DAVIS UPHOLDs CARTER.
George A. Davis made forceful adj
dress on local issues and showed
throughout, that although there were
some things in the administration he
criticised, yet he was ready to stand
behind the Governor as a loyal Re
publican and support his adIninistra-
ton, which to him also meant support
ing the straight Republican ticket. Mr..
Davis was loudly applauded through
out his speech, especially when he
made some witty sallies at Cecil Brown
and attacked Browns lack of loyalty
to the party from which he asked a
nomination.
Mr.. Davis said, in part:
ST had hoped had played my part
on the public platform as far as politi-
cal agitation is concerned. 1 am still
a Republican (applausel. If there are
any differences in the Republican party
we must settle them within the ranks
of the party.
IF were asked what Office under
the President of the United States was
the most difficult to fill I would an
swer that of Governor of Hawaii. He
is confronted with conditions that no
other man in office has to confront.
His every act is placed in the news
papers day by day.
Were I to say that I was in full
accord with the policy of the Governor
L would not be expressing what are
my own honest convictions. But when
it comes to deserving my party because
1 disagreed with the methods of the
party, 1 would be disloyaI to my own
country and my conscience. (Applause).
But the Republican party is greater
party is greater than the Attorney
General daughter and is greater than
the President" (Applause).
The speaker talked at some length on
the Democratic objection to passing the
14th Amendment to the Constitution,
in which it was said no mans rights
or privileges should be abridged by rea-
son of race, color or previous condi-
ton of servitude The black man was
denied the equal protection of the law.
had the Democrats had their way.
That was their position in 1868
The leopard cannot change his
spots,'' continued Mr.. Davis. ''The
party is actuated by the same motives
now as then.
'1 don't agree with the District At
torney when he says that the Cover
nor has done nothing to be criticised

| dwell upon them. 1 suppose a few
years ago 1 would have unhesitatingly

my ideas Haughter). His motives or

1 Senate he can govern this Territory

back him up. Carter has carried on a
| good administration. (Applause).
c. NJ. WHITES ADDRESS.
&c. NJ. White spoke as follows:
| When a political party presents its
credentials to popular suffrage, if it be
new, it must have a mission of useful
| ness and advancement not possessed by
| any other organization; it must be the
| offspring of public necessity; its ideals
must be superior to mere aggrandize-
| ment; it's policy must not be swayed by
success or defeats; its methods must
be above criticism; and its career in
spire respect. 1t cannot afford to tread
| the paths of baseness to reach the goa
| of success. If it be an old party, il
must leave in its wake a grand record
its honored past should be a guarantee
| of a kindred future; it's promises al
ready kept should justify confidence il
the fulfilment of its future pledges. L
should be a party OF motion. of action
of progress. Departure from worn ou
