ing reply,
I remain,
Yours truly,
DAVID NJ. KUPIHEA,
Secretary Home Rule
County Convention.
The report was received with APP
plause.
MOORE EXPLAINS.
The report of the Joint Fusion Com
mittee was then lifted from the table
and read the report containing names
for candidates.
A verbal report was made by II. T.
Moore, in which he stated the joint
committee had met and suggestions
were made for a division of offices.
Then the committee adjourned to yes
terday morning, when it was agreed
that IL the Home Rulers consented to
fusion there would be a meeting at /
p. m. At that time there was a joint
session of Democrats and Home Rul-
ers. The matter of ticket was taken
up, and names were suggested COM
prising districts from Koolau and Koo-
laupooko and Honolulu. The two sides
agreed, the Home Rulers giving the
Democrats fair treatment throughout
EMMELUTH COMPLAINS.
: Emmeluth made minority report,
c. p. Iaukea rising to object, and
Emmeluth said: I'm seeking fusion,
those seeking 1t should be guided by
the principles of the Democratic party.
one of the fundamental principles of
Democracy is consideration of the
rights of every one-equality. In Ha-
wall at the last election there were $500
votes cast in oahu. In summing up
the matter of fusion, a division was
based on about 400 votes in the fourth
and the same number in the fifth dis
trict. Necessary to the success of any
fusion ticket there must be an equal
representation of both parties in each
district. was, and am now, in favor
of fusion If 1t can be obtained on a
just representation, but the agreement
on fusion does not give us Just
representation in the fourth as compar-
ed to the fifth. 1 claim as Democrats
We can not have unity on the repre-
sentation proposed"
Iaukea objected again to Emmeluth's
statement, but was told by the chair
that 1t was but a minority report.
THE PROPOSED TICKET.
Then the fusion ticket report was
read as follows:

visor-J. X. Paele Oh. R.)

Timmons moved that action on the
report be indefinitely postponed
TICKET A JOKE.
Everybody seemed to regard the ticket
and report as a joke. The chair said
the motion to postpone action was not
debatable. McClanahan said IL was.
and the latter then arose to appeal
from the chairs decision and he put
the question himself to the convention,
the vote by reclamation being about
equally divided Chairman Turrill
looked surprised at McClanahan's ac-
ton, but said nothing, while the spec
tators snickered and looked to see the
fur fly.
Then someone moved to adopt the
report. The motion to lay the report
on the table was taken up amid a gem
eral "gabfest." Emmeluth said he was
opposed to the ticket as named but was
in favor of fusion. Iaukea wanted to
know whether the party was going to
throw down its fusion committee.
POOR MATERIAL.
Il am sorry there are not better men
named on the ticket to get the backing
of the business community. said Tau
kea. I'VE should support our fellow
Home Rulers" he added I'VE should
have had a better representation. 1
don't know what was the matter with
our committee to have allowed this"
Fl. T. Moore wanted to place himself
on record as a Democrat who tried to
get full representation on the joint
ticket. In naming the ticket each
party named alternately. Coming to
Honolulu the Home Rulers named a
man because We Democrats couldn't
find man who would stand for the
position" The Home Rulers gave the
Democrats chance to name the men
for the Offices, save the supervisors.
There came the rub. The Democrats
wanted three out of four. The Demo-
Gratis won out for the supervisor-at-
large. Mr.. Waller would not stand for
position. Representative Democrats
