lean party at the Chamber of Com
narce. Twenty-Five members answer
ed the roll-call. The minutes OF the
asst meeting were approved. A. V.
scar read the report of the committee
appointed TO revise the figures OF the
circular letter issued by the central
committee, which showed that the sub
committee had obtained the correct
statistics of the last election and had
revised the figures of the original draft
of the circular. They had sent out the
circular and call to the other islands.
The report was adopted.
1t was ordered that all calls and cir
culars issued by the Republican party
re published in English Portuguese
and Hawaiian.
The subcommittee on primary or
| ganiZation made It's report.
| George X. Carter said that in justice
70 an opponent who had been quoted
N the report Of the meeting as having
said that he believed nominees OF the
| party should be voted for whether
corrupt or not" he wished to say that
ne had understood him to say that we
should vote for these nominees even ii
| charged with corruption"
The report of the subcommittee on
| primary organization was then read
section by section. There was discus
| sion as TO the time allowed for enroll
ment of voters, who would be permit
| Led to vote at the primaries. A. G. ~
Robertson thought they should be al
owed to enroll up to the time of the
closing of the polls.
George II. Carter opposed this plan
He wanted the rolls opened on May
ii and closed at p. m. on May I9
This, he said, would allow challenging
OF voters who were not qualified to
vote in particular precinct. With the
rolls open for registration through the
actual voting hours, he believed fraud
was made easy. "Repeaters" might |
register and vote in several precincts |
Others differed with this idea. Carter |
said IL the Republicans created such |
a precedent 1t would leave room for
future fraud. In the United States, he |
said, the registration closed even
week or more before the day OF yot-
ing. The committee voted for keeping |
the registration lists open until the
voting closed on May 10.
A printing and distributing commit
tee to furnish the calls and rolls, etc.
