tee present. These were from the First,
Third, Fourth and Fifth Districts. none
/ or the Second or Sixth people being In
their seats, In fact none knowing OF
their election for the delegates had
CHOSEN men who stayed at home with
the exception of Col. Samuel Parker
from the second. The choice of Clar-
ence Crabbe for temporary chairman
brought the proceedings to stage
where they rested for time while
men who misunderstood each other dis
cussed methods for a half hour.
| A. l.. G. Atkinson wanted the selec-
| ton of the permanent officers of the
committee sent over for a week while
/ the men of the other islands were noti-
fled and then they might have a chance
to express their choices for the various
offices and have a chance to send their
/ proxies down to men here. There was
/ some degree of heat shown while Jones
insisted upon organization at once so as
! to get down to work. Finally after dis
/ cussion IL was decided that the motion
made should except the members of the
! executive committee, and in this shape
the resolution passed the body. The
officers chosen for the complete tenn
porary organization under this plan
were as follows: Chairman, Clarence
Crabbe; Vice Chairman, j. II. Fisher;
Secretary, A. l.. c. Atkinson; treasurer,
George r. Carter.
= The committee then resolved itself
into delegations and proceeded to elect
executive committeeman. There were
only three districts able to do this. The
third district chose II. A. Baldwin; the
Fourth, j. w. Jones and a. l.. c. At
kinson, and the Fifth, c. II. Carter and
f.. G. Winston.
Senator Carter said that he thought
1t incumbent upon the party to have IA
watcher at the registration, owing to
the fact that it would be much easier
to take the names this year by keeping
up with them and then having the lists
always full Winston also raised the
contention that the lists had on them
many men who had lost their political
rights through being conyicts or by
reason of not being able to read and
write. He wanted to have this feature
watched as well. The name of G. b.
Wilson was proposed as one who might
be secured for the work Messrs. Car
ter, Winston and Atkinson were named
to look into the matter at once.
Chairman Crabbe then brought up
the idea of translating the speech of
former Senator Thurston and that of
, Senator Burton for distribution. Car
ter at once proposed that a suggestion
of Chairman Holstein be followed. This
was that there should be prepared a
pamphlet. In this there might be pic
, lures of Prince Cupid, his biography
the platform, the speeches referred "a
and perhaps other information. This
met with favorable comment owing "a
, the fact that IT was felt that in this
form the document would be read and
, not thrown away at once. on motion
| a committee on campaign literatur,
, was formed consisting OF Atkinson
, Coney and Jones TO which Crabbe al
the suggestion of Jones added himself
later.

was said that while the button two
years ago cost $40 thousand Williams
now wanted $40 "A hundred. The mat
