a speech on the public land question,
it with maps OF the differ
ent Islands taken from Governor Car
ter's report to the Department of the
Interior, showing the area of govern
ment lands in the Islands, and how it
had been eliminated from Niihau and
Lanai. He urged that the principles
of the Federal land laws should be
INN fa1 IaN -
not be left to the executive to legislate
concerning, and to affix conditions
by law.
R. H. Trent and DIR. Raymond were
also called on for addresses.
Chairman w. A Kinney of the COM
nittee on resolutions, reported the plat
form as follows:
THE PLATFORM.
The Democratic Party of Hawaii, in
Territorial Convention assembled, re-
news its fealty to the National Demo-
ratio Party, the principles of which,
We believe, are the surest safeguard of
he rights of American citizenship, and
he best hope for the working out of
he problems which now confront the
American people. and which in their |
olution will bring liberty and equality |
# right and of opportunity to every |
uman being.
We declare our belief that the appli- |
alton of these principles in the admin
stration of Hawaii will give here that |
ull measure of self government en-
Dyed in the past and now IN other Ter
itories of the United States, will abol-
sh the feudalism of our land system,
nd will give to labor its due and Just |
ewards.
In this behalf we urge upon the
Democratic Party in Congress such a
evision of our land laws as will take
rom the Executive of the Territory
over to ALLEVIATE, through exchange,
he public lands of this Territory, a
over under which immense areas have
cen and are being alienated and given
D large land holders, thus making it
ital to the interests of this Territory
nd imperative that some prompt and
ecisive action be taken to preserve the
portions of the public lands
this Territory for settlement by bona
de homesteaders. We, therefore, in
truct our delegates to the National
convention to endeavor to secure a
lank in the Democratic National plat
orm favoring the application of the
rinciples of the land laws of the Uni
ID States to the Territory of Hawaii
We call on the Democratic Party in
ongress to so revise the Organic Act
lat the full extent of local self gov
