The above ticket was nominated last
night by the Republicans of Hawaii In
convention at the Drill Shed. The Sen
ators are to represent the Third Sena-
toriaI District which includes the entire
Island of Oahu and were chosen by the
entire Oahu delegation. The Represen-
tatives are from the Fourth and Fifth
Representative Districts which COM
pose all of Oahu and were selected from
each District by separate conventions.
The joint convention had a little
squabblIng at the commencement of its
meeting. Members of the Fifth Dis
trict declared they were ready to pro-
coed at once to the business of nomln-
ating Senators. The Fourth District
on the other hand wanted a caucus of
the two committees to prepare their
candidates. The Fifth objected to the
Fourth going into caucus. stating that
1t had taken time by the forelock and
made up its mind as to whom 1t wished
to put before the Joint session. The
Fourth District finally prevailed and
both went into caucus in separate
rooms.
Evidently the Fifth was not as well
prepared as announced in the open SEES
sion. for over the partitions and
through the many cracks in the walls
of the Drill Shed came the sound of
speechmaking and argument.

apportionment for the candidates az

mlttee to the convention as whole as

and short terms-Which was done by
