Representatives of the Fourth and
Fifth districts of the Democratic party
met in the Orpheum theater at o'clock
last evening and within two hours COM
plete legislative tickets for this island
were in the field, delegates to the Ter
ritorial convention had been chosen and
these delegates had been Instructed to
vote for Prince David KawananakOa
for Congress.
There was certainly a snap to the
work, due largely to the vim of Colonel
Mccarthy the chairman Complete
states of candidates and delegates were
in the house and were offered. No OBJ
lection were made to those carrying
names for the legislature as sufficient
lee-way was left for all the additional
nominations desired. 1t was when Mr..
Wise produced a slate of the entire
thirty-six names for the Territorial
convention that there was a kick.
! Hold on. please, we would like to Of
fer few names ourselves" called a
man from the house after Wise had
read off half dozen names. The lat
ter desisted and the delegates were
then regularly nominated.
The theater was crowded. Practical
ly every seat was filled. The gathering
was about equally divided between Ha-
waiians and others. On one side of the
stage was a large framed portrait Of
! William j. Bryan on an easel draped
with the American flag. On the other
was a similarly arranged portrait Of
David Kawananakoa.
I Early in the evening fire works were
set off and colored fire burned in the
street in front of the theater. The con-
vention began assembling early. AS far
as possible the ushers seated people
according to the representative district
| in which they resided those from the
! fifth district being seated on the Eva
| side of the house; those from the fourth
on the Waikiki side. There We're quite
| a number of ladies present.
Promptly at s o'clock, the hour for
which the convention was called, Col.
! e. j. Mccarthy, as chairman of the
| territorial central committee took the
! gavel. There wdS an outburst of ap-
plause and enthusiasm when he ap-
peared on the stage. The enthusiasm
!
the convention.
| When order was obtained Chairman
| Mccarthy declared that the election
| of a permanent secretary was in order.
Edmund Hart was the only nominee
and was unanimously elected. For
permanent chairman E. b. McClanahan
! nominated Colonel Mccarthy. Here
again there was no opposition and the
election was by acclamation. John
Wise was appointed Hawaiian inter
/ prefer.
The chairman stated the objects OF
the convention, outlined the work to
be done and reported and read the fol-
lowing letter from Prince David, allow
/ ing his name to be used as a candidate
| for Congressional honors.
