The delegates elected at the recent
precinct primaries met in convention
in the American League headquarters
last night for the purpose of electing
| six candidates for election as Repre-

of very much excitement were about

the ceiling to be pulled, and no one
seemed to be anxious to pull at an i'm
aginary wire. Then the buttonholes
were all covered by white ribbons, dis
tributed by Tim Murray, SO, of course,
they could not be used. The ribbons
had printed in black letters upon them
the following: oahu A. u. P Con-
