The passage of that resolution. in
PRODUCED by Sam Johnson, was about
all that came of Chairman Hustace's
called meeting of the Republican Coun-
ty Committee with the party leaders
last night to consider the state of the
organization in Oahu. That and the
appointment of a committee consisting
of Colonel Ziegler, Billy Roe, Sam
johnson, AL Moore and S. C. Dwight
to present the resolution to the Acting
Governor and ask him to please, in
the name of the preservation of the
integrity of the party organization, not
TO do any more in the matter of the
division of precincts, but leave it ali
to Congress. 1t was thought by Colonel
Ziegler, if this suggestion We're made
TO the Governor in real nice way, he
would not get angry and would do as
the committee wanted him to do.
GET KUHIO'S HELP.
w. w. Harris, present as a party
leader and a precinct president, sug-
gested that il the resolution could be
rushed on to Washington, the Dele
gate could have his bill to amend the
Territorial election law amended so as
10 include the matter of providing
more polling booths without changing
precinct lines, and it was the sense
of the meeting that this should be
done.
There was not large turnout at lart

HUSTACE TURNED DOWN.
Chairman Hustace opened proceed
ings by introducing the following
Resolved, We, the Republican county
committee of Oahu, in the interest of
the Republican party, do respectfully
request the assistance and support of
the business element in securing can
uludteS LOT the COMING campaign,
realizing that in order to strengthen
and maintain the Republican party in
this county, we must secure the NOM
ination and election of good, suitable
candidates; and this committee pledges
itself to work for and support can
didates in whom the community will
have the utmost confidence"
This was recognized as pretty raw,
unanimity by those present.
Then Sam Johnson offered his reso-
lutions. which went through after a
little debate. and the Precinct Presi-
dents and leaders were called on and
pretty generally stood in line for the
plan of making no changes in the pre-
cincts.
FABIAN RISES.
The meeting was about to adjourn,
when Secretary Fabian called up the
matter of the correspondence with
county officers relative to appointments
with or without the endorsement of
the committee. Mr. Fabian said he had
received but three replies to his letter,
and moreover, that he had written to
the Supervisors as individual members
of the party, and not with the idea
that the letter would be spread on the
records OF the Board as an official
body, las a matter of graft" He had
followed the rules and the instructions
of the committee. The committee was
either the laughing stock of the town,
or the Board of Supervisors was
"And do not propose TO be made
a laughing jackass of" said Mr., Fabian,
In hurt tone.
II have seen George w. Smith and
he told me the matter had gone to the
Clerk OF the Board and we would get
the information we want" said the
Chairman. Better let 1t go at that"
zABLAN SITS DOWN.
Mr.. Fabian was not willing 10 let II
go. inasmuch as the Supervisors had
had since the 7th Of April 10 answer his
letter, and 80 was allowed to read the
three letters he had received. In the
first Of these, County Auditor B!cknell
wrote that he had made but one APP
pointment, and that one had the COM
mittee endorsement The Deputy sher-
In OF Eva wrote giving the names OF
his policemen.
The Deputy sheriff ~ Honolulu
