Queer was not present.
The order of the day was the cleo
ton to fill the vacancy in the Advis-
DRY Council.
Mr.. Allen said, when he nominated
Mark Robinson, he had not consulted
the latter. He had since requested the
withdrawal of his name.
The President stated that he had
letter from Mr.. Wilhelm, withdraw
ing his name.
There being only one name remain
ing, the President stated that either
the name itself or the words "yes' or
''no' might be written on the ballot.
Seventeen votes were cast. Mr..
Smith received six, two ballots were
blank and nine were in the negative.
Minister Damon said the members
of the American League had been
great friends of the Government from
the start and would be to the finish.
The League was composed of the bone
and sinew of the country-mechanics
small. shopkeepers and some small
farmers. They had frequently yielded
their views. Annexation was what
we wanted. We are face to face today,
not with the American League, but
the people. These men represented
the people. They had come to the
front Jan. IL, 1898, and they had come
to stay. This was their first request
and it had been denied. 1t was very
essential we should recognize that the
people must be heard. If Hawaii was
to be success in the future, there must
be cooperation with the people. He
felt that the movement would succeed
because it had the people with it. If
we were going to shut out the people
because they are not as good or as rich
as we are, it would be serious mat
ter. EMr. Tenney-No one is saying
SOL That is the way it will be con-
no right to construe it so. The meet
ing at the drill shed had been packed
to some extent, but it was enthusiast
tic and from the people. He hoped
some one would move a reconsidera-
ton.
The Attorney General said there
was no election, and there could be
new nominations to be voted on
either now or later.
The President held that nomina-
tons were in order.
Mr.. Emmeluth nominated Mr.. L.
Sorenson.
Vice President Wilder said he would
move that nominations be not closed
today. No one was reader than him
self to listen to outside recommends
tions. His only objection to Mr..
Smith was the way he came before
the Council. He had to take secret
and binding oath before he could be
made the candidate. Other and per-
haps better men had refused to take
it. They could wait week and re-
ceive recommendations from the
League and others.
Mr.. Damon stated that he had asked
Mr.. d. B. Smith whether he was I'M
der any secret oath and Mr.. Smith
had told him no.
Mr.. Tenney said Mr.. Smith had
told him that he had had to take such
an oath and that the oath was incon-
sistent with that which he would |
have to take to the Council.
President Dole said Mr.. Murray had
informed him that d. B. Smith was
no longer under. any oath, and that |
his general oath as q member of the |
League would be in no way inconsist-
ent with his duties as Councilman.
Mr.. Emmeluth had always contend
ed that the Councils should not
yield to outside dictation, and that
when it came to follow such sugges-
tions it should give an opportunity to
UdiiO0 W an itS SuppolICio. hat
would be fair dealing. He believed
the Government should appeal to an
election.
Mr.. G.. Brown said the committee
had an act for constitutional con-
vention under consideration. Until
the constitution was promulgated,
while the various organizations had
the right to make suggestions, they
did not have the right to dictate. 1t
hn IL TO oh u
sons as they might recommend, but
the manner of Mr.. Smiths nominal
ton was the objection. Otherwise he
would be happy to meet Mr.. Smith i'll
this Council.
Mr.. Young seconded the motion of
Mr. Wilder. No one in the Council
had any objection to the American
