mated by the Fourth District to run on

place of c. ]. Hutchins, resigned
Goth gentlemen were present at the
meeting which was held in waverley
Hall, and accepted the honor conferred
upon them. C. ]. Hutchins made a
speech in which he regretted that he
was unable to run. having withdrawn
at the request of the coast firm for
which he is agent here stating that he
would like to have run as a protest
against the Carter administration, also
against the Republican convention for
what had taken place at its meeting
in Progress Hall. referring to the Cecil
Brown incident.
Mr.. waller was nominated by Stephen
Tmauma and Mr.. Langston by Fred
Turrill. Mr.. Waller. in accepting, said
he was not much of speechmaker,
but that he felt honored at being asked
to head the ticket of the Democrats
with Frank Harvey. He said he would
support the entire Democratic ticket
and would also conduct his campaign
in a manner which would not bring
any discredit to the ticket, himself or
any of the candidates. The matter of a
nomination had been presented to him
forcibIy by friends, and after consider
able deliberation he had decided that it
was. his duty to accept it. Mr.. Walters
nomination and address were received
with great enthusiasm.
Mr.. Langston, in accepting the nonli-
nation. for Representative. spoke for
nearly half an hour. He thanked the
convention for the honor conferred up
on him and for the confidence the con-
ventfon had reposed in him. He said
that he knew that within the Fourth
District he had a hard fight, probably
the hardest fight in the islands. He
said he would go into the fight realizing
this, but he went into it with the prom
ise of support of people whose aid he
had not expected. He went into the
campaign as a candidate for office, feel
ing it is his duty to represent an ele--I
nent in the Fourth District which was
interested in having Legislature to
which the people could appeal.
From the foundation of the Amerf-
can government" said he, 3the great
men of the nation have advocated the
rights of the common people. II Abra-
ham Lincoln was alive today he would
BE- a Democrat because he was an ad-
yocate of Democratic ideals and he
looked forward to the time when labor
would have equal if not greater rights
at the polls than capital If Garfield
had lived his allotted time the Repuo-
lican party would have advocated
Democratic principles"
w. A. kinney. in referring to the
nominations just made, said that as
Mr. waller had had to make great |
sacrifices TO decide to let his name go |
upon the ticket, it behooved every
Democrat to stand behind him, as well /
as Mr.. Langston, and send them to /
the legislature. On his motion three
hearty cheers were given for Mr. wal
Ter and his confrere.
Kekahi, in a long speech, supported
the two nominees. The Democrats
should let the Republican and Home
Rule parties and candidates severely
alone and vote only the straight Demo-
cratic ticket.
The chairman then called upon c. J.
Hutchins TO make speech. Mr. Hut
chins advanced to the chairmans Ia
ble. and with considerable arm swing
ing ne said:
II want to thank you for this op-
portunity to express myself am
g,ad am off the ticket because you
bava better man now on it, He has
shown himself TO be an orator, gem
tleman and a politician, so what else
do you want?
