O'Clock ON the Kalihi matter. The final
result was that stewart, Sims and Holt
were dropped. ana Judge W. l.. Wilcox
and DR.. Huddy We're elected to repre-
sent that precinct In the Territorial con-
vention.
The debate on the matter was fast
and furious" During its continuance
several suggestions were made. but all
were finally shelved for one advanced
by Colonel Iaukea, who advocated
throwing out the late candidates and
putting i'm men who had not been con-
nected with the affair at all.
When the meeting was called to order
Frank Pahia reported that he had made
a demand of X. r. G.. Wallace for the
Kalihi ballots, in accordance with the
instructions of the forenoon, but that
gentleman had positively refused to
give them up. He asked for further
instructions.
Captain Cluney, who was one of the
judges at Kalihi, was present i'm the
room, and was asked to explain the
trouble out there which he did, taking
care to affirm certain things that SEEM
ed to show crookedness on the part of
the other two judges
Mr.. Achi made a speech i'm favor of
electing two of the three men voted on
by the Kalihi people, and offered the
names of w. r. Sims and ]. l.. Holt
He believed that those tw' gentlmen
tried to do the fair thing in the election
and that the unfairness was on the 9TH
| er side
Colonel Iaukea regretted that the
thing should have come up at all. He
! favored clean ablloting and such must
| be had if the Republican party ever
expected to gain anything from the ma
tive vote. News of the scandal had al
ready reached Waialua, and the natives
were watching it with more than ordi-
| nary interest The speaker while
friendly with the three gentlemen who
had run on Saturday, felt that the con-
vention should ignore all three, and put
| in men not concerned in the affair at
all. He would nominate Judge w. L.
| Wilcox for one, and would like for
somebody else to nominate another
man.
Mr.. Hughes agreed with Mr.. Iaukea
Mr.. Farmer also agreed with Mr.. Ian.
kea, and nominated f. c. Winston as
the second delegate.
Mr.. Achi insisted on his point that
| the delegate should be selected from
the number presented by the people OF
Kalihi. He said that Wilcox and Win.
Ston were good men, but had not ShOwT
themselves popular enough to get be-
fore the voters of the precinct.
Mr.. Sims was called upon to explain
about the meetings held at Kalihi in ar
effort to compromise the difficulties and
did so.
Mr.. Hughes moved for an executive
session.
Colonel Iaukea strongly objected C
this, stating that the convention hat
nothing to hide, and that the discussion
should be open and above board.
There being no second to Hughes mo
ton it went by default.
Frank Archer agreed with Colone
Iaukea that new men should be put in
Frank Pahia thought two of the
three. of Saturdays candidates SHOULD
be elected, as they were evidently tn,
most popular with the people of tina
district.
Mr.. Holt made a speech i'm which III
withdrew, and recommended the ap
pointment of new men.

and the name of Mr.. Winston with
drawn.
