| be appointed to feel the pulse OF the
! Republicans of the Fourth District
and to ascertain whether or no they
wished to put man in the field. They
could report at meeting to be held
Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Fisher stated that while he
might favor an adjournment until
! Monday afternoon in order to give a
committee time to examine the feel.
ing of the Fourth District. he felt that
the directions from the Central Com.
mittee were mandatory and that these
should be carried out. The man put
up by the Republican should be in ev.
cry way the representative of the peo.
pie of the whole Island. No one could
foresee the future and 1t might be
necessary for the Republicans to have
every man possible in the Legislature.
There might be bills passed that would
be vetoed by the Governor and It
would then be necessary for the Re.
publicans to have every available man
in the ranks of the legislators.
MIR. Fisher went on to say that he
was very sorry tnat the Governor had
seen fit to call the special election,
but since this had been DONE there
was nothing left but to fight. The
Republicans had no right to let the
election go by the board. There had
been those who had stated that they
would not put up for election ex.
penses. Very WE'LL" said Mr.. Fisher,
the only thing for us to do is to fight
anyway and II we are defeated. then
the defeat will not be on us but on
the people who would not put up the
money" However, he was content to
allow the matter to go over until Mon.
day IL such was the will of the com.
mittee.
The motion Of Mr.. Boyd for the ap.
pointment of committee was then put
and carried unanimously. The follow.
ing committee was then appointed by
the chair: J. II. Fisher, Andrew
Brown, DR.. Waldo Burgess, ]. d. Nc.
Weigh and J. Keoholiii. Their report
will be made Monday.
The next matter to be brought up
before the committee was the filling
OF vacancies. II was announced by the
secretary that A. +. Gilfillan and Da.
vid Nahoolewa had both died since
the last meeting of the committee had
been held and that Geo. +. Mcleod
had left the city to take up his per
manent residence on the Coast.
Mr.. Fisher came forward with q
brilliant idea which was received
amidst great laughter although 1t was
perfectly sound. He proposed and
moved that Messrs. Brown and Lorrin
Andrews, who had been endowed with
only half vote apiece, be given full
votes, thus accounting for one Of the
vacancies. The motion carried unani
mously and the chair announced that
Messrs. Brown and Andrews had Eeer
made full men.
The consideration of the other two
vacancies was continued over until
the meeting Monday. afternoon as the
sentiment was expressed at the meet
ing by c. b. Wilson and others that
the labor men should be consulted as
to man from their ranks to fill one
of the vacancies. They had made ad
yances and had asked that they
might be represented on the commit
tee. This was looked upon most fav,
orably by the committee. as the labor
vote is one that will have a telling
effect in future elections.
The meeting thereuopn adjourned
until Monday afternoon at 1880 o'clock.
