PRINCE KUHIO,
WHO again heads the Republican tick
ct as the candidate for Delegate to
Congress.
for your consideration, a platform
which is the result of much deliberation
and consideration on it's part. Be-
lieving that it is a clear enunclation of
Republican ideas and principles and
that it meets existing issues fairly and
sauarely, and believing further that on
this platform and with the candidates
to be nominated the Republican party
in the Territory of Hawaii will be once
more victorious, we unanimously rec
ommend the adoption of the platform
without amendment. Respectfully sub
mitted,
"'Robt. w. Breckons, chairman; A. d.
Castro, Geo. w. Renton, w. Leslie
West, David X. Kapahee, Cecil Brown,
S. i. Desha, Evan da Silva, j. A. Ma

More Recesses.
To the committee S report was at
tached a printed copy of the platform.
The report was unanimous and signed
by the fifteen members of the COM
mittee.
Breckons called for a recess to allow
the Hawaiian members of the conven-
tion time to read the Hawaiian version
and study it as it would eventually
save time when the adoption of the
platform should be reached. Carried.
The convention came to order again
mt forty.one minutes past three
o'clock, after the Hawaiian version of
/ the platform had been printed and
distributed Cecil Brown moved to
consider the platform, section by sec
tion, and d. L. Wilmington stated if
there We're no objections to any plank
of the platform the same should be
adopted as whole With some
reference to swallowing woman's suf'
| frage, Mr.. Wilmington then moved to
adopt the committees report but R
w. Aylett was on his feet with al
amendment to the platform which he
asked should be read. 1t was read, az
follows:
Kamaaina Plank.
"The Republican party protests
against any effort to secure an amend
ment to that part of the Organic Act
which makes citizenship of the Terri
tory necessary qualification of th'
Governor. While realizing fully tha
corporate interests within the Terri
tory are far.reaching in their influence
yet the Territory possesses many mel
of high standing and integrity wei
and ably equipped to perform tn
duties of the office, possessed of tn
necessary moral courage to withstand
all attempts direct or indirect, to oh
: tain gubernatorial support for specia
privileges of any nature whatsoever
and in close touch and sympathy wit
all of the people of the Territory
without distinction
The amendment was seconded by Nj
