Z. NJ. White arose to speak and to
present motion. Cries of sit down"
greeted him, and the chair ruled him
out OF order, as there was motion be-
fore the house. White did sit down. but
got up a moment later with his hat in
hand. He walked toward the door. but
| changed his mind and sat down among
tie spectators. Secretary Hendry went
to him and spoke quietly and led him to
the chairman, who said lew whisper
ed words. and the angered member
from the Fourth District retook his
/ seat among the delegates.
The secretary then read the report of
tie committee on rules and regulations,
section by section. Objections were
, maze as to the time set in the report
as to the November primaries. A dele
gate said he did not believe In naming
a central committee, but should leave
the matter to the convention which met
| then. Robertson said his sentiments
agreed with the statement made. The
meeting of convention in November
would be for the purpose of nominating
delegate to Congress, and the con-
| vention at that time would elect dts
central committee.
Question Of When.
A. V. Gear stated that in a nutshell
the situation was to choose delegate.
| II the Republicans wanted to take part
In the coming fall election, they would
| have to have convention to nominate
their delegate. 1t was simply ques-
tlon of whether the convention in Oc-
| tober or November should choose it's
delegate or whether the present con-
| vention should choose a Territorial
committee which would continue to
hold until after that election, and be
| the organization to appoint the dele
gate. He thought it better for the con-
Vention convened in November to re-
nominate Territorial committee and
nominate the Congressional delegate.
'ihe Republican ranks by fall would
| probably be increased, and all should
| have chance then TO say who shall be
the delegate
An amendment to the opening para
| graph was amended to read until their
successors are appointed or qualified"
making the paragraph read as follows
That such committee shall be en-
powered to call all necessary primaries
and conventions, and to otherwise regu-
| late the affairs of the Republican party
until their successors are appointed or
qualified
II was suggested that it would not be
| necessary for him to resign his DO
| sition, as he could give MS proxy to
| another delegate. &
Loebenstein Dramatic.
| Cecil Brown then moved that Article
1 be taken up section by section He
| hn baI infc
ed for having exceeded dts authority.
Loebenstein stated that when he
| cast his vote for the selection OF the
committee on rules it would be solely
for the purposes of formulating rules
and mode of procedure for the general
conduct of the affairs of the convention,
and that they would cease at the con-
cluSion OF the convention. He did not
| think a single Republican of the con-
vention would consider for moment
an attempt to have foisted upon him a
report as proposed to pass the conven-
ton. 1t would result in the wrecking
and defeat of the Republican party at
| next general election.
Mr.. Loebenstein said: Il claim that
such report as presented savors OF
the suburbs of Brooklyn, and of Boss
| Croker, and against good politics.
Shall we seek to cosrce the Hawaiians
| into the acceptance of report like
this? | say no. / don't believe there
| is man who will dare to go back to
his constituents who will vote for this
report"
J. K. Nahale stated he would never
believe that Mr.. Brown would do any
thing to mislead the peop.e. He said
be knew there was great rejoicing in
the ranks of the Democrats over the
chickering's in the Republican conven-
| ton. He wanted to know if all the
factions were going to work together
| or apart. All could not have their in
| dividual ways. Some must concede to
| the wishes of others. He moved to
| adopt the rules.
Hons on the Floor
| The motion before the house was
read and Mr.. Hons then took the floor.
| He thought the Convention had the
| right to frame any rules it chose to
make up, whether for the Convention
| only or for the permanent territorial
organization. If the committee had
exceeded its powers then the Conyen-
tion had the right to judge that by its
vote. They could go to work and adopt
other rules. There was no machine
from HaWall Or Maui. If the adoption
of the rules meant pure politics, then
the Convention ought to adopt them.
If they needed to be changed, then the
convention could change them.
The paragraph carried.
Paragraph three was passed as fol-
lows:
That precinct clubs be organized in
each election precinct in the Territory
of Hawaii, which club shall be the reg
ular Republican organization in each
election precinct.
Achi did not want to lose any time
preparing for the next election. Just
as soon as one election is over we
should begin to work for the next one,"
said he. Some of the members think
We should wait until just before the
election before doing anything. If we
want to have small number of voters,
we need not do anything. But other
wise We must get out and work hard.
1t seems to me that when some of the
men here cannot carry their point,
they want to amend section
