MIR. BISHOPS SPEECH.
Candidate Bishop spoke rs follows.
Fellow citizens We appear before
you here tonight as the standard bear
! ers OF the Republican campaign, legis-
| lative and congressional. seeking your
votes ut the coming election in Novem-
Der next.
| We believe that the Republican party

BILE element of this Territory and II
elected Will carry out the pledges laid
down in our platform and generally act
as lawmakers In the best interests OF
| their constituents. Our promises we
believe are worthy of your faith as we
think in actual experience of the past
our representatives have lived up to
their party pledges, and this should be
n guarantee as to their future actions.
our Delegate has told you what his
work has been as the representative of
this Territory in Washington, and
when we consider what small dot on
| the map Hawaii is as compared with
the other States and Territories of the
Union, and how little we are in the
| ideas of Congress coupled with the linz
| itations that attach to the office of
Delegate 1 consider that he has done
remarkably well and gotten much for
us considering all the obstacles and
difficulties that he has to contend with
before he can accomplish anything.
You are aware that his position Is
much less favorable than that of full
nedged Congressman. He has no vote
no right to introduce n bill and can
only have the floor upon subjects per-
tanning to his Territory. He must get
| some Congressman to introduce his
| bills, and must rely on friendly mem
bers to make his fight when 1t comes
to voting. Notwithstanding these dis
| advantages and the additional dsad-
vantage of his being a stranger In
Washington, our Delegate, Kuhio, sue
ceeded in accomplishing the passage of
| n number of measures that benefited
Hawaii during the last session of Con-
gress, and / think this speaks well for
him, and as strong argument in ia
| vor of his reelection.
His predecessor was n blank and his
career in Washington was a failure so
far as obtaining any benefits are con-
cerned. The first Republican Delegate,
Kuhio, has accomplished much, which
| goes to show that Delegate of party
affiliations corresponding with the par
ty in power count for a great deal. The
Congress of the United States will hold
over under the control of the Repub-
lican party, no matter how the cleo
tons go this November, although there
is no doubt but that Republican land
slide is already In preparation. Already
the strong interests that We're inclined

take and 1t Is carly evident that he
is terrible disappointment to his par
ty. Here it Is six weeks from election
and Parker has only opened his mouth
to say things that drive his henchmen
to despair while on the other hand the
magnetism, energy and fearlessness of
Roosevelt continue to intensity, max
ing 1t evident to the people at large
that there is no comparison between
the fitness of the two men, the apathy
and dumbness of Parker in contrast to
the OPEN frank expressions Of Roosevelt
upon the issues of the day, making IL
clearly evident that the choice of the
people will overwhelmingly be for
Roosevelt, and in this connection it is
vitality important that Hawaii have
Republican Delegate, "A man who will
have some standing with the admins
tration and be able to get things and
do things for Hawaii The admnistra-
ton contemplate many things in the
way of public works in Hawaii during
the ensuing period. We want a Dele
gate who can demand recognition and
party standing. We want him to be in
u position to insist that the work
to be done, be done by Hawai-
ian contractors and laborers, for
these and many other rea-
sons do | urge you to vote for our can

so far. Many "A full-hedged Congress-
man has secured nothing for his con-
stituents.
Now as to local issues and the cam
paign here as bearing on the candi-
dates for the Territorial Legislature.
Here before you are the men whom
the convention of last week have chos-
en- upon to go on the ticket All Of
them / believe are well known to you.
You are aware of the promises con-
tanned In the party's platform which
We are al pledged 10 support. IL Is
true that the business Of leglslatlnG Is
new to most OF Us but l see no OBJ
lection to that, We have enough old
members on the House ticket 10 show
the new hands the ropes aud | believe
that they win take hold and do their
duty and do n fearlessly and honestly
In the Senate there are Followers
enough 10 start the new hands on the
right track, and don't Anticipate that
