THE RESOLUTIONS.

Il Secretary Coney complied. The reso-
lutions prayed to be adopted provided
for meetings of precinct clubs on Aug.
2S to nominate delegates, for election
at primaries on Sept. 5, to county con-
ventions on day left blank.
Mr.. McCandless asked IL the rules
and regulations were not sufficient
without muddling themselves up with
new rules.
Mr. Winston asked II there was any
thing in conflict with the rules there.
Mr.. McCandless did not think so and
believed some of the suggestions good,
but could not see why they could not
work. under the old rules.
! Mr.. Fisher stated he intended, If the
resolutions passed, to move for COM
mittee to draft a new article covering
county organization. He saw no harm
in adopting the resolutions.
Mr.. Kepoikai said If they could not
adopt the resolutions let them call
Territorial convention.
Mr.. Lane moved. seconded by Mr..
Winston, that the resolutions be adopt
ed.
FOURTH DISTRICT IGNORED.
Mr.. Aylett said he was in favor of
the resolutions, but he thought it was
nothing but right that the two dis
trcts of oahu ought to be consulted.
He would move for the appointment of
committee of five, three from the
| Fourth and two from the Fifth dis
trict, to consider the resolutions and
report at a later meeting.
Mr. Kepoikai thought the previous
speaker was inconsistent.
Mr.. Fisher regarded the resolutions
as only a temporary expression Of
opinion until a new article was adopted.
Perhaps it would be sufficient to pass
a resolution that conventions be held
on a certain day. What was wanted
was an expression of opinion that the
conventions should be held next month.
Mr.. McCandless asked what was the
matter of appointing a committee to
report next Saturday night.
Mr.. Winston treated the resolutions
as but an expression of opinion which
would not bind the party except pend
ing further action.
Mr.. McCandless passed compliment
to the energy of the Fifth district peo-
pie, but thought it not necessary to
have a four months campaign. He
wanted little time for his own inter-
ests, having been doing party work for
five months. Let the proposed commit
tee report Wednesday night If Satur-
day was too far away
Mr.. Fisher felt the conditions must be
met EVEN ut the expense of n long cam
paign. The Home Rulers We're at work
pledging voters right and left There
was no four months campaign involv
ed. 1t was proposed to have the con-
ventions on Sept. 8 and the county cleo
tions We're to be held on November 3.
OUTSIDER PROTESTS.
Mr.. Birbe, a Fifth district spectator,
arose saying he did not wish to butt in,
but he should like to know who au-
thorzed those Fifth district members
to draft resolutions for the Territorial
Committee.
Mr.. Kahaulelio was the only one to
notice the interruption. he challenging
the speaker as he rose.
NO GAG RULE.
Mr.. Kahaulelio moved the previous
question.
President Crabbe called him down
sharply, saying:
I'VE have no previous question here
and then there is no danger of breaking
up In row. There must be no restric-
ton on free debate here"
Mr. Fisher moved an amendment to
the resolutions, for committee to
draft a new article for governing coun-
ty organization.
Mr.. Kepoikai moved an amendment
to the amendment, that the commit
tee report back next Monday week.
j. ID. Avery asked for permission to
speak as one who had assisted in franz
ing the resolutions, which being grant
ed he claimed that Article of the rules
was followed in the proposals.
Il. McCants Stewart n Home Ruler
adviser, also asked the privilege OF
speaking as signer OF the petition.
He spoke at some length, the nub of
his discourse being that he credited
Mr.. Olepau with what he called "the
inspiration" OF the scheme
AMENDMENT DEFEATED.
On a call OF the ayes and noes. Mr..
Fishers amendment received only the
| affirmative voice of Senator McCand-
less. When Mr.. Fishers name was
