gress, expresses the opinion that the
results of the election demonstrated
not only victory of individuals but
mainly of the principles expounded by
the Republican party in its platform.
Mr.. Atkinson yesterday outlined the
benefits that should accrue from Re
publican legislative measures, as fol
lows:
'Our qualification at Kuhio Is cleo
ton is too great to be expressed. The
people of Hawaii have once again
shown their good sense. They have
elected a Republican senate and Re-
publican house. By so doing, the peo-
pie of this country have endorsed the
Republican territorial platform adopt.
ed at Honolulu, September IL, 1910.
Do they realize what that meansi In
the first place it means that the peo-
pie endorse the vigorous and successful
administration of Gov. Walter F. Frear,
and are proud of the results he has
accomplished for the welfare of this
? Territory.
cit means further that, we shall have
continued and improved policy of inn
migration under government control, to
secure the immigration of Portuguese
and such other desirable immigrants as
will advance the welfare of the people
of Hawaii and assure the early attain
ment of statehood.
st also means that Hawaii is GO
ing to be allowed to develop herself
by planting population on the soil,
which will develop this country along
traditional American, lines. 1t means
that not less than 100000 of the sur
plus in hand is to be spent for the con
cfr, Of h.,
islands, thereby assisting homesteaders
and furnishing employment for citizen
labor.
"We are to have a policy of con.
servation of natural resources. Lands
and waters are to be surveyed and for.
ests created; animals and plants are to
be protected from pests and Diseases
assistance is to be given to the study
of taro, rice, cotton, pineapple, tobac'
co, rubber and other agricultural in
dustries.
First Claim Upon Revenues.
Education of the youth of Hawaii
is to have first claim upon the revenues
of the Territory. A law is promised
which will permanently secure the sup
port of the public schools.
''The legislature is pledged against
making any change or modification OF
the liquor law, but at the same time
the Republican party demands that the
aforesaid liquor law shall be faithfully,
impartially and vigorously enforced,
and pledged itself to make necessary
appropriations for. such purposes. Il,
Assistance is to be given TO develop
the study of leprosy and tuberculosis,
as also is an effort to be made to
improve the agencies regarding the
public health.
"The Republican party has pledged
itself to provide homesteads from the
public lands for each of the persons
who have been discharged as cured
from the Molokai settlement or Kalihi.
"O1r legislators have pledged them
selves to make sufficient appropria-
,tions, through loan funds if necessary,
ito provide as soon as possible adequate
wharf and landing facilities and APP
,proaches thereto, to accommodate the
RAPIDLY increasing commerce of the
Territory, particularly in view of the
approaching completion of the Panama
Canal.
Settlement for Queen.
"Our legislators also stand pledged
for a permanent settlement for the
Queen, and also advocate the reserva-
tion of the crater of Kilauea as a
national park; to arrange for great
register of voters; to pass law for
a direct primary for elective offices on
the Island of Oahu; to make it neces-
sary to put the party utilization on ev-
cry ballot; to appropriate sufficient
funds to enable the promotion commit
tee to continue its work. to make an
appropriation for the expenses of the
congressional visit and to make such
a record that Hawaii will be worthy OF
becoming a State.
"The people of Hawaii are free from
the danger of being driven as Mr..
Roosevelt says, by boss. The danger
of squandering the public lands is past.
The danger of tying up immigration
for two years and of monkeying with
the liquor business, as proposed in the
Democratic platform, has been voted
down. A great many other dangers
have been passed.
Live Up to Promise.
cit is now up to the people of Ha,
wall to see that their senators and
representatives will give them things
they have been promised in their plat
form.
"With our vigorous and successful
Governor, we should be in position
to give to the people of this country
n great deal of constructive legisla'
ton. Governor FTear has the oppor'
tunity, and all can say is that hope
