Republicans Caucus on Hawaii Treaty Abrogation
Washington June 12 Republican Senators held a morning caucus in the Senate marble room to discuss abrogating the reciprocity treaty with Hawaii. Senators Perkins and Nelson favored abrogation while Davis and Frye opposed. Thurston argued the treaty grants $9,000,000 yearly to the Hawaiian Sugar Trust and favored annexation with naval gain, while Davis urged pacific policy as negotiations for annexation proceed. The debate touched on US sovereignty, race provisions, and debt payments, ending with a plan to refer proposals to the finance committee for a future caucus vote.
