Tesla said Noblitt was mistaken. A
resolut on adopted by n committee could
not be recommended by the convention.
He ontanded, as before, that the
amendment was out of order.

the amendment should be considered as
a separate matter. He said, however.
he was Hearst man." but believed
the delegates should go foot-loose, and
! not be instructed for him. (ApplauseD
Out-andout Hearst men" would re-
ceive his vote and no others.
l.. II. Crook of Maui gave the Maui
opinion on the question. He was per-
sonally in favor of Hearst. but il such
an amendment was put into the plat
FORM which was devoted to principles,
the party would become laughing
stock. 1t was not only a platform for
the st. Louis convention but for the
next Territorial elections and should be
free from personalities. (Applause)
The convention was moving to make
the Democratic party one-man party.
The party was not so strong in the is
| lands that they could antagonize one
another which would be the case If the
amendment was considered with the
platform.
Palmer Woods said he believed in
working for the interests of the party
and he thereupon withdrew the amend
ment.
Tesla said he advocated the report of
the platform committee because ii was
hot stuff" hotter than some of the
stuff he had been prosecuted for.
EMMELUTH THE AUTHOR.
Ashford said IL the Attorney Generals
Department wanted to prosecute the
author of the report. Emmeluth was the
man who did it,
c. l.. Rhodes thought the committee
had fallen into a misstatement of fact
in it's report. Four years ago the Demo-
Gratis had met in convention. with rep
resentatives present from every island.
The report was then adopted.
ELECTION OF DELEGATES.
The chair called for election of dele
gates as the next order of business.
Prendergast called for the report of
the committee on credentials with list
of members attached.N
Emmeluth moved that the delegates
be apportioned as follows: Two from
Hawaii, one from Maui, three from
Oahu.
Col Mccarthy moved to amend by
having two from Hawaii. two from
Maui and two from Oahu. Another
member suggested: two from Hawaii
one from Maui two from Oahu and one
at large.
Another suggested that three be from
Oahu and Kauai. Emmeluth couldn't
see where Kauai should come in. The
Garden Isle didn't see fit to send a rep
resentative to the convention. Emme-
luth opposed Maui in getting two dele
gates.
Coke of Maui said it was the desire
of Maui, Molokai and Lanai to send two
delegates to the National Convention.
In 1902 Molokai was the only island
which gave a Democratic majority for
David Kawananakoa.
Ashford favored giving Maui two
delegates. ~
MAUI GETS TWO.
Crook said that Maui was the only
island that made a full sweep against
tiitl -INepuuHCdHS, uIlutT tfle name Oh
Home Rulers. Under the name of the
Democratic party, the same voters
would make clean sweep next election
and he asked for two delegates for the
Maui district. t
The members began talking each
other to death over the question. Oahu
delegates did not want to concede an
additional delegate to Maui, and Maui
ans refused to recede from their posi-
ton. The appointment problem was
the second rock on which the conven-
ton ship struck hard and fast for
awhile.
The amendment giving two delegates
to Maui was lost by numbers voting,
but Hayselden said he held eleven
proxies, Crook had six, ad finitum.
Maui won out having proxies to
burn. among them being the names of
many lepers at the Settlement, 1O7 in
| favor and II against. A recess of If
teen minutes was taken to caucus for
nominees.
