1904. The nominations were here clos

Somebody then called attention to the
fact that Kalakiela Was not present
and asked what should be done
Charles Clark moved that they go to
ballot at once and settle the matter.
This was seconded. Joe Fern thought
the presidents in the case of the three
Senators ought to be followed. The
motion prevailed by a very large ma
jolity, the solid phalanx of the loyal
police machine-loyal to Vida-looming
up very strong. On motion of Clark 1t
was decided to take a rising vote.
And then everybody stood but Vida
and three others. The three others
later voted, for they proved the only
votes cast for Kalakiela.

then taken up. Mr. Aiea nominated
nominated Nagaran Fernandez. The
nominations were closed and a motion
for a vote offered. A debate ensued in
which the Boy Orator urged the imme-
date balloting and Joe Fern wanted
to place both names before the conven-
ton and not vote Immediately. The
motion which the chair ruled provided
for secret ballot prevailed. The bal
loting resulted in Fernandez being
chosen by a vote of 43 to 10.
On motion of Charles Clark the mat
ter Of the appointments to the various
convention committees was deferred
until the convention today. as all of
the delegates had not attended the
caucus.
Clark also moved, and his motion
prevailed, that it would be unneces-
sary for the caucus to take any action
over the secret ballot scheme, as that
was a matter that would be reported
upon by the committee on rules and
order of business today
On motion of Vida. 1t was decided
that the chairman of the various dele
cations attend a joint caucus with
the Fourth District this morning at
o'clock at Republican headquarters,
for the purpose of deciding upon the
personnel of the various committees Of
the convention.
KUHIO MAKES A SPEECH.
Delegate Kuhio who had attended
the caucus, was invited to address the
He said that he had noticed
a spirit of antagonism in the choice Of
candidates. The delegates to the con-
vehtion should show a spirit of har-
mony and should vote for the best
men. The Delegate urged it as the
duty of the legislature to work for the
general good of the community and not
to favor the rich over the rights of the
poor. He also urged the delegates that
they must regard the fitness of the men
for office. He especially cautioned the
Hawaiians against raising the color
issue. The speaker also said that the
interests of the planters should be con-
sidered with other interests of the com
munity.
Rev. S. l.. Desha followed the Dele
gate, speaking in a similar strain.
The caucus adjourned shortly after
IL o'clock.
