10 was late when the Home Rulers
eot together and % took more than two
hours for them a. finish their work
There Mere several matters preliminary
To the final action which took time.
but 30 was the nomination which APP
pealed To the meeting with most force.
When the question came up. Emmeluth
gained the floor and at once began to
read a report which was alleged to
come from the minority of the body.
1t was discovered that only the name
Of Emmeluth appeared on the report.
and that Kalauokalani was absent. still
the paper was received and placed on
file. The report went over the reasons
why Beardslee should be nominated.
1t set forth that he was n staunch
city and county government man and
that he was heart and soul with the
Home Rulers in their schemes; that he
was endorsed by labor men and that
he would receive strong support in the
Fourth from men OF all parties.
But the name OF August Dreier was
received with acclaim and the demands
TO vote were so numerous that Emme-
luth saw that he was doomed to de-
feat and with the dramatic assertion
that he had been made the victim of "A
packed meeting. he strobe from the
hall.
When he had departed there was a.
demand for a vote from the other mem
bers of the committee, but no one APP
peared TO want TO make any talk over
the nomination, so the name of Dreier
was put up, every vote was cast for
him, aud Chairman Kaulia declared
him the nominee OF the party The vote
was made so hearty by reason of let
ter from the candidate written to the
chairman Of the committee, Prince
Cupid, in which he accepted the plat
form OF the party and promised an ac-
tive campaign. While this was going
on, the secretary was running over the
minutes Of the past meetings and find
ing the roster OF the committee. dis
covered that at no time had Mr.. EN-
meluth been member of It, but that
the place which he had been filling
was in reality that of solomon Niche
uia.
When this fact was made known
there were several remarks of "A hum
orous nature INDUCED in, but nothing
was said which would indicate any
hard feeling over the unsuccessful
fight for the place.
REPUBLICANS SEEK \ MAN.
There will be a meeting of the com
mittee this afternoon. at which time
probably action will be taken. and the
entire Fourth District committee will
meet Saturday afternoon. \ plan was
put ON foot yesterday BY "A party Of
the young Republicans to hold meet
Ing and name young man, who would
be presented 10 the district committee
for endorsement.
Unless this plan takes form this
morning IL seems Likely that Col. j. H.
Fisher or 4. Y. Gear viii be chosen to
make the race. There Is, however,
faction In the committee which still adj
heres 10 the cause of Beardslee. II the
Home Rulers would not nominate n
Republican they insist II would be good
politics to name Home Ruler as the
man who was. left holding the bag, de-
clared himself in accepting the plat
form of the Home Rulers.
