cannot forget the pleasure of the
years ! lived under the monarchy, as
youth, as a young man, as man of
business. My remembrances of all those
days give me a heartfelt aloha for
Hawaii and the Hawaiians. But it is
idle to look backward. We are enter
ing upon new era, an era full of large
possibilities to these Islands. We are
looking for a glorious outcome to the
Hawaiian Islands as a branch of the
great United States Government.
Now / state that / nominate the
Prince with a genuine aloha for him
self and his native fellow-countrymen.
AS ! said before, having lived fifty
years under the monarchy, / consider
It great honor to nominate member
of the royal family of Hawaii to repre-
, sent his country at Washington. This
is the highest Office in the gift Of the
people Of Hawaii and we. have the
pleasure of nominating to it a young
man who is a member of the formerly
reigning family. The Republican party
here should be proud that it is to have
in its ranks a leader of the Hawaiians
who has declared himself a Republic
can.
II believe that the Prince himself
should be proud that he has chosen to
belong to that party, which is a party
that stands for the good of the whole
people, for the protection of all who
are down-trodden. ] have never until
now had the pleasure of intimate ac-
quaintance with the Prime. Ny atten-
ton was called to him first by his
speeches through the country. He is
doing all he can, and he will continue
to do all he can to break down the race
prejudice that some Home Rule lead
ers are doing all they can to encourage.
/ 1t has been cause of sorrow to me
that some Hawaiians have been trying
to build up walls OF race prejudice. 1t
is for the interests of the Hawaiians
to mingle with white men, as more
foreigners are coming into the country,
and work together for the common
welfare of Hawaii. We are all sailing
in the same boat and if there Is dis
cord between the captain and the sail
ors we will never reach port in safety.
II believe that the Republican party
in securing the acceptance of the
Prince as its candidate, has a bright
prospect of victory. People all over
the Islands are wavering. The meth
DDS that have been adopted by the
Prince are the methods to win over the
people. The Home Rulers are discon-
tented. They are ready all over the
Islands to go into other parties. Prince
Jonah is able to increase the ranks OF
the Republican party, which ! believe
will be done He will have the support
of the entire Maui delegation and the
voters behind them. as well as of the
people of the Islands generally-Re-
publicans and others. AS | said before
| believe the waVering Home Rulers
will come into the Republican party.
II do not wish to say anything about
the other gentleman whose name has
been mentioned. lie is a friend OF
mine, but I would rather see the stand,
ard Of the party carried on to victory
than TO defeat"
