It did not want to antagonize the Murray Andrews
element. How grateful the Murray forces were for
this thoughtful consideration shown the close
of the convention when good Oahu candidates
for the central conlmttee and executive committee
were knitted with scientific precision.
The platform contains many good plaIks. But
they are not primarily Republican panks. The Demo
cratic party can and probably will have virtually all
tof them in its platform.
The Star-Bulletin is disappointed in the platform
because has side-stepped the dominant issue of Wig
orous efficient. straightforward progressive local self
government because it has side-stepped, in other
leases definite, clncfing declarations territorial
government:
The program of harmony, so insstently carried
along has gained nothing tangible for progressive
Republicanism. Some of the very men who led the
fight for progressive planks were knitted when it came
to filing the executive committee others, who saw
the knife under the coat wisely declined to rum.
With compromise and platitude and side-steppug

It will be difficult to get 6rst-cass men to r,n on
this platform if the platform typifes the spirit IN

And yet there was never more need for rst-cass men

of reactonary control of local government calls for
progressives of fighting blood TO bestH themselves.
s 1t is more and mere evident that the biggest
political problems Honolulu has to face come in the

Taking up our foreign relations that
have been called into emphatic promi-

speaker declared that I'VE have enter

policy Of neutrality. he argued, is as
truly American as the American flag.
For 200 years neutrality was a theory;
America made it a fact. at took

Chairman Glynn concluded with
praise for President Wilson, who, he
said. has measured up to the best ira.
1itions Of n great office.
The Man Who Has Made Democracy
Proud.
HE has been wise with a wisdom
that is stepped in the traditions Of his
country, with a wisdom that has been
disciplined by training and broadened
by instruction.
HE has been firm with the firmness
that proceeds from deep conviction.
with the firmness that is grounded in
duty we'll defined.
HE has been patient with the pa-
tience which believes and trusts that
truth crushed to earth will rise again.
with the patience that can endure and
wait, watch and pray, for the certain
vindication Of justice, humanity and
| right.
He has been patriotic with a pa
triotism that has never wavered, pa
triotism that is as pure and strong as
the faith that moved the fathers when
they made our country free.
And when the history of these days
comes to be written and the children
Of tomorrow read their nations story.
when time shall have dispelled all mis-.
conception and the years shall have
rendered their impartial verdict one
name will shine In golden splendor
upon the page that is blackened with
the tale of Europe's war. one name
will represent the triumph Of Ameri-
! can principles over the hosts Of dark
ness and Of death.
THAT name will be the name of the
great president who has made Democ-
racy proud that he is a Democrat and
made Americans proud that he is an
| American.
1T will be the name of the stntes-
man who has kept his country true to
its faith In a time that tried mems

the scholar who has championed the
cause Of American freedom wherever
be found 1t oppressed: the name Of the
patriot who has implanted his coun-
