POSITION OF
IAUKEA In 1902.

Ing the enblte consistency OF DIE
course since then, we reprint from
the Advertiser below portion Of
the proceedings OF the Republican
Territorial Convention oil902
Colonel Iaukea made strong plea |
for consistency between Party Plat
form and Party Policy (Which meant
putting off the evil day when those
in power were to be shorn of some
OF that power) won the day as Policy
wins with all Republican promises.
In the course Of his remarks be
prophesied defeat of the Party at
future elections if they betrayed the
people in the matter of County Gov
ernment,
1t is up to the voters to fulfill
his prophecy by electing the entire
Democratic ticket:
George r Garter from the com
mittse on platform was recognized
and read the document ct length.
The convention expected much
from tie COMMITTEES and its dsclara-
tions were received with applause,
The name of President Roosevelt
first evoked cheers and when the
committee's pronouneemept on suf-
rage was read there was acheer and
burst of applause, showing how
completely the stand of the party
filed the minds of delegates and
spectators. The next plank, that
dealing with the stand Of the party
on city and county government was
just as loudly received aud from
that point every declaration OF faith
brought forth applause. The plans

the report as whole and this vas
seconded by j L Kaulukou, who
said there was no reason to argue
upon such complete production.
Curtis p Isukea took the floor and
moved the following as an amend
ment to the platform as O substitute
to the city and county plank:
"Be 1t Resolved, That the Repub.
lican party does hereby pledge itself
to enact law providing for munich

Dr. j FL Raymond secured the
floor Immediately, but was inter
rupted by Col Fisher who demsnd-
ed the translation of Iaukea's remark
that the plan meantsths STAYING of
of scton until there were sufficient
haolel in the country to defeat the
bill over the beads Of Hawaiiane
DR. Raymond said that during the
session of the committee there was
not q single voice raised against
Immediate passage of an act estab-
ishirg county and municipal
governments. The reason why the
clause was inserted sending the
law to the people was for ratifica-
ton by them and not for the pur-
pose of delay. 1t was the intention
Of the committee that the law
should be passed at once and sub.
mitted Immediately go that the law
might go into effect even before the
conclusion of the Legislature.
DR. Raymond said that all are
American citizens aud he was sur
prisei that any man after hearing
the speeches Of the senators this
morning would appear on the floor
aud make fight upon the color
line.
A g M Robertson secured the
floor and said he agreed with much
that Iaukea said. The Republican
party could not afford to be equivo-
cal on the subject of county and
city government. He said it would
be I'M Republican and I'M American
to be equivocal. He said there
must be immediate action and that
the easiest way was to amend by
striking out the clause referring the
act to the citizens of the Territory
He said that with the plank in that
form the objections of the delegate
from the fifth district would be

IF you persist in this cruel action

This was the emphatic threat hurl-
ed at Police Commissioner Handley
this morning by Bishop McIuturff of
the Church of Spokane. when the
commissioner turned his back on the
men who were pleading for mercy
in nealf of the crippled and invalided
popcorn merchants, who are facing
starvation as the result of the
boards order driving them off the
streets.
As told in another column, Bishop
McInturff appeared before the city
council last night to ask for help
against the coldblooded order of the
board. The matter was referred to
the police board and this morning
Bishop McInturff and Councilman
Baines called at the city hall to try
to persuade the board to modify the
order.

ed on Chief of Police Waller and that
officer threw up his hands and de-
clared he was out of the fighting.
The chief went SO far as to declare
he would allow the deserving ones to
