said, and get the machinery Of the par.
~ In fun motion. Some one suggested
that the convention should be held In
the Orpheum Thoater II there was no

Col. C9rnwcll STATED that on Maui the
districts were to hold district conventions

Clanahan questioned the Colonel as 10
v hether he was certain that on Maui and
on Hawaii they had really held district
conventions. The Colonel said he was.
Col Cornwell also stated that on Tues
day next he would leave for Maui TO
stump the Island for Democracy Moth
ing would hinder him from going then.
and II need be he would leave his proxy
In order to carry out his intention.
The platform OF the Democratic party
OF Hawaii was discussed. or rather the
lack Of one. Some mcmbers suggested
that they should commence its construc-
tion at once. The other parties In the
field were already provided with plat
forms Cornwell stated that platform
should he made Immediately so ms to let
the people know what the Democratic par
ty stood for and wanted.
Fusion was then discussed. Kinney
velt on II. lie hnd talked with four or
1--WE Republicans about It and the plan
OF tho Advertiser" Before he finished.
tho letter Of dcclinniion from Pua was
taken UP as the order OF business for the
evening.

rua ~ his lotter Of declination' From
what Wise told mo tho way the case was
ut present. Pua would havc to sign sor''o-
ling with the Independents or be kicked
out.
"wise assented to this action. Wise Is
in very close touch with Pua. Now as re-
CARDS Tesla Naval and qua. all three
we're little reluctant to going on the
Democratic ticket. Damon has accepted
our nomination, and has sent letter to
that effect
at is a very delicate situation Just now
as to what our relations will be with the
Independents" said Mr.. Kinney in eau
tious voice. II think It would be very
unwise at this juncture for us TO kick
Pua off the ticket. We must gradually
and by persuasion get the Independents
to endorse all our ticket"
The question OF headquarters was next
brought up. They wanted to get rooms
In a central portion OF the city where the
braves" could drop in at any time and
get campaign cigar and leave sugges-
lions, etc. A clerk will be supplied there
to care for the campaign documents. etc.
Then came an interesting bit of politi-
cal gossip. The inside story OF how Pua
came on the ticket and how Tommy"
Lucas did not get n place, was told. There
was a rap!d-iire discussion OF the reasons
for the action taken on the two men. and
also of the placing Of c. w. Booth on the
ticket.
Colburn, who was to have been the
nominator of Tommy Lucas, waxed
wroth and told tale OF grievance. He
alluded to the fact that he had not been
'let on the inside" OF the decision to
throw Tommy Lucas out OF the ticket.
although his name had been given In the
committee meeting prior to the conven-
tion Monday evening.
AS for the name of Pua II was suggest
el at this iuncture that the committee
should hold their decision In allegiance for
awhile and not act on II at once. KIN
nov reiterated that 1t would be extremely
unwise to do anything with 1t at present.
According to American politics, said he.
a man standing rs Pua stood with refer
cree to the Democratic ticket, would bc
kicked out OF every party. But In Ha-
