Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1902-09-25


proceeding to vote, Umauma, the man
who nominated Mccarthy. stood up
and stated that he wished TO say few
words with respect to the man he had
named. Col. Mccarthy was a Demo-
crat but he was also a man who would
work for the rights OF the people. II
was a well known fact that the Home
Rule party was weak in the Fourth
District and, in order to gain strength
and carry the party to success, the only
sensible move to make was to allow the
Democrats representation. This refer
red to John ID. Holt as well as to Nc
Carthy but the delegates were well ac-
quainted with this young Hawaiian and
It was not necessary to say anything
about him. II two Democrats were
placed on the Home Rule ticket, II
would mean undoubted victory in the
Fourth and all over the island.
Chairman Kalauokalani next took UP
one of the ballots and reading the
names down the list, made witty refer
ences to each one, asking the delegates,
II they saw fit, to vote for them. Refer
ring to Kanealii, he said that the dele
gates should not pay any attention to
the fact that he had once been a Re-
publican. The Home Rule party was
continually calling out to those who
had made the mistake or entering the
other parties to come into its fold. As
to Lapana, he stated that this man was
a good Home Ruler as well as a good
painter. Those who wanted their
homes painted cheap should vote for
this man. Kamakaia was referred to
in his former capacity as a boat boy,
as a Home Ruler whose fame had been
spread abroad. Hina, said the chair
man, was a vendor Of leis, and II the
delegates wished to get wreaths to dec
crate themselves with after the conven-
ton, they should vote for him. David
Motley was staunch Home Ruler who
was not afraid to get out and shovel
coal on the wharves. In fact, he was
the best coal worker IN the place.
Haiola was a hack driver and those
who wished free rides should vote for
him.
! At this point, the delegates were ask
ed to arise and hold up their right
hands. They thereupon swore to up
hold the principles Of the Home Rule
party and to vote for the men who, ac-
cording to the dictates of their own
conscience, were the fittest to place be-
fore the people as candidates.
The voting began and was carried on
under the same system as that in vogue
OF Senators, held in Waverley hall yes
terday afternoon and evening.
The committee on printing Of ballots
called the turn pretty well for when
the ballots were counted, II was found
that the first six men on the list hal
been nominated. These, II might be
stated, were not placed In alphabetical
prder.

w. II. Kapu, 3; p. Haiola, 2; J. p.
Hina, I.
Chairman Kalauokalani, when he
had announced the result Of the ballot,
thanked the delegates for putting such
a strong ticket before the people. They
would constitute the right hand of the
people in the Fourth District and with
them, the Home Rulers would sweep
the deck. God had guided each dele.
gate in his vote and the result had been
most satisfactory.
The chair then announced that the
two district committees would meet in
Waverley hall this evening for the
purpose OF swearing the nominees and
nj listening to speeches by them.
At this point, every delegate was ask
ed TO stand and, Kaleikau starting the
refrain, fifty voices took up the nation
al anthem OF the Hawaiians-"Hawaii
Ponoi."
