name of D. P. r. Isenberg he was Civ
ing to the convention a man who would
be tower of strength to the party.
He was man who had a great follow
ing among the Home Rulers and would
as well draw heavily from among the
ranks of the Democrats He had the
confidence alike of the capitalists and
the working men and no better senator
could be found on behalf of the peo-
pie of the Territory
Every precinct of the District sent
man to the front to second the nom
ination Of Isenberg and after this was
done the Fifth had its chance.
w. W. Goodale rose when the first
precinct was called and declared that
as the representative of the entire dis
trict he would place in nomination the
four candidates of the district who
alphabetically, were w. c.. Achi, G. H.
Huddy, John c. Lane and L. L. Nc
Candless
The recess for caucuses resulted in a
degree of disappointment on both sides.
The Fourth District men decided unan-
imously that F. c. Smith was entitled
to the seat from the sixth precinct
The Fifth District did not caucus at
all. w. C. Achi refused to call the
delegates together, although there was
a constant oemand for such action.
When the convention met and Chair
man Cooke announced the decision as
to Burgess, F. L. Hooss rose and made
a protest, saying it was shabby treat
ment to be accorded such a good Re-
publican. He said there was no more
active worker than DR.. Burgess and
that such action was unwise. J. A.
Gilman said this was admitted but that
there was no assurance that DR..
Burgess would be here to work. Chair
man Crabbe said it was purely mat
ter for the Fourth ana he would have
to recognize that Mr.. Smith was en-
titled to the seat.
The tellers then appointed were:
Fourth District: G. w. r. King, Jonah
Kumalae and Samuel Johnson; Fifth
District: j. L. Holt, r. Gilliland and
William Henry.
The chairman then announced that
there would be three candidates to be
voted for and that it would take a
majority vote to nominate. The votes
were found to be correct and the count
ing proceeded. There was little excite
ment during it's progress and it was not
until the announcement was made by
G. w. r. King that there was any
demonstration. The vote as declared
was Isenberg, 81; McCandless, 62 Achi,
81; Lane, 4S, and Huddy, 13.
Amid applause J. D. Avery, on behalf
of John c.. Lane, moved that the NOM
inations of Isenberg. Achi and McCand-
less be made unanimous. There were
cheers on all sides and the resolution
passed with the utmost enthusiasm.
Immediately there were cries of
speech" and D. P. r. Icenberg, whose
appearance was greeted with cheers,
arose. He said: "Our delegate has giv-
en- us our motto: 1t is Work I ask
every one to work. You have nominat-
ed us and now it is our duty to get
out and work in unison" This senti-
ment was echoed by both McCandless
and Achi.
On motion of Avery it was declared
the sense of the convention that the
commission to frame city and county
bill should be selected at once. The
convention then adjourned.
FIFTH DISTRICT REPRESENTA-
TIVES.
AS soon as the joint session had ad-
journed Chairman Achi called the con-
yention to order and the minutes of the
last meeting were read and approved.
Avery moved that the committee
break up into caucuses according to
representatives, so that there be a
chance to settle any differences. The
roll was called first and then the mo-
ton was passed.
After a series of caucuses the con-
vention reassembled and at once de-
termined upon their candidates.
The first and second precincts had
only one nominee and Nainoa was de-
clared by the convention unanimously

sixth precinct and he was nominated

ination of Henry =. Vida. There were

were called it was reported that ]. M.
