Convention 60 he Held.


Central Committee of the Anne
ricsn Union party take exceptions
to editorial statements made in a
morning paper concerning the
coming election and strenuously
deny that there is a singular lack
of interest in the coming election
for members Of the House of Re
representatives.. On the contrary
meetings of the Central Commit
tee concerning the election were
held before w. N. Armstrong re-
turned from Washington as we'll
as since. Another meeting of the
committee is to be held on Friday
evening at which it is very pro-
baole call for primaries to elect
dele gales to the convention TO
nominate six candidates for this
island will be ordered.
1t may be stated on informa.
ton gained from o member of
the committee, who is highly in
dignant over what he considers
Unjust structures on the committee
made in the morning paper, that
the personnel OF Oshu's represent
tation in the lower house of the
coming Legislature is receiving
especial attention ut the hands of
the committee, who are preparing
list of suitable persons for pre-
sentation to the convention with
the committees endorsement.
In the last election Nuuanu
street was the dividing line of the
island, three members being appor-
toned to the territory on either
side of that street. 1t is as yet
undetermined whether this appor-
tionment will be adhered to or
not this year, but most likely not.
Among the many names already
under consideration by the com.
mittee as suitable candidates, that
OF A. Il. M. Robertson heads the
list. MIR. Robertson's services in
the last Legislature were SO
eminent and gratifying to his
constituents that every effort has
been made to induce him to al.
low his name to be used again.
The BULLETIN is happy to state
that Mr.. Robertson has consented
to be a candidate and it COOS
without saying that his election
il assured.
Representative W. @. Winston
has also consented to run for re-
election. Mr.. Winston was the
father of the present income tax
law and is a safe conservative
business man.
Speaker ID. l.. Naone will prob
ably be renominated and elected.
He filled the speakers chair so
acceptably in the last Legislature
that in case OF his re election he
would probably be again selected
as presiding officer.
The only other candidate of
native blood who has so far
come to the front is w. G. Achi,
who is particularly anxious to be
in the next Legislature. 1t is not
known whether Mr.. Achi will
suomi mas elaine 10 the conven-
ton or run as an Independent
candidate.
Mr.. A. j. Campbell of Camp
bell & Robinson is mentioned as
most likely to be selected to rep
resent Eva district and the fruit
industry.
The member of the committee
before referred to said this
morning that it was the desire of
the Central Committee to present
to the convention only the names
of those of proved executive and
business ability. Said he: "The ,
claim was made at the last Legis-
lature and with good reason that
the Senate was delayed and ham
pered by the slowness of the
lower house. There is no reason
with the material at our command
why the House of Representatives
should not be the equal of the
Senate in executive ability, legal
knowledge and business tact, and
it will not be the fault of the
