VOICE OF KALIHI CALLS HIM TC
CONGRESS.
The Warning Factions of the Reform
School Precinct Unite in Support Of
the Well Known Jurist.
Judge Wilcox for Congress!

Judge WILCOX IOf congress!
Such is the Vox Kalihi. He was no.
minated at the meeting of the Repub-
licans of the seventh precinct of the
Fifth District, held at the Reform
school last night. The resolution COM
mitting the Republicans of that precinct
to his candidacy was adopted with
much demonstration.
The Republican Club of the 7th, Pre-
cinct, Fifth District, held warm and
protracted meeting last night at the
Reform School. Adjournment was not
had until nearly 10:30 O'clock and at
the end, the sweet dove of peace was
not in sight. The following nominal
tions went through smoothly. Judge
w. L. Wilcox for president, DR.. George
H. Huddy, Vice-president, and j. w.
Sherwood, secretary. Then came the
first clash. These gentlemen are now
serving. w. r. Sims nominated Wong
Leong for treasurer. 7. McCants
Stewart thought that as the old ticket,
UP to this point, was renominated, 5.
Louden, the present treasurer, should
be chosen, and he suggested that Mr..
Sims withdraw the name Of Wong
Leong. The answer from Mr. Sims was
mot on your life. 1 have nominated
him and now l shall try to elect him, -
Mr.. Leong was elected. After numerous
declinations to serve, an executive COM
mittee was nominated with e. G. Win
ston in the lead; and after more nu-
1nerous declinations, a board of Judges
OF election was named. When K. r. G..
wallace declined, Judge Wilcox said,
with his usual good humor, wallace
has one ballot in his possession now"
There was the heartiest outburst of
laughter led by Wallace who replied,
"Well Judge, L certainly don't want
another one"
The next clash came when T. Nc
Cants Stewart offered the following re-
solution.
Resolved that we present to the Sc
material and Representative Conven-
tions the names of w. c. Achi and ]. L.
Kaulukou for Senators; and S. M. Da-
mon and H. r. Hitchcock for Repre-
sentatives, and heartily urge their no.
inination." w. r. Sims opposed the re-
solution with great earnestness; but,
after a lengthy discussion it was adopt
ed. He then offered a resolution pre-
senting the name of Judge Wv L. Will
cox as Delegate to Congress. T. Nc
Cants Stewart seconded the resolution
in speech, which was heartily ap-
plauded, and the resolution passed una
nimously amidst great demonstration
The meeting then settled down to the
nomination of three persons as Delega-
tes to the district committee. After g
lively contest, e. G. Winston, j. L. Holt
and T. McCants Stewart were nomina-
: ted. Mr.. Sims announced, before the
pdllollnS DeBdH, IndI ne WOulu run OF
ticket of his own, If the nominations
did not suit him. So another lively pri-
mary is ahead.
A break is threatened at the polls to.
morrow evening however. The attack
if made is to be directed against T. Nc.
Cants Stewart. Dr.. Huddy received
one vote less than the number cast fol
Stewart and it is said that if Huddy
cares to run in opposition to Stewart
there will be large following in the
precinct to oppose the candidacy OF
Stewart. The matter is being discussed
among the voters of the precinct anC
while there is a strong element in favor
of Stewart it would not be difficult t
find an element to oppose him.
