HLo. Hawaii. May is-Hno Home
Rulers attempted 60 steal a march on
both Republicans and Democrats by an
Early primary. at which were nomi-
mated on the independent ticket recog
n zed leaders OF the two great par
les. Some ~ the candidates for the
Legislature chosen by the Home Rulers
lad been picked for places on the Re
publican ticket, and the leaders of the
Republican party say that the prior
action OF the Home Rulers will have no
eject upon their own plans, as they
intend to nominate the men they wish,
even. though they already have places
upon the Home Rule ticket.
The convention of the Home Rulers
was held at Puueo church last week.
nd a complete Legislative ticket placed
in the field
Speeches were made by friends OF the
candidates as their names were pre-
sented. and 1t In a noticeable fact that
among those named were men from
each OF the three parties in the Terri
tory. Men who at the last election
we're candidates on the Republican.
Home Rule or Democratic ticket were
placed in nomination whether or no
they had permitted the use of their
names. They were, for the Senate:
Few. S. l.. Desha, John T. Baker, r. NJ.
Makakao. l. X. Lalakea, ]. d. Paris.
Palmer Wood. A. d. Loebenstein. ].
t'alau, II. s. Richard and Sam Kau-
hane.
A number of ballots were taken be-
fore a selection could be made. and
when the final was taken John II. Ba-
ker and Palmer Wood seemed to be the
choice of the convention. Governor
h'aker Is at the head of the Hawaiian
Republicans OF this district. and IL t.
not believed he will accept the nom
nation, even though he should get the
endorsement of his organization.
Palmer Wood IL a young man Of cd
ucation and character and is engaged
IN ranching in Kohala. He was a Dem
ecratic candidate at the last election.
The rush OF candidates for the House
was slightly less than that for the
Senate. and party members Who failed
10 get nominations for their friends TO
the Senate again pressed their claim
Among the names presented were: J.
". Kamoku, David Ewaliko, William
Nailima, Il. NJ. Makakau, II. s. Rick
ard, M. Il. Kealawao, ]. X. Paahau, ].
Matoon and David Kelipio.
A number Of ballots were taken be-
fore result was reached, the fortunate
ones being j. N. Kamoku, David Eva
liko, William Nailima and David Kc-
lipio. The first and last are members
# the Hawaiian Republican Club. and
at least one of them, David Kelipio,
will receive it's endorsement in the reg
ular Republican primaries. A promi-
nent Hawaiian Republican says his
ators and Lewis and Kelipio for the
lower House. Home Rulers in Hama
kua and Puma will name their canii-
dates, and 1t is not known whether
they will select others or endorse those
named by the Hilo convention last
Thursday. This latter event Is not
likely as neither Hamakua nor Puma
will consent to Hilo having too large a
representation.
Following is the vote:
Representatives - Nailima, z: Eva
iika. 6; Kamoku, 6; Kelipio. 4: Mat
toon, /; Richard, l.
