Stewards speech caugnt the meeting.
Many cheers were given him. A. V.
Gear explained what he thought Stew
art meant TO say. Gear said the peo-
pie OF the other Islands might obJec.
to having their plans settled for them
For Oahu, he thought, the scheme
might be feasible. lie said Andrews
amendment was also faulty. Ii would
Imply too much de.ay in getting the
other Islands residents in line.
Let us organize as quickly as pos
sible," said Gear, 'and let everyone in
the party have a say. Primaries is
the way we know of. We should or
ganize early so as to get everyone tC
come out for or against the parry and
show their coiors. We should appoint
a committee to take charge OF mat
ters."
| Stewart defended his substitute
against Gears attack. Some roughs in
a corner of the hall made a disturb
ance during his remarks. Lewis and
Turk and that ilk did not like what
was going on. They wanted more
noise, and they made it with their feet
Stewards amendment was put by
Chairman Brown. A great shout Of
ayes and noes arose. Brown said the
noes had it. Stewart called for "divi-
sion."
George r. Carter said he was one Of
| the dozen hesitating Republicans
| spoken of. But he wanted to know
who and what the Republican party
was. He wanted no one-man power
but for all to have voice. A. s. Hum
| phreys rose to a point of order and
was recognized by the chairman. Hum
| phreys said debate on the question had
closed and standing division on Stew.
arts substitute should be had. Carter
suggested rights and "lefts." He
wanted all for the substitute to 20 to
one side of the hall and those contrary
minded on the other Chairman Brown
said a standing vote had been called
| for and should be given. Three
! fourths of the audience was already
on their feet as they had no seats, but
they raised hats and canes in a vocif-
erous AYE" The noes" were suller
and few. The victory was won without
| half a struggle. T. McCants Stewart
had proved himself as clever a states
man as one might wish for, and there
was broad grin on the composite face
of the people.
A great many went home while the
| others buckled down to the labor Of
! choosing district representatives IN
che manner outlined by Stewards sub
stitute. Each district was called anC

During the nominations many names

in the district mentioned or who had
not allied themselves with the Repub-
lican Party When G. b. Wilson was
proposed, S. NJ. Ballou said that he had
heard from many sources that Wilson
was a Democrat. Wilson was not pres
