in America today, said Governor
carter. "l"have no opinion us to what
! the outcome OF the presidential con-
, test Will be; could not have coming
from Hawaii, but | am, Of course, a
stanch supporter of Theodore ROose-
welt. who | take to be the greatest
conservative force in America.
I'VE must stop nIisusing that word
conservatism when we mean merely
the destructive StandpaJSm that ruled
and ruined at the Chicago convention.
"Theodore Roosevelt is. a consprva-
balance. as ready to say no to the eX.
trpmists who serve great wealth rs he
is TO the extreme radicaIism of social
ism. Roosevelt is not the flambuOy-
ant radical he is painted by his enc
mics one moment. nor the tool of
vested privilege, as they claim he is
the next moment. He is merely a
man wise enough to hear the rumble
of social danger.
Crisis Is Real.
The Bourbons laughed at the posi-.
bility of danger in the days before the
French revolution. They trusted to the
enormous strength of their armies, but
that strength proved useless at the
test. No strength, no organization can
stand against what that French army
met l am here to watch, to see if
the American people can be so foolish
as to laugh at their danger.
Let the people remember that the
interests ruthlessly destroyed the Re-
publican party in their attempt to de-
feat Roosevelt. Their delegates said
openly in New York that they did not
care if they did bust the party Sc.
long as they beat Roosevelt The
party is busted, but Roosevelt is not
beaten yet.
But there was nothing in the Homo
lulu papers to show that Roosevelt had
a ghost of a show at Chicago. We Gid |
not know, from anything we could |
have read in our local papers, that the |
break at Chicago was anything more |
than the mildest sc4ism-the unim
lmrtapt movement OF 4 small minority |
| have no doubt that in the reports in
the Honolulu papers The enthusiastic !
Roosevelt meetings here and in Los
will be reported as IrOsts on |
account Of the wild enthusiasm shoWa |
&c: Harlan"
But even Honolulu s slowly awak- |
ening to the Importance of this move |
mcnt and there is a growing feeling |
there for Roosevelt. Our opinions, I'M |
fortunately, are not very important, as !
