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 thet 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 its people. The speaker
believed that Roosevelt would do ev-
erything i'm 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 Hilo on
September /, and on September 16, Ce-
ell Brown, standing on the platform,
asked for a nomination. There was
every reason why the Hilo Convention
should have endorsed the administra-
| tion of Carter. Ever since his appoint
ment he has shown that he has the
best interests of the Territory at heart.
TIe has given clean, honest efficient
administration. In all his departments
and in every conceivable way his con-
stant effort has been for the best ad-
ministration on behalf of the people.
He had not been in Office long be-
fore he discovered the Territory was
up against it." There We're 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 all
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, and
submit to them the proposition of max
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-
pended upon their patriotism and came
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 the
Republican party and trying to be the
whole thing" They had charged him
with demanding certain undated resig-
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 hau
had the manhood to correct the mat
ter. The Democrats were now trying
to interfere in the conduct of the
Republican party. 1t 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 when
Congressman We're beginning to repair
their political fences for reelection. If
Kuhio We're not elected again, he. and
that meant the Territory, would be Sc
riously handicapped when he went to
Washington next December, in trying
to get bills through. The fact that
he was a beaten candidates would op-
crate against him.
The speaker considered the last legis-
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 ani
eight hours work was dwelt upon at
length by the speaker, referring espe-
clally to this plank as one on which
Cecil Brown stood when asking for n
nomination, and yet he gave a contract
to japanese to build a $4,000 addition
to his mansion at Waikiki The ef-
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
structures. was pointed TO with pride.
permanent settlement of money on
Lilluokalani. until Congress should aid
I'm the matter, was a plank I'm the plat
form In which All people. foreigners and
Hawaiians alike, should take interest.
This was the platform upon which
tho candidates We're standing. No one
was running on the ticket except those
who have pledged themselves 10 sup
port every plank OF it
