cinct, Molokai.

The meeting then proceeded to the
election of delegates to the Honolulu
of the 3Oth. The following
were chosen:
Molokai-D. II. Kahaulelio, ]. II.
Mahoe, Joel Nakaleka.
Lahaina-R. c. Searle, M. Mccain.

gle, w. o. Aiken, E. B. Carley, A. f.

The apportionment of delegates was
made according to the number of votes
cast in each precinct at the last regular
election. According to this principle,
Molokai was entitled to but one dele
gate-but inasmuch as d. II. KahAu
lelio declared that Republican club
had been recently formed there with
an enrolment of $50 Hawaiian citizens
(all natives); the Hama and Lahaina
each granted Moiokai
one delegate from the number appor-
toned to their districts.
During the convention there was no
attempt at campaign oratory, and no
one present seemed to have ANY ak to
grind"
Everything was conducted in sim
pie, business-like manner rather for
eign to ordinary politics. 1t is to be
hoped that all future political conven-
lions will act as simply and as har-
