ONAH KALANIANAOLE was
81 nominated by the Home Rulers
last night at Fosters Hall, for
member of the Legislature, to succeed
the late Archibald f. Gilfllan. The
nomination was made after there had
been demand that James Quinn take
the nomination, which he refused alb
soutely to do. There were no other
names mentioned.
There was plenty of incident to the
meeting, as there were any number 0c
things done before the nomination was
taken up, as the very last thing con-
sidered. There was resolution en-
dorsing Wilcox's leper settlement bill
which had to be withdrawn; there was
a very warm discussion of the letters
Secretary Cooper, and more than
enough talk over the makeup OF the
program of the mass meeting, which 10

a genial snub handed to the newly
created central committee, which was
told in few words to go way back

had considered all questions of reor-

Perhaps the most distinguishing fea-

The first business OF the evening was

fortunately for the new central COM
mittee, owing to the absence Of Prince
Cupid, and sthe fact that his closest
friends ere both on the central and
mass meeting committees, there was
a confounding of the two bodies. The
result was that there was not only

sideration of the mass meeting pro

preston that there was only one com

the club organizations back. as well.
for later consideration.
When the matter of the report OF
the meeting committee came up there
was an uproar almost from the start
John Emmeluth reported that there
was not a list OF the probable speakers
made up, and Carlos Long told what
