to tell you that only the true and seri-

duty to this Territory and also my
deep and earnest love for this land OF
my birth, have led me to accept this
high Office, to which the President of
our great Republic has been pleased
to call me.
Fellow citizens, this is most noble
position that | am called to, yet were
it not for the sense that President
Roosevelt has confidence in me, and
that many and able men of this Ter
ritory are ready and willing to assist
me, should hesitate before accepting.
This task which has come upon me

givings | am young and impulsiye,

that an earnest and fearless worker

of your estimation, If not of your en-
! tire appreciation.
This l can tell you; l shall devote
myself heart and soul to the duties
of my high Office. The country of my
birth shall never say that | spared

the Asiatic station will be in Honolulu

should be fair. Under the system OF

by Thomas Jefferson and maintained
by the Democratic party, the United

as great as a large and powerful one
