were held at the various pre-
cinct polling places of the first district
last Wednesday night. The place des-
ignated for the polling place and also
for the preliminary meeting place or
the Republicans of Hilo and Olaa was
Fireman's Hall, Hilo. Consequently
few if any residents of Olaa were pres
ent.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Richards, who stated the object of
the work, which was to elect a presi-
dent permanent secretary and three
judges of election, and look after such
other details of organization as the
club saw fit.

resulted in the election of F. S. Lyman,

It was moved by J. U. Smith that the
club proceed to the formation and adop-

Richards read a letter just received
from the Executive Committee, stating
that a form of bylaws had been for
warded to all the precincts which 1t
seemed desirable that all should adopt
as nearly as possible in order that all
might work uniformly. Mr.. Richards
said however. that he had not received
such form. Mr.. Smith then withdrew
his motion ana substituted one to the
effect that a committee on bylaws be
appointed who should work on the lines
suggested by the Executive Commit
tee when the form referred to should be
received, and report at future meet
ing of the club. This motion was car
ried. The chair appointed upon this
committee Carl S. Smith, J. U. Smith
w. H Smith, Dr. Milton Rice, and l..
A. Andrews.
/ The matter of holding the next Terri
torial Republican Convention in Hilo
instead of Honolulu was then broach-
ed, some correspondence upon the sub
iect having been previously held be-
tween the Central Executive Committee
! and one or two Hilo people, who
thought it would be a good thing for
the town. 1t would be necessary to
raise 81 900 here toward defraying the
expenses Of the delegates from the
! other Islands, in order to get the wheels
working rightly In this direction, as
| Honolulu has all the natural pull. Inc
proposition took very favorably IN the
club, not so much from partisan pollt-
ical point of view as from the idea thar
it would be greatly to the advantage OF
| the town in a business way ana III ils
standing with the Legislature In the
way of appropriations. A motion was
made that a committee Of five be APP
! pointed to secure pledges from loca!
people of the amount required, as II
was necessary to give the committee
! guarantee by return Kinau. The mo-
tion was amended to enlarge the mum
Der TO seven, which was carried. Those
appointed were L. A. Andrews, A Mar
| shall J. u. Smith, j. III. McDonough
George H. Williams. j. T. NOR, w. II
Little.
The meeting then adjourned subject
to call.
