AIN UNJUST PROPOSAL.

Republicans of Hawaii should voice an EN-
phatic protest against the proposal that this
territory shall have no voice hereafter in the
nomination of Republican candidates fol-
president.
The new plan of representation in national
conventions plan under which Hawaii has
twoidelegates but no vote, whereas Alaska has
two delegates each with a vote-is manfestly
unfair to this territory. There is no justice in
discriminating in favor of Alaska as against
Hawaii. Hawaii as territory has far wider
powers of self-goyernment is older, better
organized, the party more solidly founded and
maintained. Hawaii does not propose to sub
NIT to plan that Classics this territory po-
Htically with Porto Rico and the Philippines.
This is a territory, not possession.
It is Of vital Importance to Hawaii that we
retain voice in the nomination of presidents.
Hawaii has no vote in Congress; our opportun-
ity to be heard in representation of territorial
interests is small enough as it is.
Particularly in defense of Hawaii S main in
dustry, sugar, and in defense of the sound Re
publican doctrine of protection for legitimate
industries, is it necessary that Hawaii command
q voice in the nomination of presidents and
TINS WELD some real influence in national con-
MENTIONS.
The national committeeman and others with
influence in national party councils should lose
not moment in placing this matter strongly
before the national committee. Hawaii has
Just gone Republican by an overwhelming vote
and in justice to the vigorous Republicanism
Of this territory, the party should not be de-
prired of one Of its chief assets locally its In
euence in national affairs.

tion advocates, that the proposition as pat IN
California was not fair to the vineyaraists and
other industrial elements that il would
amount virtually to confscation of property.
Undoubtedly this weakened the issue. And
just as undoubtedly it will come up again and
next time or the next California will go dry.
Perhaps before that time the constitutional
amendment for nationwide prohibition will
have carried and it will be no longer state
issue. ~
