FUSION IS
NOW FIXED

Fusion between the Home Rulers and
the Democrats has been accomplished.
At a meeting ~ the members OF the
committees representing the parties
yesterday the agreement for the coming
together OF the bodies was signed, seat
ed and delivered. and there remains
only the ratification by the executive
committees of the two TO make IL eff
I fective.
/ The basis Of the fusion Is said 10 be
on its face two-thirds OF the Offices for
the Home Rulers and one-thlrd for the
| Democrats, this meaning Of course only
on the legislative ticket, for the will
cox has been accepted by the Demo-
Gratis as body. The members of the
minority party however are hopeful
that they will get more out OF the
fusion scheme than the mere one-tnird
OF the nominations, as the Home Rulers
have been led to taking up some Demo-
Gratis already, which will make the
divide more nearly on the basis of half
and half
Following the agreement there was
prepared list of the candidates which
will be submitted to each party for
ratification by the other. The Demo-
Rule committee and vice versa. 1t is
planned that this selection from the
list for the approval will be of a long
line of candidates from which the con-
Ventions will later select the runners,
will be made as soon as possible after
the Republicans have nominated their
ticket.
Members of the committees refused
to discuss the names which are most
likely to appear on the tickets of the
combination party, but it was SAID that
there would be very few men named
who We're In the legislature last time
This was insisted upon by the Demo-
Gratis and their victory has been de-
cided in this respect. This is said to
insure the retirement from public life
OF Prendergast, ana possibly of Paele
and Mossman. OF the two tickets =
one name certain is that of TCgarI
Caypless. who is to be sent to 4, sem
ate as the new leader, Wilcox J. wing
more faith in his ability to = lie sit
nations than even mis- faithful Kalau-
okalani.
OF the situation out Of the city
the settlements have It yet been
made. There is a ace that White

chance for Col. ruweu to come to
the senate. O. hawaii the senators
