The September 12 1902 Evening Bulletin discusses party loyalty rhetoric and a push for freedom in political questions. It notes the Territorial Delegate’s limited time for constituency affairs and reports on the Anti-Saloon League naming respondents to liquor policy questions. It mentions John Johnson, a financier aligned with Bryan’s platform, and his impact on Democratic dynamics and support for Bryan’s presidential bid.
Preliminary Ananda report shows a local amateur league as a potential force for baseball in Honolulu. Plans for grounds at McKinley Memorial Park spark debate over charging admission and park purpose, with talks of funding by city and private donors and concern over college trustees sharing grounds with free games.
The proceedings show a crowded meeting where labor concerns and annexation are debated. Speakers defending plantation managers describe housing and food standards, deny mass Japanese labor influx claims, and cite local workers returning home after projects. Bankers’ memorial is read.
Honolulu officials press Congress to legalize and redeem Hawaiian silver for United States coinage. Claus Spreckels Co and major banks warn that without US legal tender parity the islands face coinage disruption, outflow of silver and impaired commerce. They propose a Hawaiian silver coin and silver certificate act to unify currency and preserve circulating value. The letter cites bank deposits, mint history, and needs for a stable medium.
The Boys' Brigade promotes laying out grounds and raises about 2500 dollars to prepare and maintain a field for the league. Preparations for the next season should begin early to avoid delays and secure a location for play.
The Honolulu Merchants Association sends a memorial to Senate committees on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico. It notes annexation shifted the Custom House and internal revenue receipts to the federal government and argues a path in which the territory’s losses become gains for the United States and Hawaii alike.
A memorial urges labor relaxation for Hawaii to expand sugar production, arguing against the China Exclusion Act and praising diversification of labor sources. It calls for continued public works funding, harbor improvements, and quarantine station support, stressing national shipping interests and the need for federal aid to offset losses from plague cleanups.
