Chairman Kalanokalani in calling the
convention to order said that the mem

Brown as candidate, as he had worked

ANOTHER KUMALAE TICKET.
The Fifth District convention was
convened at ? p. m. yesterday in the
Home Rule headquarters and for a
couple of hours the members wrestled
with questions which were put to it by
Kumalae, involving his right to place
on the tickea owing to his having been
convicted by jury of the crime of en-
bezzlement of public moneys.
When the nominations were made for
the Representative ticket it was seen
that Kupihea and Makainai, who are al
legged to have signed the Democratic
rolls, would have something of tussel
to get in.
After Kurnalae's name was put in
nomination he arose and proposed a
resolution in which the authority was
delegated to the Executive committee of
the Home Rule party to substitute a
candidate on the ticket in case any of
the nominees chose to, or had to resign.
This was little design of Kunalae to
give him the opportunity of resigning
gracefully, and yet have something to
say as to who would take his place on
the ticket.
Kuma1ae also explained that he had
not yet been privileged to register as a
voter. He said that he had presented
himself before the Board of Registration
and that Chairman Rawlins had refused
to permit him to register He stated
that he felt he should be allowed to
register as his case had not been settled.
Fourteen candidates were in the field
to try for legislative honors, as follows:
Kumalae Keleihuia, Mossman, Mon
War, Poepoe, Mahoe, Kupihea, Lane,
Kealoha, Keliiheenalu, Lowell, Kou, Ma
kainai, Akina.
among the natives when Mon Wars
name was proposed, for only week ago
Mon War had been one of the principal
contestants before the Young Chinese
Republican Club, for the honor of rep
resenting the Chinese voters on the Re-
publican ticket. Mon War was present
in the hall and did considerable button
holing of convention members, but when
the votes were counted Mon War had
three, one of which was said to have
been cast by himself. Before the vote
counting was finished Mon War walked
out of the room and down stairs, a sick
ly smile playing on his lips.
The result of the voting was as fol-
lows
Poepoe, 81; Kumalae, 40; Akina, 49,;
Kupihae, 81; Mossman, Fl; Mahoe, 20
These were declared elected The re-
rnainder of the vote was as follows :
Keoloha, 70; Makainai, IL; Keliihuia, s.;
Lane, 7; Kou, 8; Keliiheenalu, 8; Lowell,
8; Mon War, 3.
The announcement was made that the
Fourth District convention would be
held on Friday at 10 a. m.
CHAIRMAN RAWLINS' POSITION.
When Chairman Raw1ins was asked
concerning Kumalae's application to be
come a registered voter, he stated that
Kumalae had appeared before the Board
and the chairman had stated that as
Kunlalae had been convicted of crime,
he was not qualified to be voter An
other member of the board at that time
sided with the chairman. Kun1alae said
that his position was not that of man
who had committed an offense, as his
case was on appeal before the Supreme
Court After consultation. it was de-
cided that the Board would give a de-
cision on the case ar 6:3o p. m.
Kumalae went before the Board of
Registration last evening and~stated that
he had retained ex-Tudge Galbraith to
represent him. and that he would APP
pear before the Board this afternoon to
present his application to be registered.
