Representation in Congress
We pledge the Republican party, through it's Delegate
to petition Congress for an amendment whereby our rep
resentation in Congress shall be increased. The Territory
I of Hawaii, in wealth, production and Americanism, rivals
many of the mainland states, and we believe that upon a
proper showing, Congress will give us a representation
in conformity with our rights, and in this particular the
effort to persuade the Congress OF the United States to
pass a law allowing our Delegate or Delegates the right
to vote on all questions coming before Congress.
Federal Aid
Realizing the strategic and exposed position of the Ha
waian Islands as an outpost and first line of defense fol-
the Pacific Coast of the United States, and realizing fur
Their the extreme Importance of furnishing the armed
forces with every facility for rendering the defense Of
these islands of the greatest degree OF efficiency, the he
publican Party pledges its representatives to work for al
amendment to the present Federal Good Road Acts, anC
to urge recognition of this Territory in any future Fedora
Road Acts so that their provisions may be applied to the
Territory of Hawaii the same as they have or may be il
the future, applied to the states of the Continental United
Safes, and further in view Of the isolation of this Territor!
from bases of reinforcement and supply, it is necessaT!
that we maintain a strong military and naval force TO
the defense of the islands and for the protection of tn,
Pacific Coast. The Republican Party, pledges its Officers
to favor the maintenance of an adequate, well drilled anC
administered NaNtional Guard Of Hawaii, and in view o
the necessity for maintaining a larger force of citizel
soldiers than is required in most states, and the difficulties
of administration and maintenance in these scattered is
lands, We urge upon Congress, financial aid which viii
assist the Territory in maintaining an adequate and eff
cient National Guard.
Hawaiis public school problems are of vital importnce
not only to Hawaii, but to the nation. Because of the ma
tuHe of her population and her geographical situation, Ha
y walls educational program Is Of national significance
waits educational program is of national significance
This Tel tory has been omitted from many large Fedora
appropriation bills relating to education.
We urger that this Territory be given her just proportio
of all Federal appropriations for education. We uge tina
Hawaii be no longer overlooked or forgotten in nationa
programs of educatinal expenditure. We urge this, no
as a benefaction to Hawaii, but as her just due as an il
tegTal part of the United States.
We pledge our Delegate to urge the inclusion of Hawa
in all general legislation passed by Congress for the var
GUS states where there is no adequate reason for its omii
sion.
We pledge our Delegate to urge that Congress prohibi
the employment of aliens on federal work.
We urge that the Organic Act be amended so as to ba
from the privilege Of voting all citizens who acknowledg
allegiance TO any foreign government,
