make a successful campaign this fall. |
The executive is perhaps The most i'm
portant committee connected with this |
party. In order to secure the hearty
cooperation of the other Islands, they
should be made to feel that they have
some hand in 1t. They will have feel
ing if they are left out that there is a
disposition on the part of the Oahu
members to run things. If 1 was Ho-
noiulu member you may be sure this
would be my suggestion. / am perfect
ly wiling to leave the matter to the
chairman"
Boyd moved to amend Iau<ea's mo-
ton that committee be appointed of
three from each elective district, MAX
ing eighteen in ALL the selection to be
left with the chairman. THE idea of
machine politics" said Boyd vehement
ly, has been thrown at the heads of
the Honolulu members enough. By ap-
done away with Mr.. Boyd's novel
proposition was received with laughter
and many seconds as well.
Mr.. Iaukea then ca led attention to
the fact that he did not believe in
proxies. He did not believe In any
member of the executive committee
being represented by proxy, as would
be the case with such a large commit
tee Proxies could not be sent giving
instructions as to just how it should Je
voted on every and all occasions which
turned up.
Ed Towse moved ,.iat an executive
committee consisting of four members
from each district of Oahu and one
member from each of the outside or
Island districts be appointed. the chair
man of the Central Committee to be
ex-officio making nine members in all.
DIFFERING IDEAS
w. r. Harrington did not understand
that the executive committee would
have to meet very often in Honolulu.
as each district memb ar of the commit
tee would take care of the work there.
He moved as an amendment to Mr..
Iaukea's motion that the committee
consist of nine members. Boyd asked
if the members of the outside districts
would be at the head of the movements
there. If so, he accepted the amend
ment. A reply was given him in the
affirmative. Mr. Harrington explained
his motion, which in detail resembled
the executive committee of the Repub-
lican party on the Mainland which had
national committeeman in each State
and Territory, who was at the head of
the party in that particular State or
Territory. Mr.. Towse opposed the mo-
ton, likening it to the bass for the or
ganization of political club.
Mir. Baldwin thanked Mr.. Earring
ton for his compliment to the country
members-that they could exercise the
functions Of leaders in their own de-
partments. The country members
would like little power. or at least to
think they had 1t. He thought that
the committee should be composed of
/ five members from Oahu, two from Ha-
wall, one from Maui and one from Ka-
uai. The chairman thought such a
committee would be easy of handling.
( Mr.. Iaukea withdrew his motion. MIR.
Boyd said he was glad the motion OF
Mr.. Baldwin had been brought up by a
country member, by one not of Homo
lulu, and was glad to withdraw his
amendment in favor of the motion. The
motion Of Mr.. Baldwin prevailed by a
unanimous vote.
! FINANCE COMMIT TEE.
The finance committee was next taken
up. 1t was moved that Mr.. Baldwin be
appointed chairman of the committee
to which the gentleman objected. II
was suggested that three members from
each elective district be appointed. Mr.
Baldwin also favored a large committee
on account of the difficulty on the
other Islands Of traverslng the country
to collect funds. One man in each dis
trict could not possibly do the work
The original motion for six member:
was voted upon favorably. Mr.. Baldwin
Mr.. TowSe'S amendment was then pu
in motion form and carried.
Upon the motion that a treasurer bt
appointed, A. V. Gear placed the name
of j. II. Boyd in nomination. Boy(
arose and stretched out his arms il
protest. Before he could open his mouth
cries of sit downi" and he sat down
saying he would do the best he could
Il was elected treasurer at Progress:
Han said he jokingly, and l haven
seen bean. You will all have to i
up now" secretary Hendry cast tn
ballot for treasurer and announced tn
election of Mr.. Boyd.
The chair suggested a literary com
mite ana one on organization. TIL,
first committee, he thought, ought to b.
located in Honolulu. Moved that tn
literary ard organization comm..tee b
referred to tn executive committee
/ which was carried.

Mr.. Iaul<ea called attention to tn
; fact that there was not a quorum pres

, proxies having been sent in for a spe
