-FOUR MEN SELECTED FOR THE
HOUSE - HOME RULERS TURN
DOWN PRENDERGAST.

The Democratic Central Committee
held meeting last night and made up
its slate for the fusion legislative tick
ct. One senator and four representa-
tives are the Democratic share of the
ticket, and the Home Rulers will name
the other two senators and eight rep
resentatiYes,r Prince David was the
Democratic choice for Senator last
night, and for the House the nomina-
tions were J. o. Carter Col. c. j. Nc
Carthy, S. NJ. Damon and Frank r..
Harvey.
There is much doubt about Damon's
candidacy. He announced some time
ago his Withdrawal from any political
activity, and may refuse nomination.
When seen this morning he refused to
discuss the matter at all, simply say
ing, Il am out of politics." Il is said
that Mccarthy will refuse to run il
Damon refuses. Carter has also to be
seen as to his willingness to run.
The Home Rule end of the ticket ex-
cept for the Senate, will contain the
names of most of their men who were
in the last house. For the Senate the
probable selections are Edgar Cayp-
less and c. b. Male, making the fusion
senatorial ticket consist of Prince Day.

Home Rulers of the last House, are
slated for nomination again. Prender-
CAST has been turned down" He will
probably be left in the cold, and the
next House will not have the benefit OF
his floods of eOquence. Prendergast
was chairman of the committee on
printing in the last House, and this
committees slow work in reporting
bills was largely responsible for the
f.,fl of CT
.DreiBF is another probable nominee.
ON Maui BILLY" CornweH will prob
ably be the man for the Senate. Sem
ator William White has been nominat-
ed by the Home Rulers, but this was
before the fusion was agreed upon, and
the senator is said to have intimated
his Willingness to Withdraw in favor of
Cornwell. Cornwell leaves today for
Maui, and the matter win probably be
settled while he is there.
The Democrats and Home Rulers
have not decided yet whether they will
hold separate conventions or meet to-
gether. If the conventions are separ-
ate they will be held on the same day,
and the nominations as agreed upon,
as far as party affiliations are concern
ed, will be made.
The Fourth District Depublican COM
mittee will meet in the Castle d Cooke
building TINS evening, TO name lhelr
candidates for the House. The leading
candidates for nominations are Frank
Andrade, John Lucas, r. w. Aylett,
Jonah Kumalae and w. w. Harris, and
these will probably be the ticket. Ay-
lett and Kumaae were Republican
members of the last House.
The Republican Central Committee
meets this evening at the party head
quarters, to organize and prepare for
the campaign. Senator Clarence Crab
be will probably be made permanent
chairman and there is talk of A. l.. c.
Atkinson or f. G.. Keen for secretary.
The committee may decide to move
the party hearuuarters to the new
Waity building on King street, as some
of the members want larger and more
centrally located party headquarters
than they now have.
