Smi h Starts II.
The campaign manager made the
opening speech. II was now, he
said, half n century since the Re-
publican party became the dominant
factor In all affairs Of state in Amer
lea. Since the ele ton OF Abraham
Lincoln. the Republican party
through its officials had had the con-
trol of the country. with the excep-
ton of one short period. The pros
perity and growth which had fallen
J IN the lot of the United States were
due TO the Republican party. 1t
WIS true that mush of the legisla-
ton in Congress and in the various
States was not perfect. but with all
I Its imperfections the people of the
United States. as a nation, had beer
willing to accept this work, good
legislation as wei as PAD on th'
theory that the republican party
would DE the pest 10 chahge erT"'

into the laws.
Applies to Territory.
This also applied to the Territory
of Hawaii. Ten years ago 1t had
started on new existence polit'aI-
ly The first Legislature was not
Republican. The people had then
not yet been schooied In 'he art OF
caring for their own anairs pollt-
ically; but when they had learned
that the people which had been sen.
TO Congress and to the Legislature
were not fit. then the people select
ed the Republican party to run It's
AFFAIRS. Whatever there was ON the
statute books for the past eight years
the Republican party was largely re-
sponsible for. II had been the party
which had done things. II the Re-
public OF the United states ana the
Territory were fashioned on the
rrineiples of the monarchies of Eu-
rope. then the Republican part
would have taken unto ITSELF dom'-
nant power. But there was THIS ba-
nifcent thing, that each recurreht
two years IL must go before the eiec-
torate with declaration OF It's prih'
ciples. THIS time had now come
ana as campaign manager oil the ne
publican party, the speaker an
nounced that the campaign had
opened.
