The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-09-26

The above ticket was nominated last
night by the Republicans of Hawaii in
convention at the Drill Shed. The Sen
ators are to represent the Third Sena-
torial District which includes the entire
Island of Oahu and were chosen by the
entire Oahu delegation. The Represen-
tatives are from the Fourth and Fifth
Representative Districts which com
pose all of Oahu and were selected from
each District by separate conventions.
\ The joint convention had little
squabbling at the commencement of its
meeting. Members of the Fifth Dis
trict declared they were ready to pro-
ceed at once to the business of nomin-
ating Senators. The Fourth District
on the other hand wanted caucus of
the two committees to prepare their
candidates. The Fifth objected to the
Fourth going into caucus, stating that
, it had taken time by the forelock and
/ made up its mind as to whom it wished
to put before the joint session. The
Fourth District finally prevailed and
: both went into caucus in separate
rooms.
t Evidently the Fifth was not as well
s prepared as announced in the open ses-
$ sion, for over the partitions and
y through the many cracks iii the walls
of the Drill Shed came the sound of
q speechmaking and argument.
