The question of whom the delegates
should support for congress then came
up, and II. p Baldwin's name was
presented. Mr.. Baldwin assured the
convention that under no circumstan-
ces could he consider the proposition
of allowing his name to go before the
Territorial Convention. and forcibly

the logical candidate of the Republican
party. Mr.. Parker was unanimously
endorsed as the first choice of the dele
gates elected to the Territorial Con-
ventlon.
The Hama delegation, backed by the
Molokai delegation then tried to rush
through nominations for senators and
representatives to the next Territorial
legislature, but the majority of the
convention thought that 1t would be
wiser to await the action of the COM
mittee on platforms of the Territorial
convention before naming candidates.
Iosepa and Kaleo of Hama fought hard
to push through nomination of candi-
dates to the legislature at once. Judge
Iosepa going so far as to say that 4 the
other delegates were not prepared to

glad to name the candidates for them.
The real Joke involved In his PROPOSE
ton was that he was supposed to have
list of slated candidates in his pocket
at the time. But the. plan miscarried,
and the candidates win not be nominat-
ed until after the return of the dele
gates from Honolulu.-News.

achievement as 1t deserves, yet in one
thing the writer fell short of doing full
