The above are the delegates elected
by the Fifth District committee this
forenoon to represent it in the Terri
torial convention. A resolution was
passed by the committee suggesting
that Samuel Parker would make a very
good candidate for Congress AMI that
Judge Wilcox was also an available
and good candidate. Another Iesolu-
ton gave it as the sense of the COM
mittee that the Territorial convention
should not at this time be held in Hilo.
When chairman Carter opened the
meeting this morning he called vice
president Iaukea to the chair and NOV
ed to amend the rules passed yesterday.
The amendments were slight and were
passed
F. T. P. Warehouses; motion TO pro-
ceed to the election of delegates to the
Territorial convention carried. Mr..
Achi moved to elect one delegate from
Koolauloa. three from the district
(Which includes the fifth and sixth pre-
cincts) and two each fro mthe other
precincts of the district Mr.. laukea
amended to make it one from each dis
trict andeight at large, giving the total
number of eighteen. His idea was that
if the convention was held in HiIo it
might be necessary to go outside cf
precincts and even outside of the dis
trict to get delegates who COulG attend.
j. L. Holt amended to make the Hp-
portionment two each for the two pre-
cincts, one each for country precincts
| and four at large.
Iaukea's amendment was lost, holt
withdrew and Achis motion carried.
A recess of five minutes was here
taken for precinct delegations to get
| together and confer on candidates.
When order was again secured ii was
moved and carried that the roll of pre-
cincts be called and that each make it's
own nominations. The list Iul iiG ed
l
| suit.
| Mr.. Stewart moved that a committee
of three be appointed to confer with
| the Fourth District Committee in re-
gard to a choice of nominees for the
senate to represent the island of Oahu,
and also to confer as to the advisabili-
! ty of holding a public meeting on the
evening of the day of the nominations.
1t is expected that the nominations
may be made in the day time and that
a rally and speech-making may be held
! in Progress hall the same evening. This
motion carried.
The chair named T. McCants Stewart
L. L. McCandless and Curtis P. Iaukea.
1t was moved to instruct the dele
gates from the Fifth district to the
Territorial convention to vote for Sa-
muel Parker as the candidate of the
Republican party for Congress Sec
onded by Mr. Waterhouse Mr.. Nc
Candless had no objection to Mr.. Par
ker, but did object to binding down the
delegates in that way. The situation
might change in such a way that 1t
might be eXpedient and proper to no.
inmate some other man. At any rate
the delegates should be free to vote as
they pleased.
Mr.. Stewart offered an amendment tC
the effect that it was the sense OF the
Fifth District Committee that the Hon
date for nomination to Congress and
that Judge w. l.. Wilcox was also ar
available and good candidate.
There was considerable argument anC
wrangling over this motion and amend
ment. Finally the amendment passed
which does not bind the delegates and
merely submits a suggestion to the con
vention.
John McKeague offered a resolution
to the effect that it was the sense o.
the Fifth District Committee that thi
was not an opportune time for holdinl
the Territorial convention in Hilo, tax
, ing in consideration the convenienc,
and time of a majority of the members
This resolution was adopted by unani
, nous vote.
The business of the meeting was car
ried on in a very slow and tedious
, manner, despite the efforts of Presiden
, George r. Carter to eXpediate matters
Wrangling over insignificant details a
times became eXasperating to men ac
quainted with the most ordinary rule
of procedure in such meetings. Their
were numerous tilts between the chat
r and T. McCants Stewart, more parti
] cularl-- on Parliamentary usage
Withal the committee did every thin
for which 1t was chosen and in an ap
! parently satisfactory manner.
