Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1903-09-22

lnefe are three DeInOcTullC CdHui-
dates for county officers In the field. {
At mass meeting in Wavorley hall
last evening the following Supervisors
ticket was nominated:
Fourth District-Col. G. J. Mccarthy L
Fifth District-Frank Harvey.
At Large-F. j. Tesla.
The hall was filled when Frederick I
Turrill of the Democratic Central Com
mittee raped for order.
Turrill stated that the Central Com |
mittee was of the opinion that success
would perch on the banner Of Democ-
racy II a candidate in each district and
one at large we're nominated for Super
visors.
Would the Democrats present adopt
the decision OF the Central Committee
or was anyone desirous OF being heard
in the matter.
G. w. Ashford inquired as to the
reasons for this plan OF the Central
Committee. He favored two Supervis-
ors In the Fourth District and two at
large.
Ashford did not think the Home Rul-
ers had any chance Waikiki OF Nuuanu
street. He thought the Home Rulers
would be willing to adopt any sugges-
lions of the Democratic party to help
them out in the Fourth. He did not
think the Home Rule party would OBJ
ject to this. There would be no fusion,
as such, of Home Rulers and Demo-
Gratis Personally. he could not favor
fusion. II was not necessary. 1t would
be enough IL the Democrats should
make up a party ticket, depending on
the Home Rulers to support 1t, and
, IL the Democrats did not attempt to hog
the whole business they might get the
whole Home Rule support He thought
there would be as good a show for two
candidates as one in the Fourth. II
the Home Rulers would refrain from
doing anything in the Fourth, the
Democrats would not do anything In
the Fifth. They were all opposed I,
the Republicans; that should be thu
understanding II the Home Ruler
would not meet the views of the Dem
ocrats it would mean Republican
Board OF Supervisors.
Ashford stated that, from a lega
point of view, he thought the Fourt'
Representative District was not en-
!. titled to two Supervisors and two II
the Fifth Representative District.
The County Act provided five repre-
sentative districts for Oahu and Ash
; ford thought the Legislature had mad
y big mistake and failed to carry on
n its intentions. He believed that tn
Legislature meant TO assign two to tn
Fourth Representative District, but a!
signed them to the Fourth District II
stead The same was true with N
other district. Ashford thought thel
would be litigation over the matter.
If our own candidates are electe
we need not raise the question" Sa
Ashford but II the others are elect'
then we will certainly raise an obie
ton.
Col Mccarthy, arguing for only thr
candidates, said certain Republican
were disgruntled over the nominatio
OF Hooking and Gilman. II the Dem
Gratis put up one man In the Fourl
these dlsgruntled Republicans wou
prob support the Democratic nomln'
Ashfords motion for four candidat
was lost and it was decided to Ia
only three.
Dr. NobIitt moved that Permane
Chairman TUrrill appoint a commit
X OF Ave TO draft a platform. 1t wo'
h not do TO go before the publie with'
- a platform.
McGonigls wanted to reafirm
last regular Democratic platform
the motion was lost.
DR. Noblitt, Col. Mccarthy, w.
} Wilder, II. II. Trent and J. II. Flyn
