tFrom Sundays Advertiser)

plause with Governor Carter, Attorney
General Andrews, Delegate to Congress
Kuhio and the coming victory of the
Republican party in Hawaii next No
yember, at a rousing ratification meet
ing held last evening at the Orpheum.
The enthusiasm manifested was genuine
and at times intense.
Last nights meeting was the initial
move of the Republican party In the
campaign now on and judging from
what was said by speakers. the Home
Rule and Democratic parties in this
Territory haven't a ghost of a show.
III the array of speakers and others
who occupied seats upon the stage were
Governor Carter, Delegate kuhio, Ma
tional Committeeman A. G. NJ. Robert
son. Attorney Andrews, Will
liam Haywood, Frank z. Thompson, w.
III. Hogs and Henry C. Vida. The
meeting was presided over by Chairman
Clarence Crabbe of the Territorial Cen
trail Committee.
A. G. NJ. ROBERTSON.
The first speaker was Mr.. Robertson
who said that a year or so ago he
spoke from the same stage during the
County Act campaign and then en-
deavored to impress upon the Republic
can voters the value of harmony and of
improving the party organization in the
Islands. He was pleased to note that
within the past twelve months there
had been great advance in this re-
spect, for there was harmony. Differ
ences had been settled and he was
hat no rtv on
was more united and more consolidated
than it has been before since its or
eanization here In the coming conven-
ton every element of the party was
represented. every faction had a mouth
piece.
Mr. Robertson then spoke at length
upon his experience with the wonder
fully unified Republican party on the
mainland, which, without a hitch, had
nominated Roosevelt. He spoke dispar-
agingly of the Democratic convention
as one of the most disorderly gather
ings ever known to American history.
Mr.. Robertson spoke in warm eulogy
of Roosevelt, saying that his election
meant much to Hawaii. With Kuhio in
Congress and a good Republican legis-
lature, Hawaii could make good show
ing when Roosevelt again occupied the
Presidential chair.
At this juncture Governor Carter and
Delegate Kuhio came into the theater
and the crowd gave vent to it's en-
thusiasm by cheering them long and
earnestly.
GOVERNOR CARTER.
Governor Carter then spoke of the
pleasure he found in being once again
in Hawaii, the land of sunshine and
plenty. He said he went to the Chicago
convention to do what he could for Ha-
wall nei with the main object ot becom-
ing acquainted with the men who WELD
ed not only the destinies of the Repub-
lican party but of the United States
also. He accepted every opportunity to
meet such men. He wanted to be able
later on to approach them when Ha-
wall needed Federal aid, and also to be
able to help the island Delegate in Con-
gress through his new friends. He
spoke of the ignorance of great men
concerning Hawaii, many not knowing
the islands We're Territory. Col. Bing
ham told him Hawaii was not a Terri
tory. The matter had to be fought on
with his amendment, and although
there We're 10000 people in the building,
Hawaii was heard from far and wide
and its name was applauded. Foraker
said the next time there was a con-
vention he would see that Hawaii had
an equal representation with every
other Territory. The success of the
party on the mainland was of interest
to Hawaii.
Il find that most of the trouble here,
politically. is through misunderstand
ing" said the Governor. Most of the
people think the other fellow is all
wrong and somebody has told what the
other fellow said about him and on goes
the trouble. L want to plead for the
same harmony in Hawaii that is evil
dent on the mainland. / want to plead
for the Golden Rule here.
There is a splendid chance to bring
out more unity of action in the party.
There are none of US can have our own
way all the time, We have got to give
and take. We are all working for the
same end and object.
I'VE must go through this election
honestly and clean so that the win
ming party will feel that it has won a
clean and honest fight and the losing
party win feel that it's loss came honest
ly. (Applause.) The duty devolves
upon you TO do this-don't pass the buck
up to me everytime. l will try TO do
my part. We want to make Hawaii
known everywhere for its clean poll
tics" (Applause.)
Delegate Kuhio made a speech in Ha-
waiian which was enthusiastically APP
pauded by those understanding the
language. He spoke earnestly in favor
of Roosevelt ana a hearty campaign for
the ticket In the Islands.
