PEOPLES SUPPORT.

/ In their trip over the island of Ha-
wall Governor Carter Secretary Akin
son and other members of the party
are receiving warm welcomes at every
! point, the Hawaiians especially gather
/ ing at the various stopping places to
! greet the executive and decorate him
| with leis. Explosions of dynamite
| served for a salute when the Kinau ar
| rived at Mahukona, after one of the
toughest trips i'm her history. The
party were met by Senator Palmer
| Woods, Frank Woods, II. L. Holstein
and A b. Loebenstein, and lunched at
! the Fraser home in Mahukona.
! A visit was mate to Senator Woods
ranch. where the party was entertain
| e1 splendidly. At the Kohala club there
was a meeting, at which Governor Car
| ter made an address, and Senator
/ Kaohi, Representative Kaniho and
others spoke The governors remarks
/ were received with applause and
/ cheers, and he was given pledges of
support to his administration. He
spoke for a legislature which will CO.
! OF crate with the administration, for the
sCod of the whole territory. He closed
| his remarks as follows:
! ct hope that during my administra-
/ ton, Divine Providence will so guide
my acts that when 1 retire at the end
of four wears there will be many of
! you Hawaiians who will feel that the
! Territorial government is a good gov
ernment-is one that satisfies and
! pleases you And I hope that you will
be patriotic and help me in every way
you can.
Now to you old gentlemen that are
in this audience, with your gray hairs
! to which We all show respect-born un-
| der the Hawaiian flag, reared under
it, and filled with an aloha for it,
say to YOU that respect the aloha you
have for it ard If you want that flag
to be your Territorial flag and fly over
your buildings, say let it fly; but we
| say also to you that a change has come
/ here, and the wisest and best men be-
lieve that change is for your benefit.
IN one of the few conversations I
/ had with the President of the United
States, Theodore Roosevelt, he said TO
me, I want an administration in Ha
! waii that respects, satisfies and pleas
es the people of that country who were
born there. I want the children born
in Hawaii to grow up to respect and
revere the Stars and Stripes; and so
say, l hope at the end of my four
years, will find Hawaiians-grown-up
young men, who, when asked what
they are, will not say as so many of
them say, We are Hawaiians,' but will
! say, We are Americans; and a part of
that great union which has done so
much to raise humanity up and done
so much for the races of every color
and every flag and every cline.
Nov as 1 close l will be very glad
indeed if Mr. Holstein will call on some
of you to tell me of your wants. DO
you want new roads or new wharves,
or new schoolhouses or new buildings?
Or do you want new homesteads-or
what?
81 want to again thank you for the
hospitality you have shown. 1t is
characteristic of Hawaii. Their hos
pitality is equaled by no other people
and l want to tell you that no matter
what comes I will not forget you nor
the way you have come out here today.
It gives me the greatest encouragement
and if the Hawaiian people will work
with me l will do everything in my
power for their benefit. Our delegate
in Congress was a schoolmate of mine
and it gave me the greatest of pleasure
to help elect him. Now that he is in
! Congress it gives me great pleasure to
write to him and give him all the as
sistance l can. believe he will ac-
complish as much in Congress as any
Individual can. Aloha" prolonged
applause.)
