TURK AND LEWIS TO 0WlL NOT BROOK DAVID DENIES THEIR AUTHORITY
TIE WILCOX PARTY TABUS HIS
SUPPORTERS.
j. o. Carter Thrown off the Independ-
ent Ticket Because he Supports Ka-
wananakoa instead of Robert Wilcox.

The Independent Home Rule Party, or
perhaps more accurately, the coterie
that is bossing it, have been playing
ducks and brakes with the ticket on
this island. incidentally, also, it has
added to the gaiety of the campaign by
provoking some very spicy correspon-
denCe.
Yesterday there was a meeting at
Independent headquarters and three
candidates were thrown headlong into
the void and three other names were
put on the ticket. Just who met and
did all this is not quite clear. George
Markham the secretary of the party
does not seem to think it necessary to
say who met. In his letters to the de-
posed candidates he simply says "at a
meeting held this morning at the head
quarters, etc" He does not give the
authority of the meeting to do anything
He does not say that it was the execu-
tive or any other committee of the
party.
Here is his letter on the subject to
j. o. Carter
Honolulu, October IS, 1900.
Hon. Jos. o. Carter
Sir: At meeting held this morning
at the headquarters of the Independ-
ent Home Rule Party, your name was
brought up for discussion, for reasons
OF your aftiliation with the Democra-
tic Party, at a meeting held by the
said party at the Orpheum on Monday
evening, October 18th; and it was una
nimously passed that your nomination
as Senator for the Island of Oahu is
hereby revoked by the Independent
Party.
I remain, yours respectfully,
GEO. MARKHAM,
Secretary I. H. r. p.
Mr.. Carter's reply is as follows:
Honolulu, H. T., October IS, 1900.
Mr.. Geo. Markham
Secretary Independent Home Rule
Party.
Sir: Receipt of your letter of even
date is hereby acknowledged. l note
that my nomination by the convention
of your party as Senator for the third
district, unsolicited by me, was "una-
nimously revoked" at a meeting of the
executive committee of your party held
this morning, and the reason for this
action was my conduct at a meeting
of the s'emocratic Party held az the
Orpheum on Monday evening last.
am given to understand by members
of the executive committee that the
particular offence 1 am charged with at
that meeing was the support of David
KawananakOa as delegate to Congress
at Washington. 1 am only pleased that
the sole charge you make against me
is loyalty to the Hawaiian alii who in
my opinion, is the fitting and proper
person to represent sober minded and
self-respecting Hawaiians at Wash
ingtOn.
Thanking you for the action your
committee has taken, which is quite in
harmony with my letter to the nominat-
ing convention of your party and which
relieves me from an awkward position
I remain, very truly yours,
(Signed) ]. o. CARTER.
