such report as presented savors Of
the suburbs al brooklyn, and of Boss
lroker, and aEainst good politics.
Shall we seek to coerce the Hawaiians
into the acceptance OF report like
This? ] say no. / don't believe there
is a man who will dare to 10 bach to
his constituents who Will vote for this
report"
J. X. Nahale stated ne would never
believe that MIR. Brown would do any
thing to mislead the people He said
he knew there was great rejoicing in
the ranks of the Democrats over the
chickering's in the Republican conven-
ton. He wanted to know IL all the
factions were going to work together
or apart. All could not have their in
dividual ways. Some must concede to
the wishes OF others He moved to
adopt the rules.
Hons on the Floor.
The motion before the house was
read and Mr.. Hons then took the floor.
He thought the Convention had the
right to frame any rules Il chose to
make up, whether for the Convention
only or for the permanent territorial
organization. If the committee had
exceeded its powers then the Conven-
ton had the right to judge that by its
vote. They could go to work and adopt
other rules. There was no machine
from Hawaii or Maui. If the adoption
OF the rules meant pure politics, then
the Convention ought to adopt them
If they needed to be changed, then the
Convention could change them
The paragraph carried.
Paragraph three was passed as fol-
lows:
That precinct clubs be organized in
each election precinct in the Territory
of Hawaii, which club shall be the reg
ular Republican organization in each
election precinct.
Achi did not want to lose any time
for the next election. Just
as soon as one election is over we
should begin to work for the next one"
said he. Some of the members think
We should wait until just before the
election before doing anything. If we
want to have small number of voters,
We need not do anything. But other
wise we must get out and work hard
1t seems to me that when some of the
~
they want to amend a section"
Rev. Mr.. Desha of the tirst District
said the rules were for the guidance OF
The Republican party wherever it may !
De. If they We're going to strike out
.hese rules there would be nothing to
guide 1t. The committee recommend
I'd the rules for the party, and he
wanted them adopted. The entire pre-
.mble to the rules and regulations was
inally adopted with amendments
TIE Long Fig hit EegIns.
Then came the bitter and long fight
IN the Rules and Regulations of the
Party of the Territory OF
laval. 1t continued during the en-
ire afternoon session, so that when a
ecess was taken at half-past five
'clock, little progress had been made
n the first article of the rules.
.Loebenstein stated he felt there had
cen arrogated to the committee thet
uty, which should belong to the Ter
ltorial committee, and he moved that
