Get Together.
That brings me to another thought.
How about accomplishing this result?
Every new State aud Territory. or poll.
teal subdivision, has troubles OF its
own. ! do not wish to make many
criticisms OF this, but | presume the
condition Is the same here as has been
found in all other new political parts
of the United State. You have got to
have some privates. You cannot all be
officers In a political organization any
more than all can be officers in an
army. Men, to come together to ac.
complish results, must yield for a large
party their time and personal views.
individuals can fight politically forever.
but results will not follow. X Is only
through organization, only through
the temporary suIrcndering of many
that great political party can succeed
in the elections. Today II could give
you one thought that would assist ia
putting you in harmony with the Re.
publican administration II would be
this No matter how you are divided.
no matter whether you have belonged
to the party heretofore, that you yield
individual prejudiCes aud come togeth--

whatever is fairly presented to Con-

into legislation just as rapidly as the
due course OF the national business will

hawaii'o Advantage.
| Another reason TO put yourselves In
line with the party that controls the
United States We have already made
up our minds that these Islands are to
be the outpost in the Pacific ocean for
the extension of our trade and com
merce with the Orient; that trade and
commerce now in It's infancy will grow
until II becomes a factor in American
prosperity as = all her trade and COM
merce upon the other side: In this
growth of our commerce aud this ad.
Nancement of our material interests
there Is not one spot on the whole
round world that can secure as great
an amount Of advantage as can the Ha-
waiian Islands. (Applausej
Another suggestion: While the Unit
ed States, through its Congress, acts
slowly, II always acts, and having its
affairs laid out, 1t moves forward to
their accomplishment.
American Plans,
know It is already the purpose OF
the people OF the United States to take
up vigorously the matter OF your har-
borS which are to be the outDosts and
establish here a naval base and forth
hcations. and keep here enough men
and ships TO guard and protect the in
terests of these Islands, and the Unit
ed States in whatever emergency that
may arise with the other great powers.
Republican Intentions.
II Is the purpose of the American
people, through the Republican party.
and In the near future not reckored
by years but by months only. to eXpeud
In these Islands millions aud millions
of dollars in the improvement Of your
harbors and the erection OF the naval
station at Pearl Harbor. Other i'm
provements will come along In due
course,
There is another thing. Today, in
my Judgment, you are somewhat I'M
justly Disseminated against in the Or
Sanic Act, but 1t has been through no
tauit Of the people in Congress, except
through their ignorance as to what
your conditions were. Whatever they
nave done inadvertently will be right !
ed as soon as the matter Is brought to
thelr attention and sense of Justice.
Taking the Revenues.
The United States Government ought |
not to have taken the revenues OF your
ports tremendous and prolonged an. !

adequate in return. (Applause.) II
should not have depleted your reve.
nues unless IL gave you something of |
equal value from which you could de.
rive revenue to carry on your local .af-
iairs' ] think IL Is only necessary to
nave that question brought to Congress
ana the proper appeal made through
the proper representative to have this
matter Strengthened out. and this i'm.
position will cease, (Applause.)
