The Committee of Safety was the "Cover Name" for the group that proposed the annexation of Hawaii and while in theory not a member, it was led and directed by the Publisher of the Honolulu Advertiser, Lorrin A. Thurston. Other principals involved in the overthrow of the Monarchy were Henry Ernest Cooper, Sr., who was the elected head of the 13 member Committee of Safety, Sanford B. Dole who became the first President of the Republic of Hawaii, and John L. Stevens who was the US Minister to the Kingdom of Hawaii.
