FIFTH DISTRICT.
In the Fifth District there was long
preliminary caucus over the various
matters to come up. The one of most
, Importance was the Kalihi muddle, the
precinct in which the ballot box was
| stuffed. Delegates to the Territorial
convention We're discussed and a list
made out. This list was adopted 50
that the passage of the names in open
convention was merely a matter OF
/ form.
Those present were: J. l.. Kaulukou
Edwin Farmer Frank Archer, C. T.
Iaukea, Frank Pahia, w. c. Achi and
j. A. Hughes. Mr.. Kalukou was elect
ed chairman, and Mr.. Farmer, secre-
| tary.
Mr.. Achi was appointed a committee
on credentials, and reported all in good
| form. He referred to the Kalihi affair
and to the failure of the election at
! Waianae on account of a tie vote.
Mr.. Achi then introduced the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted
Resolved, That the District convention
of the Fifth District of the Territory
or. IInt
| that the judges, any officer or any per-
son who has in their possession the
votes cast by the voters, and the list
of voters of the seventh precinct, Fifth
District, of the Republican party, tC
produce before this convention votes OF
said precinct cast on May 49, 1900"
In seconding the motion Colonel Tau.
kea said that he stood for purity in al
political methods, and that the Repub
lican party could not be too careful II
ferreting out all details in such cases
1t was very hard as the matter stood
to get natives to join the party, and i
such matters as the Kalihi affair wert
not properly adjusted, it would be ever
harder in future. He believed that /
the person guilty of stuffing the Kalih
box could be located he should be eX
PEELED from the party if such was in tn,
party's power. ,.1.
Frank Pahia was appointed a com
mittee of one to get the votes and re
port back at 1890 o'clock. In appoint
ing him chairman, Kaulukou added
jokingly that Pahia was a deputy sher
iff and probably knew better how t
J get the ballots than anyone else in tn
meeting. Later in the morning a writ
ten demand on the central COMMITTEES
for the votes was placed in Pahia'
hands. This was signed by Chairman
Kaulukou and Secretary Farmer.
Mr.. Achi offered another resolution
providing that in case the delegate t,
the Philadelphia convention was no
able to pay his expenses the party
should pay them. He said that th'
convention was not sure a rich mai
would be elected. At any rate, the ar
rangement proposed in the resolution
would bring it within the province o
the poor man to aspire to the office. Fl
thought the idea would be especial!
pleasing to the natives.
Mr.. Iaukea thought the matter wa
one for the Territorial convention t.
handle. Mr., Hughes agreed with him
The resolution was finally passed as tn
sense of the meeting, and will go to tn
Territorial convention in that way.
Mr.. Farmer moved that the conven
ton proceed to the election of delegate

one for each precinct first This wa
