There was some little debate as to
the time to which recess should be
taken in order to permit the commit
tees to prepare their report. Finally
80 o'clock was decided on and the
convention took recess at IL clock.
Afternoon Session.
When the convention reassembled in
the afternoon the credentials commit.
tee was not quite ready to report, some
of the delegates having failed to pre-.
sent their credentials. recess was
therefore taken, and National Commit.
teeman G.. j. Waller was called on for
an address. His speech was in very
sincere but very optimistic vein. He
spoke of the great progress the party
had made in the past four years. In
that progress there was much for salts
faction. He urged that the very fact
that their ticket had good prospects of
election was an. added reason for the
selection of a good ticket and then
supporting it solidly. He spoke of the
visit of the Hawaiian Delegation to
the National Convention at Denver. 1t
had given those on the delegation n
better idea of conditions and political
parties and had given the party on
the mainland better idea of Hawaii.
1t had shown its interest in Hawaii
by inserting a plank in the platform
directly relating to conditions here.
81 believe" he said, that this
visit of our delegation has brought us
closer to the party on the mainland,
and believe that those who met our
delegates there have become more in
terested in Hawaii. In conclusion,
will ask that we all work together
for the success of the Democratic can
didates in the coming campaign, not
only for our local Legislature and
County officers, but for our Delegate
to Congress, so that we may have a
Democratic representative at Wash
ington when William Jennings Bryan
is elected President. In the last
election there was a great discrep-
ancy shown in the voting for Mr..
McClanahan and that for the other
Democratic candidates, and it is neces-
sary for us to show in this election
that we are united by giving the can
didate for Delegate as great a vote
as we give the other candidates. In
conclusion all l can say is let us work
together for the success of the party, |
as l believe that we have much to
encourage u.s.
