CONTINUED from page -

Resolved. That the following rule be
adopted, namely: Any member of the
executive committee, leaving Honolulu or
the Territory temporarily shall give his
proxy in writing to a member of the
Territorial committee, or a member of
the last Territorial convention, and in the
event of his failure so TO do, the remain
ing members of the executive committee
shall appoint a member of the Territorial
committee or a member of the last Terri
torial convention, to act until the return
of such member leaving Honolulu or the
Territory as aforesaid, the appointee to
be of the same district as the absent
member. All rules or parts of rules in
consistent with this rule are hereby re-
scinded.
Stewart insisted that as the quorum
was now six instead of four, the same
difficulty was presented.
Colonel Jones said he was in favor of
members of the last convention, and lat
er made an amendment to strike out the
convention members clause, confiding the
proxy to committeeman
Stewart repeated his belief that the
original limitation was proper.
Senator Paris objected to the limitation
of the Island of Oahu and it was made
Honolulu" In this shape the resolu-
ton passed without dissenting vote.
The question then came up on the nam
ing of the new committeeman, and Stew
art insisted that the rules provided that
executive committeeman were TO be elect
ed by the district committees, and said
he did not propose that the right to elect
should be taken from the Fifth District.
Huddy took the stand that there should
be conscientiousness in politics and so
the Fifth should be recognized. There
was long discussion, one full of heat,
and Stewart, Kepoikai and Paris saying
that they thought the country should be
allowed to vote on the new members as
they had voted 10 authorize them. After
some time an amendment to have the
men named from the two city dis
tricts and nominated by the members
from those districts, made by Stewart,
was not even seconded, and then the
plan to have the members elected at
large passed, tha only vote against being
Stewart, who asked that his name be put
down mo- in capitals.
J. P. Cooke, nominated J. w. Jones'
and j. A. Gilman and Stewart nominated
John c. Lane and Fred Archer, the lat
ter receiving no second. The vote stood
Jones Is; Gilman, Il; Lane, IL.
Stewart rose and said he wanted to
denounce the unholy alliance which de-
priyed the executive committee of such
an excellent citizen and Republican as
John c. Lane, and the Fifth District of
representatio
Stewart proposed the following reso-
luton, which was adopted:
Resolved, that the following rule be
adopted, namely: The executive COM
mittee may appoint an advisory COM
mittee to consist of such a number to
serve for such time as it deems best,
whose duty it shall be to aid such
in tho Of orf-,r e
fairs in such manner as it shall pro-
vide
Stewart then offered the following,
which was adopted:
Resolved that the following rule be
adopted, namely: All appointments TO
office in the public service should be
made, as far as practicable, upon the
Endorsement of a majority of the exec
utive committee of the district COM
mittee of the district in which the ap-
plicant resides, and the executive COM
mittee Of this Territorial committee
All rules or resolutions or parts there
of inconsistent with this rule are here
by rescinded."
Stewards next was to meet differ
ent fate. It was:
Resolved, that the executive COM
mittee be and is hereby authorized ana
directed to ascertain what appoint
ments have been made to Office in the
various Territorial departments since
the confirmation by the Senate of the
Governors appointments and with
what Endorsements, and report the re-
suit of their investigation to this COM
mittee at it's next meeting
On this there was little talk, but
with Wilcox Withholding his vote, the
result was nine ayes to ten noes, and
Wilcox then voting, the final result
was defeat by eleven to nine, which
brought out the remark from the MAX
er of the motion that the question
would have to be met before the peo-
pie. Stewart then moved a minute on
the death of the President, which occu-
pies a page of the minutes and which
is to be sent to Secretary Hitchcock.
NJ. A. Hanna and Mrs. Mckinley.
On motion of Wright it was decided
that any member of the executive
committee who is absent from the Ter
ritory for a period of six months shall
Vacate his seat and the central COM
mittee shall fill it.
The committee then adjourned.
