4 the greatest Of the civilized aud
ivilizing nations. Under its admin
STATIONS and policies the ambitious
nd industrious from other lands have
ever been denied a home, the right TO
reedom, entire independence in right
sloing, and perfect liberty in the pursuit
# happiness. II has always main-
aimed the prosperity Of the nationi pro-
tected the workingman and American
Industries promoted domestic and for
eign commerce, and has, indeed, always
upheld at home and abroad the honor
and the glory of our Country againet
the vicissitudes Of the times.
Under the eonstrnctive administra'
tions Of the Republican party, Hawaii

e0nmonweaitA. Our social and indus
trial institutions, which the Republican
party has 80 wisely fostered and de.
| yeloped, stand forth as a tribute TO the
soundness Of its policies.
The Republican party in Hawaii now,
as always, is prepared to 90 forward
with the solution Of all questions con-
,erning our many phases of life, and Ia
Il he end that these islands may be pro.
tected By its liberal, progressive and
constructive policies, il pledges its can
didates for public Office to the fulhlmeni
of all its promises.
