to carry
! out the foregoing declarations and to
! do whatever else may be necessary to
! perpetuate upon our soil "a government
of the people, by the people and for the
! people,"
! AN ACTRESS MARRIED.
