plank was inserted in the honest con-
viction that the National Platform con-
| tains an enunciation of principles cali
cuIated TO promote the interests of the
| whole people of the United States. One
| of the traditions of the party was its
| adherence to the protection of home
| industries, sound money, increase of
| commerce.
| The second and third paragraphs en-
| dorsed the wise and patriotic admins
/ tration of Roosevelt and endorsed the
/ nomination of Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
| We applaud the patriotic, strong, clean,
| honest administration that Roosevelt
| has given the nation. There was every
reason, therefore that this Territory
! should endorse Roosevelt. He has on
| every occasion clearly shown his in
| terest in Hawaii and his desire is to
do the best for it's people. The speaker
| believed that Roosevelt would do ev-
erything in his power for Hawaii.
/ The fourth paragraph, he said. was
| good reading for some so-called Re-
| publicans who have thought, or believe.
| they ought to scratch the ticket. This
/ he said, was one of the planks that
Cecil Brown was standing on when he
| asked the Republican convention To
nominate him for the Senate. The plank
| read as follows: I'VE heartily endorse
/ the successful administration of Gov
ernor George R. Carter" (Applause.)
This platform was adopted in Hid, ON
September 1, and on September IS, Ce-
| ell Brown, standing On the PLATFORM
asked for a nomination. There was
every reason why the Hilc Convention
should have endorsed the administra
ton of Carter. Ever since his appoint
ment he has shown that he has the
best interests of the Territory at heart.
FIe has given a clean, honest efficient
administration. In ali his departments
and in every conceivable way his con-
slant effort has been for the best adj
ministration on behalf of the people.
He had not been in office long be-
fore she discovered the Territory was
up against it.'' There were two
courses for Carter to pursue. One was
to be bold and take the bit in his
teeth and arbitrarily cut down salaries
right and left and give the office-hold- |
ers to understand that they must al
expect to receive the salaries he was
willing to allow them. The other course |
was for him to throw himself upon the !
people of the Territory, by calling their /.
representatives of the Legislature, AMI |
submit to them the proposition of maxi |
ing the expenditures agree with the
receipts. 1t did not take him long to |
make up his mind. He did not arbitra- |
rily take the bit in his mouth, but he |
convened the peoples representatives
in the House and Senate and submit |
ted to them the condition of things as
he found them and he asked them as |
the peoples representatives to remedy |
the evil and right the wrong. He de-
aiTsT tTin
out victorious. They followed his sug-
gestions and they retrenched. Now we
find the Hawaiian treasury upon a |
firm and healthy basis.
Governor Carter had been severely
criticised by the Home Rulers and
Democrats and particularly by the lat
ter They accused him of running tie
Republican party and trying to be the
whole thing They had charged him
with demanding certain undated res1ss-
nations. The undated resignation is
sue was past one, as the Governor has
returned to the District Magistrates
their undated designations and he had
therefore wholly removed the complaint
made against him. The Governor had
had the manhood to correct the maj
ter. The Democrats were now trying
to interfere in the conduct Of the
Republican party. It was like a neigh
Dor who tries to tell a man how to run
his family
The speaker mentioned the difficulties
that beset the work of a newly arrived
delegate to Congress. and especially
one, like Kuhio, who was there whenI
Congressman were beginning to repair
their political fences for reelection. II
Kuhio were not elected again, he. and
that meant the Territory, would be Sc
riously handicapped when he went to
Washington next December, III trying
to get bills through. The fact that
be was a beaten candidates would OPP!
crate against him. '~rs - , -
The speaker considered the last legfs-
lature one, which by its record, passed
more important bills than at any
previous sitting of a legislative body in
the islands. Leaving out the graftings
of Kumalae and the rottenness gener-
ally of the Home Rulers, the result
showed the hard work done by the Re
publican measures.
The paragraph for citizen labor and
eight hours work was dwelt upon at
length by the speaker, referring espe-
cially to this plank as one on which
Cecil Brown stood when asking for a
SCl SSe1NG d
to japanese to build a $4,000 addition
to his mansion at Waikiki The eff.
fort of the Republican party to provide
an education for the children was gone
into at length, and the activity in the {
building of school houses. permanent 5
structures, was pointed to with pride.
A permanent settlement of money on
Liliuokalani until Congress should aid {
In the matter was plank in the plat
form in which all people, foreigners and I
alike, should take interest. |
This was the platform upon which {

who have pledged themselves to sup I
