REPUBLICANS ORGANIZED ON HAWAII

by w. S. Wise, who stated that he knew
a slate had been prepared by some San
Francisco politicians and men who meet
in back rooms for the purpose OIL decid-
ing who shall be elected to this or that
office. Il want clean politics" said Mr..
Wise, but | do not consider this clean.
1t would not be much trouble for me to
draw from my pocket printed slip con-
tanning the names of seven men who
are to be voted for tonight. (Cries:
Pull it out,"). | oppose this sort OF
business, gentlemen, and l say to you
that while there is not one whose name
is on the list that | do not favor, | say
also that l do not wish to have such
things showed down my throat. l never
heard of such proceedings, and | enter
a protest"
Ben Napthaly arose to a point of or
der and remarked that the speaker had
alluded in an insulting manner to some
of the gentlemen present, and he would
insist upon his reading the names on
the ticket and furnishing the people
present with the name of the man who
gave him the ticket. He (Napthaly)
had heard of little caucus at Waiakea
in which another slate was being made
peared on that one"
Mr. Wise attempted to answer, but
Napthaly would not yield. Mr.. Cruzan
accused the chairman of showing par
TALLY, and this was resented by Mr..
Loebenstein. who remarked that while
one speaker had the floor another could
not address the assembly.

a lion. Mr.. Wise had picked up the
warm end of proposition. There were
a number of seconds to the Napthaly
motion. Mr. McStOcker rose to a ques-
ton of privilege, and said:
This slate is a surprise to me- for

| came here simply because l am inter
ested in the Republican party. Since
my friends have chosen me, l now de-
clare myself TO be a candidate for dele

ed and carried. On the vote taken as
to whether the secretary should cast
the ballot for the seven names in ques-
ton, GA voted in The affirmative and %

be reconsidered and twenty-one names
