Selects Delegates to be
Voted on Saturday.

There was very harmonious meet
ing OF the Republicans of the Waikiki
and Punahou precinct last night al
the nursery on King street This IS
the First precinct OF the Fourth dis
trict and they endorsed the proposition
of convention being held at Hilo with
rousing unanimous vote. They had
nothing but boxes labeled Pommery
Sec and Mumm's Extra dry for seats,
but that did not deter them from start
ing the campaign in good shape
The secretary and chairman were
both absent, and with the secretary.
George Manson, has persisted the rec
ords of the club, so that all the enroll
ment work will have TO be done over,
Tor which purpose Messrs. Piikoi,
Mossman, Weldon and Helm were ap-
pointed and the chairman, Prof,
Townsend, added by order of the club.
This committee will again canvass all
Waikiki and Punahou and Monoa look
ing for republican converts. The COM
mittee has power to add to its num-
Der and one member offered to bring
in 200 names himself So the chances
of a large vote Saturday are good in
that precinct at least.
The following is the resolution in
troduced by j. D. Avery and adopted
unanimously by the club after an ex-
PLANTATION on the part of Mr. Boyd, a
member OF the Territorial central
committee, as to the advantages OF
holding the next convention at Hilo:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this club that the proposition of hold
ing the next republican Territorial
convention at Hilo is good one"
The republican central committee
has sent out copies of constitution
to be used by the clubs of the various
precincts with such local amendments
as each club may require. This was
adopted after thorough dissection, sec
ton by section, with only one or two
changes not suggested by the central
committee.
Following is the ticket put up by
the meeting to be voted on at the pri-
mary Saturday, the officers to serve
for one year: For president, Prof H.
S. Townsend; for secretary, E. S.
Boyd; for treasurer, T. r. Mossman,
and judges of primary elections, Henry
Davis, Piikoi, and Prof Edmund
Shorey.
The precinct is entitled to three
delegates to the district committee and
four names were put on the ballot,
which is TO be in accordance with the
Australian system, with blanks to
enable voters to vote for others than
the regular candidates if they desire.
They are Walter c. Weldon, William
keiki, j. D. McVeigh and j. H. Boyd.
There being but three nominees for
judges of election, they were declared
judges pro tenn to take charge of the
Saturday election, at which time the
regularly elected judges will be chosen.
The care with which the long con-
stitution and bylaws was gone over
and the transaction OF other routine
business did not deter a single voter
from leaving before the adjournment,
which certainly speaks well for the
quality OF American citizens in Ha-
wall. There was the strongest evil
dence OF desire to see things started
right and not the slightest symptom
OF factionalism appeared during the
meeting 1t was the general sentiment
and often expressed that the republic
cans need harmony and with harmony
will win
