Chairman P. A. Swift of the Mer-

The plans of the local organizations

The drawing of the land and water

the radical provision that was first

The plank now calls for the admins

Governor by and with the consent ST

directly to the amendment of the land

The Republican territorial plat
form, as agreed upon by the platform
committee and handed to the conven-
ton when 1t reconvened at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, is as follows:
The Republican party of Hawaii by
its representatives in Territorial con-
yention assembled renews it's un-
swerying allegiance to the principles
of the Republican party Of the main
land of the United States of America,
and reiterates its unchanging faith in
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people.
We should now declare our loyalty,
with sense of gratitude for our ma
tional peace and prosperity, to VIII
liam Howard Taft, who stands for re-
election as the party's nominee for
President
We heartily endorse his wise and
patriotic administration. Particularly
do we commend him for his firm and
consistent attitude in favor of the
Republican doctrine of protection, and
his action in yetoing the several bills
enacted by Congress aimed at the de-
struction of American industries.
{ We impress upon the citizens Of
Hawaii the high duty of qpickening
their interest In public affairs. The
destiny of the community rests upon
the individual efforts of our citizens.
Indifferent oitizsnship is an evil from
which the law affords NO adequate
protection and for which legislation
can provide 10 sfemedys g sy !:
A great fesponsib ibflity rests upon
the Republican party. It is not over
awed by 1t, yet fully realizes its sig
nificance 1t has always had the,
courage and wisdom to meet the re-
sponsibility laid upon it by the peo-
pie. We realize that all our problems
of government have not been solved; =
that there are many awaiting US in
the future which will tax our patriot
ism and our capacity to govern. The
Republican party faces the future with
a full appreciation of all of this and
with a high resolve to meet present
and future responsibilities with the
sole purpose to advance to the utmost
degree the welfare of the people of
Hawaii.

assistance be given by the Territory to
aid such immigration. We therefore
favor reasonable appropriations for
this purpose, and pledge our repre-
sentatiyes in the next legislature to
vote therefor. We further favor the
enactment of laws which shall crop

importation of immigrants undesirable
from either moral or physical stand

whenever corporations within the To-
ritory of Hawaii employing labor are
engaged in the importation into the
Territory from other parts of the Unit
ed States OF diseased, INDECENT or igno-
