CHAIRMAN. KINNeYS ADDRESS.
Fellow Citizens: As chairman of the
Territorial Central Committee of the
Democratic party of Hawaii, take
pleasure in presiding at this meeting
called to ratify the Legislative ticket
of the Democratic party at the coming
election, and in presenting to you the
different candidates selected to run up
on that ticket.
Entering for the first time publicly
upon my duties as chairman this even
ing, I desire to refer briefly to per-
sonal matter 1t Is being said, l I'M
derstand, that / am taking an active
part in Democratic politics having In
mind the securing of some important
office should the Democratic party be
successful in the national elections ana
.he Territory pass into Democratic
control Ordinarily ! would pay no at
tention to this statement, but as 1t
may impair my usefulness in the dis
charge of my duties as chairman of the
Territorial Central Committee, and as
II is not true, / wish to put quietus
TO such talk and to deny in toto, as
now do, any such intention, and To
state without mental reservation that
under no consideration whatever am
seeking or will l accept office of any
kind. The fact that l have never held
office heretofore, though having had
opportunities that way, should be con-
elusive that In the present instance
mean what say and say what mean.
The truth is any intelligent man who
believes that party politics must ana
will prevail in this Territory and that
the citizen party or ticket is imprac-
ticable and also unwise, can see the
imperative necessity for every citizen
taking an active part to the extent OF
his ability in the discharge of civic
and political duties. If there are to be
two parties here it is imperative that
both these parties shall be responsible
parties. we'll organized and able to cope
inteuigently with any issues that mag
from time to time confront the people
Of this Territory and to handle them
so as to promote the welfare of the
citizen. and the business and material
interests of this Territory.

suggested
alliance of the white race against the
native race with all the evil results
and bad blood of race struggle. The
Hawaiian people, after so years of
friendly and fraternal relations with
the white race, deserve no such fate,
and whatever may happen, however
slow the Hawaiians or some of them
may be to fully appreciate their priv
leges.as American citizens, and to use
these privileges understandingly ana
well, the white race, particularly those
OF that race born and bred in Hawaii,
cannot and will not subscribe to any
program involving the setting aside of
the Hawaiian. He must go hand in
hand with us until in a complete fusion
Of blood the posterity of both races
shall forget for all practical purposes,

We claim that the present conditions
IN this Territory show that 1t is high
