REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
NOMINEES FOR
OAHU.
Senatorial Convention for the Third
District and Representative Conven-
lions for the Fourth and Fifth.

The Republican district conventions
of this island met in joint convention
at the drill shed last evening and put
complete tickets in the field for the
| legislature. Mr.. Gear, who was aiming
| for the Senate, was not nominated at
all. There was strong effort in the
| Fifth district to nominate S. NJ. Damon,
even though he had been already no
minated by the Democrats, but the
financier was turned down on the final
vote.
| The first meeting was in joint con-
vention. Curtis =. Iaukea raped for
order and James II. Boyd was chosen
chairman. Charles f. Peterson was Sc
! lected as secretary In accepting office
Mr. Boyd expressed the hope that work
would go on without friction, and
thereupon announced that nominations
! for senators were in order. Chairman
! j. w. Jones, of the Fourth district,
asked for a recess of fifteen minutes
to caucus on candidates. This was OBJ
jected to by T. McCants Stewart, of the
! Fifth. He said his district was ready
| for business and the Fourth should
also be. A. F. Gilfillan replied sharply
that the Fourth district did not believe
! in cut-and-d methods of doing bus
mess,
whether the districts should caucus on
three names each or on the entire six,
allowed for the entire island. Chair
man Boyd gave 1t as his opinion that
the districts should caucus on six. Lor-
rim Andrews thought there should be
no caucus at all, but that the senators
should be elected in open convention.
Caucus was finally decided upon and
it was also agreed that each district
should select and present three names.
When the convention reassembled
there was long discussion on proxies,
all of which was knocked into a cock
ed hat, however by a motion of Henry
Waterhouse to proceed to business.
Nominations were called for and the
following were named: From the
Fourth, b. F. Dillingham;, by c. b. Will
son; Clarence l.. Crabbe, by Charles
Wilcox; Cecil Brown by A. f. Gilfillan.
From the Fifth, W. c. Achi, by r. Nc
Giants Stewart; Frank Pahia, by j. L.
Kaulukou; George r. Carter by j. l..
Kaulukou.
On motion of Mr.. Stewart nominal
tions closed and the chairman cast the
unanimous vote of the convention for
the gentlemen named.
There was a long debate on how to
appOrtion the senators between the two
and four year terms, following
which, however it was discovered that
the matter was settled by the legisla-
ture. In the meanwhile a special COM
mittee of three from each district had
decided that Cecil Brown, Frank Pa
hia and w. c. Achi should have four
year terms and the others three.
On motion of Frank L. Hoogs the
joint convention adjourned.
FOURTH DISTRICT.
Immediately following adjournment
of the joint convention the Fourth met
to name candidates for the House o.
Representatives. AS the names had
+ already been settled upon in caucus the
work took only a few minutes. The
nominees were A. G.. M. Robertson, w.
H. Hoogs, George F. Mcleod, j. w. K.
Keiki and William Aylett.
FIFTH DISTRICT.
All the fun came in the Fifth district
meeting George r. Carter presided
and w. j. Coelho was secretary. On
motion of w. c. Achi nominations were
at once taken up and the following
were named: II. r. Hitchcock, Enoch
Johnson, L. l.. McCandless, John Nc
Cabe, ]. L. Kaulukou, S. NJ. Damon,
F. T. P. Warehouse and w. j. Coelho.
L. L. McCandless arose and stated
that he wished to withdraw. He had
been knitted once before during the
evening in caucus and did not wish to
be slaughtered again. He would sup
port the party to the limit but did not
want to be put up to be knocked down,
as was evidently the desire of some
people in the convention.
There were objections from several
sides to the withdrawal of Mr.. McCand-
less, and chairman Carter finally ruled
that the only way a withdrawal could
be effected would be for the gentleman
making the nomination to withdraw
the name. Mr.. O'Dowda, of Eva, who
had put Mr. McCandless' name, fatty
refused to withdraw it, which settled
the matter.
DAMON TURNED DOWN.
At this point Mr.. McCandless arose
and said: Mr.. Chairman, wish now
