DEMOCRATS WANT THE DELE
GATE AS THEIR MAMIE IS
BETWEEN TWO FIRES-wHAT
REPUBLICANS ARE DOING.

viii Robert w. Wilcox endorse the
Democratic platform and declare him
self a Democrat? is a question that Is
being discussed a good deal among To-
cal Democracy. The delegate is the
center of some very lively discussion
in two quarters. One is the Home Rule
committee which he did not consult
before he went into the fusion deal.
and the other is the Democratic par
ty in which there are many who de-
mand that Wilcox run as a Democrat
if he wants Democratic votes
The Home Rule party committee has
not yet taken any action in the mat
ter. The fusion so far consists of sim
ply the deal puJ up by Wilcox alone
and agreed TO by the Democrats who
attended the Democratic meeting last
Monday evening in WaverIey hail. IL
Wilcox does endorse the Democratic
platform, when it Is made up, and de-
clare himself a Democrat, he may bave
further trouble in the Home Rule COM
mittee. If he does not, he will certain
ly have trouble with lot Of Demo-
Gratis who do not propose to support
another party's candidate.
In Republican ranks there is talk to-
day of 9. a. Long for Senator from
Oahu. He is in The Fourth district,
from which it is understood that one
senator is to be named. In the Fifth,
where two senators are likely to be put
up, Senator Kanuha is talked of. Both
are KuOkoa men, who bolted with Gu
pid from WilcoXs Home Rule conven-
ton.
The Fifth District can have two of
the senators to be nominated on Oahu
this time by the RepuOncan District
Conventions in joint session, if the
Fifth can agree upon the men, This
was decided in caucus of the Fourth
District last night, but the committee
men of the Fifth only kept up a warm
scrap, in accordance with their repu-
tation, over the matter of a choice.
The Lane-Huddy faction is lighting
hard against the nomination of Achi
and McCandless for the Senate, and
some of them have also sent up a howl
because Winston was placed on the
| Central Committee. I'VE have 16 votes
in the District Convention" said Char
ley Clarke, "and they won't give us
any representation on the committee.
If they don't we shall withdraw and
let them try to elect Achi and McCand-
less. There will be no Republicans
elected in the Seventh II this policy
keeps up"
The Fourth District Republican Com
mittee convened in executive session
last evening. A communication from
/ the Fifth calling for a joint convention
of the two bodies and asking for the
! appointment of a committee on ar
! rangement was first taken up and act
| ed upon. Chairman Cooke nominated
James Mott, G. b. Mcclellan and VIII
| liam Aylett for that purpose.
The committee then went into exc
| cutive session for the purposes of con-
sidering a proposal from the Portu-
guese Political Club in which Camara
| was announced as sole choice of that
| organization. A lengthy and animated
| discussion resulted in the resolution Of
| the committee to insist upon receiving
! a list of more than one name from
| which they could choose the man they
wanted. 1t was further decided that
! should the Joint districts in the COM
mittee convention agree upon two can
| didates for the Senate, those nominees
| should be appointed without protest.
