MOTLEY, CAYPLEsS
AND MAKAINAI
The Delegates Arrive at Their
Conclusion After an All
Day Session.

After spending all day in the prepara-
ton for their action, the joint conven-
| ton of the Home Rule party for the
| selection of candidates for the Senate
from the island of Oahu last evening
| chose the following: Jesse Makainai,
Charles Motley and Edgar Caypless.
The result was that which accom-
panied the violent speeches made and
the evidences of high feeling which
marked the proceedings. There was a
general disposition to have nothing to
do with the men mentioned by the
Democracy, and such old line Home
Rulers as Palau did not scrup1e to refer
to their erstwhile allies as Snakes
The men named were selected from
among sixteen names, one, Damien, re-
ceiving only a nomination, none voting
for him. The vote as recorded was as
follows: Edgar Caypless, SO; J. P. Ma
kainai, 81; Charles Motley, Al; Joseph
Aea, %; John D. Holt, 20; William
Mossman, 10; C. B. Male, 6; H Kauai
hilo, 4; J. P. Kahahawai, 8; It. C. Po-
lokapu, 2; j. K. Paele, 2; D. Kawanana-
koa, G. A. Long. H. B. Kaliiheenalu
and John Baker, one each.
The convention met first at ten
o'clock yesterday morning at Waverley
hall. Kalauokalani was absent as he
was to appear before the Commission of
Senator's, and so could not finish that
work in time to be present at the con-
yention. He sent note to Makainai
and that official adjourned the meeting
finally until the afternoon. While the
delegates were waiting Palau spoke at
some length saying that the delegates
would have to make a careful selection
TO secure the very best men. He pre-
dicted victory in the event of the best
men being put up. He referred to the
proposed allies of last week, saying that
in the list of men before the convention.
there would be some snakes, but the
delegates must choose carefully.
A delegate who was not in when Ka-
lauokalani's note was read, proposed a
committee of three to wait upon Ka-
.lauokalani to ask him when the con-
vention would be permitted to meet,
but he was turned down and the sug-
gestion MADE that such action would be
interpreted to mean that the Home
p1rlo La n fol
pieces.
Kalauokalani called the final session
of the joint convention to order at two
o'clock, there being eighty-four dele
gates present and two absent. The
chair appointed Kaleikau, Mahoe opio
Keanu. Kailimai and Baker a commit
tee on credentials and all were reported
in order. One of the delegates moved
that the rules of order be suspended,
and moved that everyone not a dele
gate be excluded from the hall There
was no support for this and the motion
was lost.
The men named above were then
nominated and recess was taken for
the preparation of ballots. There was
some discussion over the proposal tot
have a general debate upon the merits
of the candidates, but Kalauokalanil
ruled it out of order. Others said they
knew that there were snakes on the
list, and Kalauokalani said that there
should be no fear but a choice could be
made and the "moos'' left off the ticket.
Senator Kalauokalani then had the
delegates stand and he administered to
them the oath. All were sworn to
make selection of the best men and
those who would work for the good of
the party. The chairman then said:
Now is the time for you to select
your candidates. You have before you
the names of all candidates. There are
sixteen names on the ticket. You must
have those who can do all for you.
When I went to the Senate 1 found
plenty to do we want men who are
in favor of county and municipal gov
eminent. This is a great work and we
must think before we select them.
The voting was very slow and the
result was not announced until after
six o'clock. Owing to the late hour
there was nothing done as to the legis-
lative ticket. Speeches were made by
the candidates.
This morning there will be separate
conventions held by the districts at
headquarters, the fifth district upstairs
and the fourth below. There have been
seemingly no prepared lists of legis-
ative candidates
