CANDIDATES NAMED
JOINT MEETING OF FOURTH AND
FIFTH DISTRICTS.
Isenberg. McCandless and Achi Are
Nominated For the Senate-The
Fifth Selects Men For the House.

w. C. Achi, D. p. r. Isenberg and L.
l.. McCandless were nominated for the
Senate last night as candidates of the
Third Senatorial district by the Repub-
lican joint convention of the Fourth
and Fifth Representative districts, and
they are the Republican candidates for
the upper house from the island of
Oahu. For Representatives the Fifth
district nominated Nainoa, Benjamin
Naukana, Rev. j. NJ. Ezera, Henry G.
Vida, ]. l.. Kaulukou, James Shaw. The
Fourth district did not name represen-
tatives and will meet tonight to do so.
The convention was called to order in
Progress hall by Senator Clarence
Crabbe, as chairman of the Territorial
Central Committee, and j. P. Cooke
moved that he be made permanent
chairman. The motion carried, and
| William SaVidge was chosen for secre-
| tary and Judge Wilcox for interpreter.
The business of the convention was
done very quietly and without any
! spirited contests. A question arose as
! to the proxy of DR.. Burgess, sent by
mail to Frank L. Hoogs. Burgess was
regularly elected but was not able to
! return in time for the convention, and
he sent his proxy by the Korea. In the
meantime the committee had declared
| Burgess seat vacant and elected F. 9.
Smith. Hogs presented the proxy and
! claimed the seat. G. b. Mcclellan NOV
! ed that the proxy be not received and
| that Smiths election stand. On the
| suggestion of Brooks the matter was
temporarily postponed. Later in the
| evening the Fourth district members
| reported in favor of disregarding the
proxy of Burgess and seating their own
| substitute rather than the proxy of the
man elected at the primaries Hoogs
! protested declaring that it was shabby
! treatment of one of the party's strong
! workers.
The unfair deal which ended in un-
seating DR.. Burgess was engineered by
| G. B. Mcclellan. This young man was
! formerly in the employ of the Hawaiian
! Electric Company. During brief
! period he raised a crop of enemies for
| that concern. Those who know him
state that if he is gwen any authority
! in the Republican Party he will raise
a larger crop of enemies for the party
| a larger crop than he raised for the
! Hawaiian Electric Co.Npany-by his
| arbitrary methods.
Prince KuhiO entered the hall early
! in the evening and was called to the
platform, the chair appointing d. P. r.
Isenberg and Judge Kaulukou to escort
! him. The Prince was called on for
| speech and spoke a few words, declar-
! ing that the time had come for hard
campaign work. Col. Sam Parker was
also called up, and spoke in a similar
strain.
The Fifth district, as expected, failed
| to come to any agreement. When the
! time for caucus came, Senator Achi, the
! chairman, would not call the delegates
| to order and W. w. Goodale, in behalf
| of the district, presented the names of
the four nominees, Achi, Lane, Hubby
| and McCandless. The Fourth district
! held a caucus and voted on Mark p.
Robinson and Isenberg. The vote was
p to 20 in favor of Isenberg and his
| selection was made unanimous.
The three choices of the convention
were not apparent until nearly the end
! of the vote, though Hubby dropped out
| of the race early. The vote was: Isen-
! berg, 81; McCandless, 50; Achi, 81; Lane
| As; Huddy 49, The three successful
candidates Isenberg, McCandless and
! Achi, were called upon for speeches
! and each made few remarks
The Fifth district met to nominate re-
| representatives. Immediately after the ad-
| tournament of the joint convention.

cincts. Naukana from the third, fourth

! 2; SeabuTy u.
