OF A. L. y. :AIKlnSOn, chairman,
George Kane. william Robinson.
David Kepano, j. X. Kuapahi. Kalama-
opio, Sol II. Kaaiai and NJ K. Ka-
auaana, promulgated platform which
was quickly adopted, the platform ex-
pressing the spirit OF the entire con.
vention, that of harmony between the
Republicans and the Bull Moosers
w. r. harrington and r. B. West
colt were among those who made brief
addresses to the convention. Mr.. Far
rington declared that his politics are
those of efficient and honest govern
ment and that the last municipal adj
ministration had not been delivering
IL to the satisfaction of the people.
He said the Progressive party would
live just as long as II is useful Mr..
Westcott dwelt on the necessity of
broad-gauge political activities in pub
lie affairs.
The principal business of the con-
vention besides the election of dele
gate to the national convention was
the adoption of a platform or "declar-
alton of faith" Its principal para
graphs are.
I'VE believe that the Progressive
party Of America has justified its or
ganization. II is nationwide move
ment on nonsectional lines and is TN
fettered by obligations or conflicting
interests.
I'VE believe that only through the
Progressive party can we obtain the
legislation which shall favor honest
business and yet control modern BUSH
ness so as TO ensure that 1t shall be
an instrument used in the interest of
the whole people; legislation which
shall promote the efficiency of our To-
cal government to the end that the
people shall have one hundred cents
of return for every dollar of expendi-
ture; legislation which shall promote
the well-being Of the honest wage
worker, the professional man and the
business man alike, but which shall at
the same time strike In efficient fash
ion at the roots of privilege and dis
honesty In the world of industry no
less than in the world of politics. We
believe in and admire little and big
business, the bigger the better.
I'VE believe In policy of ample
and thorough preparedness, to the end
that Americans of whatever creed
may be protected in their rights the
world over, and that such<a policy
should be adopted as the best way
in which to maintain honorable peace
with all the world, to avoid war, and
to uphold or national honor"
