suspension of the rules was then agreed
upon and. the nomination of supervisors
at large was then begun.
Moses Kaaikaula nominated Starr
Kapu and Jesse Makainai: Sam Ka-
makaia nominated James II. Boyd,
Jesse Makainai and A. Fernandez;
James Davis nominated James H.
Boyd, Jesse Makainai and John H.
Wise.
Palau at this junction raised a howl
by declaring that he understood that
Makainai had declared he would not
run. There were howls of protest
from various delegates, Davis wanted
the nominations to close. Nobody paid
any attention to him. Jesse Makaiuai
jumped to the breach and announced
that Palau had been correct. Makai-
mai said that he had gone before the
convention last night as a candidate
for tax collector but the delegates had
not seen fit to nominate him and it
was therefore apparent that he was
not the choice of the people. He did
not consider it proper for him to run
for any other office. He would support
the ticket however. He wanted the
party to nominate good men for
glorious chance for victory presented
itself. "The tree was planted ten
years ago" concluded the speaker "and
the fruit is now ripe. All that Is
necessary for us to do is to nominate
good men and the ripe fruit will fall
into our hands"
The speaker did not state whether
the ten year old tree was bamboo
"a
to shink that 1t was big enough to
cover the party, for they applauded his
remarks very heartily and proceeded to
listen to some more nominations.
L. Sheldon nominated James IT.
Boyd, Charles Motley and John Is.
Wise. John Wise withdrew his name
saying he was not the choice of the
people He nominated Charles Motley,
A. Fernandez and James II. Boyd.
George Markham nominated James H.
Boyd, A. Fernandez and Frank Har-
vey.
The sound of Frank Harvey's name
fell with a dull sickening thud on the
ears of the delegates. Apparently
they were not in the humor to endorse
any body who had not come into the
Home Rule corral. Mavericks no
na tier whether they bore the Demo-
cratic brand or not were unpopular
with large number of the delegates.
HAS Harvey taken the oath of the
Home Rule party" shouted Sam Ka
makaia.
There were loud cries of "Aole" from
all parts of the hall. ]. p. Prendergast
stated that some time ago a committee
hah MI 10 Wit n
regard to securing his consent to run
as one of the supervisors at large on
the Home Rule ticket. Mr.. Harvey
had stated to the committee that he
did not care to run as one of the
supervisors at large but would accept
nomination as supervisor from the
Fifth district.
This information raised a protest
from the supporters of Harvey and
John Wise declared that Prendergast
was mistaken. Mr.. Harvey had stat
ed that he was willing to run but did
not have the necessary time to devote
to make the canvass for supervisor at
large If Mr.. Harvey did not have
the necessary time, continued Wsle, the
Fourth district delegates would will
ingly get out and work for him at
large.
A motion was then made to close the
nominations but the vote was inter
Iupted by David Kupihea moving to
take a recess until l p. m. This mo-
tion was lost and the other motion to
close nominations prevailed.
Charles Motley then jumped into the
breach with a speech that partook
considerably of the nature of a sur
prise Motley started out as If he in
tended to withdraw his name. In fact
practically every body in the hall ex-
cept possibly Motley himself thought
that he would thrust aside the super
visoral crown. Motley referred first to
Frank Harvey. He said that Harvey
was a good man and then branched off
with a reference to the Motley case
that is pending in the courts. Motley
declared that if he accepted the nom
ination 1t might cost him 100000. But
no doubt moved by the higher sense OF
duty to his constituents. Motley rose
superior to the possible loss of a $500,
900 bagatelle, and announced that II
the delegates wanted to nominate him
for supervisor at large he would accept
but II they did not desire to nominate
him for that office and preferred tc
have him run for one of the district
supervisors, he was ready to do so.
This noble sacrifice on the part OF
Motley closed all further discussion
