Oahu County RepubIi.
can Machines Cogs
4eadjusted.

Readjustment of the cogs slipped in
the county election campaign consti-
tuted most of the work done at the
monthly meeting Of the Oahu Republi
can County Committee yesterday. Ow-
| ing TO the rule barring anyone from
and the county governing organiza-
tons, there We're vacancies to be fill
I ed. Chairman Lorrin Andrews having
withdrawn from the county campaign
at a time between the convention and
the election, there had been some talk
about his action and now he wanted
the takers to have it out with him
forthwith. Then there was a protest
against the sitting of VIM. K. Isaac
from delegates of the Tenth Precinct
of the Fifth District who had procured
his expulsion from the Fifth District
committee. Lastly, there was the case
| of Sam. Johnson, who chose the Terri
torial in preference to the county or
ganization but now wanted back in the
latter.
No accident resulted from any of
these live wire situations. All of the
vacancies Were filled. Mr.. Andrews
was confirmed at the head of the COM
mittee. The Fifth protesters had their
presentment against Isaac quietly
tabled on motion of leader in their
district, seconded by man from the
Fourth who had just before suggested
an investigation. Sam. Johnson had
his desire to rejon the county machine
crew gratified without demur..
There We're % out of the 80 members
of the committee present, either in
person or by proxy, the roll call show
ing thus:

Chairman Andrews at the outset read
1 letters from precincts nominating
| committeeman to fill vacancies. John
\ son and Beiser were named by the
| Fifth of the Fourth. Keanu was sent
| by the Seventh of the Fifth in place
of j. Fern, resigned. The Tenth of the
Fifth gave the seat originally held by
Ed. Kealoha to Isaac. B. ]. Wright
was the choice of the Third of the
Fourth to fill the place vacated by r.
| n. Boyd. Next the chairman read the
protest from the Tenth of the Fifth.
| which was signed by VIM. II. Craw-
ford, J. H. Kanepuu, Chas. Kanekoa
and c. II. Clark. Its grounds We're al
legged irregularity of the club meeting
that nominated Isaac and the expul-
sion of both Isaac and Kealoha by the
district committee.
J. C. Quinn expressed the opinion
that, as Isaac had been expelled, an
inve stigation should be held. But when
E. r. Adams, a Fifth District man,
moved that the protest be laid on the
table, Quinn seconded the motion. The
motion carried by goodly majority
without debate.
Mr.. Andrews, after some remarks on
the ratification meeting Wednesday
evening to be addressed by Congress-
man Hepburn and Territorial Chair
man Robertson, brought his own per-
sonal matter pointedly before the COM
mittee. Chas. Hustace had told him.
the chairman stated, that different
members of the committee had spoken
I'd him about his (AndrewsO action in
the county campaign and expressed
themselves as having no further conf
dence in him. He himself had heard
from other members of the commit ee
reports of similar utterances.
1t was absolutely necessary, Mr. An
drews proceeded. to have harmony in
the organization and that matter about
himself must be settled then and there.
. If, therefore, he had lost the conf
declared in a regular manner and then
he would be willing to get out
Mr.. Hustace said he had confidence
} in Mr. Andrews and he would now
withdraw anything that he had said
TO the contrary.
Mr.. Waterhouse reminded the COM
mittee that when Mr.. Andrews with
drew from the county campaign he Of
fered to resign from the committee.
: Represent ttive f. w. Quinn moved
l that the committee unanimously en-
dorse Mr.. Andrews as chairman. Re
| marks having been made by others,
conveying expressions of confidence in
the chairman the motion carried.
Chairman Andrews appointed w. F.
: Drake. Sam. Johnson and VIM. K
