mittee. II II was desired to have the
Republican party amount to a damn
something would have to be done. He
did not believe in sticking too close to
the Central Committee.
II was Senator Paris's impression
that the amendment of Mr.. Stewart
would help the party out in the future
but not in the present. Mr.. Stewart
answered that he believed the com.
mittee was disposed to do the safe
thing In any event. The Executive
Committee should be kept in running
order.
Just here. Mr.. Fisher asked which
body was paramount, the Territorial
Committee or the Executive Commit
former most certainly was paramount.
Mr.. Fisher then continued, saying that
too much business had been done with
In the confines of the Executive Com
mittec by four or five members. II
was too much of close corporation.
He then went on to suggest that. II
the Territorial Committee as whole
should instruct the Executive Com
mittee, they would be reasonably en-
pected to do 1t.
Mr.. Stewart said again that the con-
vention Of September. 1900, had fixed
the rules and that, II the Territorial
Committee could change this organic
act in one respect. they could change It
in any other.
Mr.. Wright said that II the conven-
ton made mistake, 1t was no reason
why the Territorial Committee should
make another mistake.
At this point, the vote on the ORR
ginal motion to increase the member.
ship of the Executive Committee was
taken and IL was found that there were
Is ayes and s noes. The motion was
declared carried.
Mr.. Stewart then read again the
amendment he had offered. this time
putting IL into the shane of an indie.
pendent motion. Judge Kepoikai wa.
called to the chair and Col. Jones adj.
dressed the committee. He was In
favor of the resolution. However
there was something I'm II that shoult
be carefully considered. In his opin.
ion. those taking the places OF absent
members of the Executive Committe,
should be chosen from the Territoria'
Committee or the District Committees
instead OF the Territorial Committee O,
the convention for the reason that tn,
district committees were always NOR,
in touch with the political doinps with.
In their respective boundaries. Col
Jones put his remarks in the form of {
motion but withdrew 1t later on wher
the suggestion was made tAat tn,
choice be from the Territorial Com
mittee. Mr.. Stewart made no objec
ton to this latter amendment and hi
resolution finally passed In the follow
ing shape:

be adopted, namely.
