REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
Aside from little furry caused, by
the sudden rise to power of the Young
Mems Republican Club, there was lit
tie interest shown in the Republican
primaries held last Saturday. 1t is
difficult at any time to arouse suffi-
cient interest in the stay-at-heme vot-
er to attend and vote at primaries, and
outside OF Hlo where there was an
attempt to create rivalry in repub-
lican leadership, there was not even
the appearance of a contest. The
Young Mems Republican Club was per-
fectly organized and every member
stood by the SLATE" agreed upon at the |
caucus the night before. The result
demonstrated the effectiveness of uni
fled organization and the Smith wing
of the party rode into power on the |
tide of the younger Hawaiian vote. The |
delegates chosen are all capable men |
and can be relied upon to represent the |
wishes of the party in the Convention |
to be held in Honolulu next Monday
