GREAT AUDIENCE WILL
GREET SENATOR ThURSTON
Meeting to Be Held Saturday Evening at
the Orpheum Promises to Make
a Re ord.

UltU Nlh W ~ NtNA represent me nlrtfltl
upon the ticket for the legislature.
The meeting Of the executive commit
tee Of the district committee held yes
terday was well ATTENDED and the men
entered enthusiastically upon their
work. The resolutions passed at the
meeting of TUESDAY evening were sent
out and the expectation is that there
viii be no delay by the clubs getting
down To work. The calls will reach the
various club officials today and there
should be no time lost In the matter OF
action.
The point has been raised that there
are in the rules no arrangements for
the issuance OF calls for meetings OF
precinct clubs by the officers of the
clubs. The only point set out is that
the executive committee of the district
committee may call a meeting when
ever IL may see fit. but the call sent
out simply provides that there shall be
"A meeting on or before September 9Th
for the making of recommendation to
the committee. This may cause some
delay but the officers of the clubs will
be called together as soon as possible
and thus prevent any possible default
in sending in the names of those to be
favored by the committees.
Col. Curtis L. Iaukea believed that in
the report of some of his remarks be-
fore the district committee. he was
made to say that he would be RESPONSE
BILE for any extra cost OF city gov
ernment. The sentence said that II
there should be extra taxation he would
be ready to meet ii, which of course
meant only the taxation which might
be added to his present payment, and
can be only so construed by people who
understand English.
FOURTH PRECINCT CHOICES.
There have been many caucuses of
the various precincts and the first to
come out with definite conclusions is
the Fourth of the Fourth. In the course
of a long meeting held yesterday it was
decided that the delegates to the Terri
torial convention from that precinct
should act as "A body in pressing upon
the convention certain nominations.
Without dissenting voice IL was de-
cided that the name of Alex. G.. NJ. Rob
ertson should be presented for the
nomination for delegate The nominat-
ing speech may be made by Senator
Crabbe. Crabbe was named for the
member of the Territorial committee
anu the ucltBdlts uttlutu tIlut lHty
would support A. n. Kepoikai for the
position of chairman Of the convention.
In the event that he should not appear
as the candidate for the nomination for
delegate.
Arrangements for the convention are
being made and II Is probable that
there will be one OF the largest meet
ings that has ever assembled in the
city. All the delegates from Hawaii
have slgnified their intention to come
over at the end of the week, and the
arrangements are such that there will
be boats arriving Saturday or Sunday
from both sides of the big island, as
well as of Maui.
There will be some speeches during
the deliberations of the committees.
and 1t seems probable that there will
be at least one United States senator
on the platform, and as well former
senator, with other distinguished men
who are now in the city.
