The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1904-09-20


Joint convention of the Fourth and
Fifth districts, Oahu, and is the ticket
which the Republican party will ratify
next Saturday evening at the Orpheum
theater.
The Senatorial ticket is the result of
sharp contest. Four candidates were
nominated-J. NJ. Dowsett, Johnson c.
Lane, E. Faxon Bishop and Cecil
Brown. The convention was enthusiast
tic in the naming of the candidates and
the speeches were full of ginger. The
balloting left Cecil Brown far down the
list and Bishop, Lane and Dowsett were
declared elected. Lane led the entire
ticket
In the separate conventions held by
the Fourth and Fifth districts, large
number OF candidates were proposed but
there were many Waterloos. The Fifth
was supposedly agreed upon its candi-
dates, but despite this the balloting
left a few who were believed to have
the votes in their vest pockets, far in
the rear.
In the Fourth probably three of those
who won out were district preferences.
Others were elected by sheer weight of
the desire for precinct representation.

THE e. INVENTION.
While the convention delegates were
assembling the air was full of politics,
In fact, it fairly buZzed. Political bees
We're numerous and everybody had his
bonnet cooked Just right. Groups
formed and discussed the situation, and
then dissolved, soon to merge into 9TH
er groups.
1t was known from the drift of the
talk that a contest would be on to have
Cecil Brown nominated. The Dow
sett and Bishop factions We're equally
prominent and thus the question stood
when the gavel fell.
