office by the Board of Supervisors or the Territorial Government dur
ing the term for which he is elected.
6. Lahainaluna School. Recognizing the great need of Hawaiian
boys for a school where they may leant trades suitable to their natural
tastes and inherent abilities, we recommend to our delegation to the
Legislature that it work for the change of Lahainaluna School into a
legular trade school to be governed entirely by a committee of three of
whom the local commissioner of the Board of Education shall be a
member, the chairman of the Board of Supervisors shall be a member,
.md the Governor to appoint a third upon recommendation by the two
members first mentioned, and the school to be financed by direct ap
propriation from the Legislature. i

ui the Territory.
9. Public Improvements. We ask our Delegation to work for the
iberal appropriations for the completion of the belt road through Ko
'au, Maui, a wharf at Lahaina and other needed improvements.
"We advocate an economical, efficient and capable handling of all
County funds and pledge the candidates at the coming County Election
to support the following local measures:
' First: The establishment of Parks, Play Grounds, and places of
i'est and Recreation in the Districts of this County.
Second: Better medical service for the indigent sick throughout the
Jounty.
Third: Liberal appropriations for the Kula Sanitarium.

''LTughbut the County so that an ample supply of pure water for
'jc.Tiestic purpores shall at all times be available to all citizens in our
Cillers of population ,at the lowest cost conforming to good business
Tinciples.
"Proud of the history made by the Republican Party, nationally,
.rritorially and locally, and of its many achievements, we now bind
ourselves to the specific future performance of every plank made in
and the Territorial platform; submitted as a guarantee of perform
ance rather than a confession of faith; and in the accomplishment of
ihese ends, we earnestly ask the support of every good citizen irrespective
of past political affiliations.
"The Republican Party pledged themselves at the Republican Con
vention held in Wailuku, September 28th, 1910, to support the above
platform, and all the Republican Territorial and County Candidates have
.-specially pledged themselves to support it."
