Local Conventions-Lively Fight in
One Precinct.
With much talk of "slates" in many
of the precincts and the prospects of
a lively contest in the seventh precinct
OF the fifth district, which is likely to
| witness the end of McCants Stewart s
| term 'out of politics. Republicans of
honolulu are preparing today for nom
nations in the first primary elections
under the new party rules. The only
general alignment of factions is on the
question of immediate demand for city
and county government. Aside from
this, the issues are those of personal
rivalry for hofTors.
The procedure this evening in all the
clubs is simply that of making nomin-
atlons. There are no restrictions,
however, on the number of candidates
and in. some precincts there will prob
ably be quite a list to be considered
during the week intervening before
! the evening for elections. who's to
| be nominated in the SEVENTH" a poll
! tician of that interesting precinct of
! the fifth district was asked this morn
ing, and he answered Everybody"
in the second precinct of the fourth
| there is a slate 1t was made up at a
meeting held two days ago. They will
so into the club meeting tonight and
expect to carry it. 1t is made up of
| representatives of both the Republican
! factions, which appear to have reach
| ed a condition Of highly satisfactory
! harmony
! The second is a very large precinct.
| 1t has ten delegates to the district
convention, and Z to the Territorial
convention. The "slate" men on the
! latter ticket are Col j. H. Fisher, T.
J F.! Lansing, Col. j. w. Jones, Lorrin
| Andrews, A. j. Campbell, William Ay-
| lett, John Kamanoulu. On the district
convention ticket the following names
| are mentioned as likely to be the club
| nominees: j. Crozier, j. p. Cooke, j.
A. Kennedy, ]. Lucas, c.. b. McClel-
| Ian, ]. Gilman, j. WaterhOuse, j. ].
! HNghes, Fred j. Church, j. H. Craig,
| LdC Ables, c. Hustace, e. ID. Tenney,
John Ouderkirk, Frank Hustace.
| Thsugh tonight only nominations are
to be made, in precincts where there
is unity, the result will be practically
l an election. There can be no nomina-
tions after tonight, and if the nomin-
ations are closed in any precinct with
only one ticket up that ticket will of
course be elected.
In the seventh precinct fight, the re-
suit may be the return to the central
committee of T. McCants Stewart, who
resigned some time ago and announced
himself out of politics. Stewart, John
| Lane and w. r. Sims are talked of as
leaders of a faction headed by E, G.
| Winston, DR.. Huddy and William Hen
ry. 1t is said that Stewart wants to
return to the Territorial committee
with his district solid behind dhim, ap-
proving his course while on the COM
mittee There are about $50 voters in
the Kalihi detention camp, who will
cut a big feature in this contest. They
are claimed as Stewart men,
Stewart admitted this morning that
he was taking an interest in the fight,
and had had consultations with others
interested He declared that he would
not run for delegate to the convention,
however, though confident that the
precinct would elect him if he should
want to go. AS for the central COM
mittee, he might be connected with
that body again in some way.
One proposition on which the fifth
district is solid generally is that the
district ought to have two of the Sen
ators to be nominated. Senators Car
ter, Achi and Kanuha are to retire and
the party will have to, name three sue
cessors. The three senators who re-
main in office, Crabbe, Brown and ka-
lauokalani, are all Fourth district
men, and some of the fifth men think
that all the new nominees ought tC
come from the fifth, but they are will
ing to take two and be satisfied A. L.
C. Atkinson, John c. Lane and DR.
Huddy are being talked of as nominees
for the Senate.
In the 4th precinct of the Fourth Dis
trict the names of A. G.. NJ. Robertson
A. V. Gear Senator Clarance Crabbe
and S. r. ChillingwOrth are mentioned
as delegates. There has been no spe-
cial activity in the precinct and here
as. in number of others, the romina-
tions will be largely the result of inspI-
ratiOns of the moment, on the 0art of
those who attend the meetings.
The 9Th precinct of the Fourth dis
trlct will meet in the Hawaiian Star
office. In this precinct the names ol
: Captain 1, Bray, Hermann Kruger y
H. Wolf, Fred Smith and DR.. G. w
Burgess are mentioned. A new presl-
dent of this club will have to be chosen
Frank Hoogs the present presi lent
having mOYed out of the precin2-.
Senator era bbe has Withdrawn from
the delegateship campaign, and will re-
tain his seatsin the Senatr. Tns sHnti-
ment among many Republicans W9s
that the senator's resignation would be
inadviseable in that it would force ths
party to fight for an Office 1t hal al
ready, and only needed to hold hon
this reason Crabbe has stated that nC
will not be up for delegate.
Sam Parker, A. G. M. Robertson
Mark p Robinson and w. o. Smith arc
the remaining Republicans talkel o
for delegate. With the exception O
Parker, II Is thought that al are Will
; ing to run. Parker has STAGED seNcra
: times that he would not go into thj
! campaign again, but some oC the party
men are still bringing forward his
name. He returned today on he
? Mauna Loa and may be eXpes esLa1 tC
state his position finally before long.
