1.-THE Republican party of this Ter
ritory is facing, in my opinion, one OF
the most critical times In its history
With the Democratic party in power III
the Territory and the City and County
Of Honolulu, with the Republican party
in this Island entirely demoralized, and
with new primary law requiring Q
complete readjustment of political af
fairs, il is necessary that the utmost
loyalty and tact should be .exercized by
all of us to carry the party successfully
through the coming year. This can only
be done if all win work together, ant
! especially appeal TO the old workers
of the party, who Loyalty supported i
in the past, to come once more into thu
ranks and forget the many just causes
Of complaint which they had against The
party management during the las
years. To them promise that,if they
assist me In rebuilding the party, WI
will have a period of success that viii
excel the earlier years of the brganiza
ton in this Territory, when the Repub
| lican party was the party of all the
| people and not of few self-constituteI
| bosses.
~ have, another word of warning Il
the Republican workers. = ..
1--WE are about TO engage in a prim
Rry contest, In which our zeal for ou
personal friends may cause some bit
terncss between active workers. Let Vi
remember that this contest is a friendl,
contest. The old convention system i
done away with, but the direct primar,
is the people 3 convention, to which ev
cry voter is delegate, and while it 1
our duty to work hard for those candi
dates we believe il will be in the in
terest of the Republican ,partytto nomi
nate, yet, when the primary is over an,
the result is announced, we must loyal
ly stand by the choice of the majorit,
and support the candidates Of the party
1.-THE test of true Republieanism /
loyalty to the party, regardless of TIL
personal friendship for the candidates
When the will of the majority of tn
party has been recorded as to VIII
should be its candidates that deeisioi
should be final and we should willinRl
bow in submission to its dictates. Il
work as a united party for the victor
for the candidates that that maiorit
has selected at the primary. 80.
- After the primary election it vii
be the further duty of all of us TO wor
as Il united party to bring victory to Al
the candidates selected by the Republ
can voters"
