PRINCIPLES ENUNCIATED BY
THE DEMOCRATIC PASTY
The Platform Upon Which It Decided To
Stand or Fall
Adopted in Territorial Convention August si 1934
Reaffirm Allegiance to Democracy
We the Democratic Party of the
Territory of Hawaii in convention
assembled do reaffirm our alleg
iance to the Democracy of the Main
land and to the fundamental prin
ciples ufpon which the Democratic
party wasfbttndcd and which have
been consistently emphasized by
that party ever since
Pledged to Mainland Principles
We pledge our hearty support to
flieJplatjformof principles adopted
by the St Louis Convention and to
the National standard bearers of
the party in the coming campaign
Judge Alton B Parker and Henry
G Davis
Centralization of Power
In dealing with Territorial mat
ters we first and foremost enter our
protest egainst the centralization of
power in the Executive branch of
the Territorial government and the
means adopted to secure that end
The executive is an appointive one
in this Territory and not responsi
ble to the electorate and is already
clothed with inordinate powers un
der the Organic Act
Exaction of Resignations
Not content with this however
it seeks to own andcontrol the Leg-
vJEjlhttire dominating the primaries
Willi office Jioldcrs and licnchmen
for that purpose Though profess
ing a desire for clean government
it has by the exaction of undated
resignations from the heads of all
Departments
The refusing of government em
ployment to the citizens and tax
payers of the Territory unless they
sign a pledge of fealty to the Re
publican Party
The forced levjes of assessments
from -office holdors for political pur
poses creating fear of dismissal
from office for supposed disloyalty
to the Executive and its henchmen
Hunting clown and defeating Re
publican candidates for office whose
independence might be a bar to the
consummation of its ambitions
Established graft and machine
methods never before attempted in
the history oPthesc Islands
All of which wc maintain is cal
eulated to undermine political inde
pendence and the right to open cri
ticism so necessary to maintain
honest government
Control of Legislation
We charge that the manifest de
sire of the Executive Department
of the Territorial government to
dominate the Legislature is particu
larly unfortunate as it means be
fore long the elimination pf that
body of intelligent independent and
f it minded lcgislatofs who have
ahvvs been found in the legisla
tive assemblies of these Islands in
the past and who have done so
much to preserve good government
the Executive
branches of the
and Legislative
government
Reduction of Salaries
We declare against the method
and means used recently by the Ex
ecutive of the Territory to re adjust
its finances and cut down its ex
penditures
Such retrenchment was brought
about by cutting down the salaries
of employees beyond the living
point and by dismissing other em
ployees to the detriment of the
public service wljcreas
Tax Incomes of the Wealthy
We believe and declare that the
depleted condition of the Territorial
Treasury would have been more
justly met by taxation upon wealth
and in this connection we believe
and declare that an increase in the
rate of the income tax would have
been more fair and courageous and
more democratic than the method
adopted
In connection with the retrench
ment policy in question we partial-
i 1 r
lany concicuni inc discrimination
exercised against the non voting
employees of the government in the
cutting of salaries
National Legislation Neglected
We denounce the policy of the
Republican party in the National
Congress whereby private Ilawaijan
legislation was submitted in com
mittee and received attention in ad
vance of pressing public matter
with the result that after the pass
age of private bills the remaining
Hawaiian measures were absolutely
neglected and refused further con
sideration during this session of
Congress to the detriment and
againstthe interests of rthc entire
Territory
To Apply American Land Laws
We declare the policy of the Re
publican parly in this Territory
whereby large areas of land and
valuable water rights are still being
alienated from the public domain
for the sole use and benefit of cor
porations or persons already pos
sessed of large tracts of land and
privileges a positive menace to the
upbuilding of an imtrammeled
electorate in these Islands and
pledge our delegate to Congress to
secure local application of the spir
it of American laud laws prefer
ence being given the landless elec
torate in our Territory in any divis
ion of the public domain
The Delegate pledged
We further pledge our delegate
to Congress to keep constant vigil
ance over matters affecting the Ter
ritory
Untiring effort to seeure liberal
appropriations for public improve
ments throughout the Territory
