Cecil Brown"
Judge Kaulukou seconded the nomi-
nation. He spoke strongly in favor of
Brown, calling attention to his past SER
vices in the old forms of government as
a legislator, and his claim upon the
party.
Frank Thompson of the Fourth said
that politics made strange bed-fellows
and strange situations. The beautiful
encomiums thrown at the feet of his
candidate by Mr. Roe Qaughter), had
robbed him of his usual flow of Ian
guage. The business of the convention,
however was serious. The speaker felt
the party was to be congratulated in
having two names presented who car
'ried integrity and honesty into a cam
palgn. The strength and ability of can
didates must be considered. Another
was ito be sprung sub-rosa later"
One candidate was the unknown X in
the political equation. The other was
a worked out equation since lS76-one
who had been tried in the fire of politics
and business. He named Cecil Brown.
He had pulled himself up by his own
shoe strings. He had risen, not by
chicanery, but by hard knocks and hon
est ones. He had risen from impecu-
mostly to affluence. When it came to
men who were to make laws, one who
would know when one law would con-
fiict with another, then lawyer in the
Senate was needed. Mr.. Brown was
the only member of the Senate Com
mittee who said the County Act as pro-
posed, would not have gone to the SUI
preme Court and been knocked out.
Brown knew the law, both from pro-
fessional and legislative standpoint.
Brown was the man for the Senate.
LANE NOMINATED.
Mr.. Keliipoo nominated John C. Lane
in brief speech.
BISHOP SECONDS.
Faxon Bishop said the man who NOM
mated Lane had done the right thing.
Lane should have a unanimous nomina-
ton. His own precinct in the Fourth
District was with him. John Lane had
always been with the party. He was
a strong man.
