MANY CANDIDATES
FOR LEGISLATURE
Men Who Are Named for Places
on The Ticket From Both
Districts.

senator JOnn M IhurSIOn VIII al
dress a gathering of citizens at the
Orpheum this evening, which from in
dications win more than fill the seating
capacity of the house. This, practically
the first gun of the Republican cam
paign, will be one of the most remark
able speeches which will be heard dur
ing it. for Senator Thurston is known
as one of the foremost orators of the
party, in the nation. o
The meeting has been advertised
throughout the city and arrangements
have been made for music which will
relieve the waits during the evening
program. There will be but the one
speech, others taking up such time as
may not be occupied by Senator Thurs
ton with short talks. There will be
no translation of the address, but there
will be a digest in Hawaiian after the
conclusion of the remarks, by Judge
Wilcox or some other Hawaiian orator.
Chairman A G. NJ. Robertson will say
few words during the evenings dis
cussion.
The arrangements for the handling of
the crowd are practically complete.
There will be a large portion of the
hall reserved for ladies and these seats
will be held until at least 7:45 O'Clock,
after@which they will be thrown open to
all Corners. There will be an overflow
meeting in Fort street in the event
that the Orpheum Is more than crowded
by the people who wish to hear this
distinguished Westerner.
1t is expected that arrangements may
be made for an address during the Re
publican convention of Monday, either
by Senator Thurston or Senator Burton
of Kansas, who viii return from trip
to Hawaii TO-DAY. The convention will
have some time to devote to oratory
and it is the expectation of the leaders
that the visitors will recognize the inn
portance of a wide discussion of Ameri-
can citizenship, its privileges and du-
ties, and a broad address is looked for
by the leaders.
There was a meeting of the executive
committee of the Republican Central
Committee last evening, and some
routine business in connection with the
convention was done. The final ar
rangements will be made today by the
called meeting of the Republican Terri
torial Committee. The hall is now be-
ing arranged for the meeting and there
will be all the accessories of well
appointed convention.
Several names have been suggested
for the Craftsmanship. Among these are
A. N Kepoikai of Maui, Cecil Brown
of Oahu, w G.. Walker of Hawaii and
II. p. Baldwin of Maui, who will sit in
the convention bearing a Proxy from
Molokai.
Members of the party have made up
platforms which will be brought tor-
ward for consideration by the commit
tee on resolutions, and it is now GER
tain that the convention, which must
pass upon the rules recently adopted by
the Territorial Committee, will have
fight over the question of an open
primary.
There has been recently much discus
sion of the men who may be brought
forward for nomination in the seYeraI
districts of the island, for both the
lpper and the lower houses. Among the
many mentioned are the following:
