tfon and the Justice OF our claims.
Within a very short time there will |
be an influential delegation visit Ha. |
wall, at least two OF them are presi |
Dental possibilities. II every member |
OF the house will constitute himself a |
committee OF one to present Ouri
claims on this subject, we viii have
made a great stride. Many OF thel
gentlemen who are to visit as are |
fully acquainted with the conditions |
surrounding other territories at the |
time OF their admission as states. AS
shall endeayor in moment or two l
to show. the conditions In Hawaii are |
at least as favorable for statehood |
as were those OF many or the terrific |
ries which we're admitted as states.
Il take II that the members OF Con.
gress who are shortly to visit here |
come in a receptive mood. / know /
from perlIsai Of the Debates in Con. \
gress, that Congress itself feels kindly 1
towards Hawaii Suggestions made by !
us will undoubtedly receive respectful
attention, and facts presented by US |
will be given due consideration. Let l
us avail ourselves of the opportunity |
afforded to make statehood for Ha-
waii a subject of serious consideration |
by Congress.
In conclusion, fellow-members of |
the cause, may / say that we can I
adopt this resolution without fear that |
our position can be successfully at |
tackled, our motives unfavofably criti. |
eized, or our logic answered. Perhaps
our fight may be a long one, but 1t 4
will inevitably end in success. And
when We are finally permitted to
speak Of the state, OF Hawaii we |
shall use, the words with a just pride, |
confident that they shah spell to the
American people, and to the world, a |
state OF the United States In every
sense of the word; shall picture a
people eager, ambitious and able to
maintain such state: shall mean that ]
in the Paradise of the Pacific exists
that love Of republican form of gov
eminent, that glorious, militant spirit
of patriotism. which have made of the
United States of America the foremost
of the nations of the earth
