REPUBLICANS
IN CONVENTION
TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION Eff
FECTED AND COMMITTEES
APPOINTED.

The Republican County Convention
began its work last night in the Pro-
gress block, but did not get any farther
than effecting a temporary organiza-
ton. recess was taken to 1880 this
evening. Unless day sessions are held
the delegates are likely to be some
time in getting through with their
work. A. G. NJ. Robertson was elect
ed temporary chairman and Ben Fab
Ian temporary secretary, and r. N.
Boyd was chosen for Interpreter.
Clarence L. Crabbe, chairman of the
Territorial Central Committee called
the convention to order. But instead
of calling for nominations for tenn
porary chairman, he said he would APP
point a committee on credentials con-
sisting of four members, two from
each district, and at once named j.
H. Boyd and Charles Hustace, Jr,
from the Fourth and Il. c. Winston
and W. c. Achi from the Fifth. This
committee looked over the credentials
that were handed to them by Crabbe,
and then reported that they were all
in order and that the delegates named
be seated. Crabbe put this motion
Huka who a few days ago declared to
the Home Rule Central Committee
that at heart he was still a Home
Ruler. 1t also seated George Kaia,
who Is still an active member of the
! Home Rule central committee, attend
| ing it's meetings since he was elected
a delegate to the Republican conven-
ton. No protest was raised against
either
Crabbe entertained a motion for the
appointment of Robert N. Boyd as in
| terpreter, and another one to require
those holding proxies to file them with
the secretary. When the convention
had completed it's temporary organiza-
! ton all but the adoption of rules,
| Crabbe called for nominations for
| temporary chairman. The convention
had stood for his usurpation of it's
own prerogative to organize itself up
to this point. Then Senator Achi OBJ
jected, and was supported in his OBJ
lection by Kaulukou. but Crabbe ruled
the objections out of order.
w. H. Coney, who as secretary
of the Central Committee acted as
temporary secretary of the conven-
ton, called the roll. o. C. Swain
held the proxy of Sam Johnson,
w. H. Kailimi that of E. w. Devau-
chelle and ]. H. Boyd that of Duke,
Kahanamoku.
On motion of Lorrin Andrews the
work of temporary organization wn.s
taken up. A. L. C. Atkinson was
nominated with Robertson for chair
man but declined and the choice of
Robertson was unanimous Fabian
was elected secretary in the same way,
other nominees Withdrawing.
Senator Achi raised a point of order
during the nominations. He declar-
ed that the chairman of the central
committee had no right to preside in
the convention and that the first or
der of business should have been the
selection of a temporary chairman.
Achi said the central committee was
trying to run the convention. Kaulu-
kou was of the same opinion and pro-
posed electing a permanent chairman
at once, saying that all the work of a
temporary chairman had already been
done.
Senator Crabbe said that the re-
marks of Achi were uncailed for and
that under a resolution passed by the
Central committee it was the duty OF
the chairman of the central committee
to preside over the convention until
it was organized. Achi wanted to dis
cuss the rules but was declared out
of order.
Lorrin Andrews moved that a COM
mittee, consisting of one delegate from
each precinct, be appointed to draw UP
