kauai IS UNREPRESENTED
FAILED TO HOLD A DISTRICT
CONVENTION.
Only Four Delegates From the Garden
Isle to the Republican Territorial
Convention Put in an Appearance.

The news from Kauai is that the Re
publicans have failed to hold a district
convention, and hence no delegates TO
the Territorial convention were regular
ly elected from the sixth representative,
comprising the islands OF Kauai and
Niihau. SO far only one precinct in the
district seems to have taken the trou-
BILE even TO hold primaries. The Wal
mea precinct held its primaries and
elected Judge j. H. Kahilina, w. j.
Sheldon o. Blackstad and DR.. Sandow.
These delegates to the district conven-
tion went to Lihue, expecting that a
district convention had or would be
called there by w. II. Rice one of the
party organization committee appoint
ed at the Republican mass meeting in
Honolulu. But no district convention
was called, and they could not learn
that precinct primaries had been held
anywhere except at Waimea. So the
four delegates from Waimea came over
on the Mikahala to attend the Terri
torial convention and represent their
part of the sixth district.
This failure of the Republicans of
Kauai to secure select representatives
in the Territorial convention will prob
ably be one of the first subjects for
consideration in the organization of the
convention. The sixth district under
the call is entitled to twelve delegates
III
from Waimea are not in all respects
formally chosen, it is probable they will
be seated, and the convention ITSELF
may select other Republicans of Kauai
who are in Honolulu at the time to fill
out the full delegation from that dis
trict.
w. H. Rice is quoted as saying that
he believes it would be better for the
people of Kauai to be represented in the
! Legislature by Independent representa-
| tiVes than to divide on party lines in
| the selection of members of the Legis-
Iature. However, it is not authOrita-
lively stated that Mr.. Rice has made
such declarations, and he may not have
done so, and the statement that he did
may have grown out of misunder-
| standing of something else that he said.
| Returns are nearly all in now and
kthe makeup of the first Republican
FTerritorial convention of the Territory
of Hawaii is practically known. The
| convention will meet at 10 o'clock We'd
nesday morning May 80, in Honolulu.
