TOO GENEROUS
TO ITSELF
THE FOURTH DISTRICT NOT GRE
DITED BY SOME CRITICS WITH
TOO MUCH MODEsTY.

There will be a general caucus of the
Republican convention delegates of the
Fourth District tomorrow evening be-
ginning at T:30 to discuss candidates
before the convention. The meeting
will be held in the hall over Castle e.
Cookies offices. The delegates from
all the precincts are expected to attend
and there will be efforts to outline
plan of work and agree upon the dis
trict's choices for office.
The Fourth District and especially
the second precinct of the Fourth is
putting forward too many candidates,
say some of the delegates from other
parts of the city and the resulting
situation may come to be of some
danger to some of the men who have
been put up. Sheriff Brown is re-
garded as certain of a nomination, also
Assessor Pratt, while Rawlins is in the
lead for district attorney. A. ]. Camp
bell and Clarence NJ. White for auditor
and Lucas, Ouderkirk and Hooking are
candidates for supervisors most Of
them from the ambitious second and
there are mutterings from other pre-
| cincts. The eighth precinct, too, it
| ting its light shine.
Joseph G. Pratt is a new candidate
for county clerk, making the fight at
least four-cornered. Vida is said to
have thirty or more votes pledged,
while Harry Murray's friends have
been pushing his candidacy quite hard
Savidge is also still in the fight.
H. Huka, the Republican delegate
who was fired from the Home Rule
executive committee yesterday, was a
warm campaigner in the recent prima-
rles. Huka is said to have retired
from the Home Rule meeting with a
statement that at heart he was still a
Home Ruler, but the committee
wouldn't accept that explanation.
Huka was hooted and hissed during
the campaign, when he made a Repub-
team speech. The crowd yelled traitor"
and "snake" at him, but he made a
fiery Republican grafton even if his
heart was with the Home Rulers.
The Home Rulers have changed their
oahu convention date to September 81.
1t is said that Theresa has a slate
which she will probably try to force on
| the convention, and she has generally
been quite successful in controlling the
party this year. The doings of the
party are kept very secret 1t is un-
derstood that the final selections of
candidates will be made when the
Home Rulers have a look at the Re-
| publican ticket.
The Republican convention Is eX-
pected to name a county central COM
mittee, which will be a new party or
ganization. There was some talk of
making Senator Crabbe chairman of
= this committee and having the MEM
| bership much the same as the member
| ship of the existing territorial commit
tee, or the district committees of oahu,
| but it Is now proposed to have an en-
tirely different membership, and CTabbe
says he will not be an officer or mem
| Der of the new committee.
at Is better to have the new com
mittee entirely separated from the Ter
ritorial committee" said Senator
| Crabbe, land as long as / am a mem
! Der of the Territorial committee | don
want to be on the county committee
| think It would be a good plan to have
the new committee composed of men
who are not on the other committee, as
