The Proposed Harmony
Conference.
ABOUT PAUL |SENDERG
Independent Leader on Party Plans
Carter for Chairman of Re-
publican Convention.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

tees of the majority and minority fac
tions of the Fourth District has not yet
been held. The time for holding the
meeting was left to Mr.. ]. B. Anterior,
member of the minority committee.
Yesterday AFTERNOON he stated that the
meeting would be held sometime to-
day, probably this morning. No over
lures or concessions have as yet been
made by the minority, or any prefer
ence for new delegates manifested.
+ II have heard nothing from the ma
jorty side as yet" said Mr.. Atherton
yesterday. $50 far l have nothing to
propose. Whatever propositions are
made must come from the other side.
Just what will be the outcome of the
meeting / am unable to say as l have
not talked directly upon the matter
with any one of Them
From what is heard on the street
there Is good reason to believe that
concessions will have to come entirely
from those who represent what is called
the majority faction. For reasons
which have become well-known to the
Republican leaders 1t is felt that the
majority must make sacrifice to them.
PAUL IsENBERG'S CANDIDACY.
The prominence to which Paul Isen-
berg rose in a single night, or in other
words went to sleep on Monday night
to find himself famous yesterday morn
ing was the political talk of the town.
A leading business man in speaking Of
Mr.. Isenberg's candidacy for the Con-
Ureoeinna1 hf11af caiI ha n
see him aligned with Sam Parker and
Bob" Wilcox in a three cornered fight
for the same office. IT will say this
that had Paul Isenberg come out for
the Legislative Senate / am sure he
would be elected. He has made his
mark in the Legislature before and is
quite popular. But what started his
ambition for the Congressional race l
am at a loss to understand.
"As to his chances for obtaining a
following will say that am afraid he
will not be able to count on the native
votes of the Democratic party. They
will go for Parker or for Wilcox. Isen-
berg can be reasonably certain Of fol-
lowing of natives on Kauai, and some
from Oahu, but I doubt whether Ha-
wall or Maui will help him out much.
His candidacy will do this much as
I have figured 1t out: 1t will make
split in the Democratic party in favor
of the two parties in the field, with the
chances that the greater number will
vote for Parker, and possibly a few of
them will flop to Wilcox. On the other
hand l feel certain that in the general
mix-up many of the native leaders VIII
come out for Parker. AS for Wilcox 1t |
is fight for Wilcox, without his repre-
senting any party whatsoever. 1t might |
he properly styled the Wilcox Party |
Wilcox is out for himself and no one |
else.
Suppose he goes to Congress he will |
be nothing more or less than a tool in
Caesar Celso Moreno's hands. The lat
ter is an Italian renegade with a good
deal of political cunning, and no doubt
would be able to pull Wilcox around to
suit himself. Wilcox I assert, repre-
sent no party, or faction, except Will
cox himself, and he has worked on the
feelings Of the natives by stirring up
an anti-haole cry"
KAUATS POLITICAL PARTY.
A new political party has made It's
appearance in the local campaign.
Some politicians of the Island of Kauai
nave come to the conclusion that they
neither want the Republican, Demo-
rat or Independent parties. They have
'isen above them all and launched the
Citizens Home Rule Party. This is
to fill an aching void for the
kauaIans, who cannot bring them
selves to affiliate with any of the par
les now in vogue
The Citizens movement has culmln-
lted in call being issued for COM
bination mass meeting to be held on
september 26, in which Republicans,
Democrats and Independents are eX-
pected to fraterniZe and agree on their
for election in November.
The new party has taken the initia-
i've in preparing its slate. On the slate
