II Is generally Understood that Harold
NJ. sowall left order with his best men
before leaving for san Francisco last week
to have Haywood, II paced IN nomination
defeated by all means.
II is also understood that at n caucus
before the meeting the minority asked
some concessions from the majority.
THIS was refused. The minority stated
they would put up Haywood The ma
chine" SAID no concessions would be made
II Haywood was put on the list OF noml-
noes. They sad take out Haywood and
you can have third of the nominations
They, however, IN fact, reserved the right
even to name the substitute for Haywood
which the minority refused TO buckle
down to-
Lorrin Andrews spoke for harmony.
He stated Yesterday afternoon that Mr..
Boyd had the day before asserted that
every effort SHOULD be made to bring the
Republicans together. I'VE are minor
ity." said Mr.. Andrews, surveying the
out side OF the machine" faction. I'VE
only want to name onc-thrd, or n few
Of tho delegates TO go to the convention
All we are asking 10 for little repre-
sentaton to appease any hard feeling In
the party. We are al going 10 pitch In
and work for the Reput lean Party. We
want to make 1t n solid Fourth District for
the party. We think some names OF ours
should be considered by you as our
choice" Mr.. Andrews nominated Frank
Hogs In conclusion.
Frank Hogs moved that the nominal
lions close after twenty-five names had
been put In. w. r. Harrington objected
on the grounds that every man should
have an opportunity to make his nominal
lions. After the twenty-three votes went
in, 1t was moved that the nominations
close and the motion carried. Hoogs
moved the committee proceed to ballot

Brown were paired and could not vote.
The proxy OF Mr.. Nahoolewa appointing
g. l.. Wilcox to vote for him was read
and approved. a recess OF five minutes
was then taken until the ballots could he

the ballots were typewriter and needed
little changing.
The chair appointed Messrs. Andrews
ard Brown as tel'ers. Andrews withdrew
on account of an engagement at the Reg
istratton once. FRANK HOGS was APP
PORTED instead OF Andrews.

w. r. Harrington. at the conclusion Of
the balloting, arose and spoke for the fu-
ture election of delegates at the primaries
There has been good deal OF feeling
expressed. / think all this can be obviat-
ed in the future by electing the dele
gates to the Territorial Convention at the
primaries. There can be absolutely no
difficulty If that Is carried out. That
change can be made by the Territorial
Executive Committee. / submit this mo-
tion, THAT the Fourth District Commit
tee recommend that the rules of the party

ritor'al delegates at the party primaries"
Carried.
II. NJ. Mott-Smith moved that com
mittee of three he appointed to meet a
similar committee from the Fifth Dis
trict to confer and agree upon legislative
nominees. motion to adjourn was of
fored, but was lost.
Clarence Crabbe then took the floor
to offer resolution looking towards the
selection of the congressional delegate.
He thought that all the delegates had
made their choice for delegate. He NOV
ed that the choice OF the party of the
Fourth District be Samuel Parker.
Lorrn Andrews jumped to his feet In
an instant and foreshadowing what the
result of vote in the committee would
be. nevertheless put In this thrust: I'VE
all know how the vote will be. Personally
] know of no more available candidate
than Parker. But i don't believe that
an expression one way or the other should
cmanate from this committee. The motion
will probably go through but that is my
objection. l don't think we should bind
the delegates"
A. ". Gear In reply said no did not see
where the argument cape in. 1t was the
custom he said all over the United States
wherever nominations of that kind were
to be made TO give the delegates the View
OF tho committees. II don't see whore
the inference comes in" said he. "SOme
of them 20 so far as to Instruct their
delegates how to vote"
ii. NJ. Mott-Smith said he did not think
II was a question of inference. To him Z
wa sa question OF wisdom or lack OF wis
dom.
Crabbe's motion prevailed, however.
