FOR FAILURE TO REGISTER

hands. He said last evening that
George Davis had volunteered to look
up the law this morning, with the be-
lief that there was point which
might be brought in for the benefit of
the candidate. He said also that the
whole matter of his citizenship under
the kingdom would be investigated, and
he would not permit the party to suffer
without making struggle.
The discovery that August Dreier's
name was not on the registry lists was
made Saturday at the meeting of the
Territorial Committee with the Fourth
District Committee, to arrange a plan
FOR the campaign. While several men,
bers were waiting for others to appear
the suggestion was made that Mr..
Dreier was not eligible, and Immediate
ly there was searching for the poll
lists of the second precinct of the
Fourth District. These showed conclu-
sively that his name was not on the
list, and inquiry at the United States
District Court showed further that he
was naturaliZed only on November 16,
1900. or ten days after the holding OF
the last general election. At that time
Mr.. Dreier renowned his allegiance to
the German Emperor and was made
citizen of the United States. Prior to
that he had held denization papers UNI
der the Kingdom of Hawaii, and was
member of the Legislature in 1892.
The Fourth District Committee had
held a meeting Saturday morning and
nominated Mr.. w. w. Harris as the
Republican candidate as agreed upon,
and the later meeting was simply to
urge activity and arrange for making
the fight There was some discussion,
the general opinion being that the
Fourth District Committee should get
70 work and use this election for the
purpose of strengthening the organiza-
ton. Chairman kennedy of the Terri
torial Committee and ]. =. Cooke urged
this course, saying that the district
should be thoroughly organized. A
Fifth District member wanted the Ter
ritorial Committee to run the cam
paign, but he was left without support,
the others agreeing that the local body
was quite competent. After the discus
sion two vacancies were filled on mo-
ton Of Senator Crabbe, by the election
of l.. a. Mott-Smith from the third
precinct and w. c. King from the
Fourth The chair then made the fol-
lowing announcement of committees,

Candidate Harris was present and
made few remarks, and 1t was decid-
cd that there should be held another
| joint meeting on Monday evening, and
| that the Fourth District Committee

shed had been withdrawn from general
