mocratic party of the Territory and the
county and districts of oahu. completed
it's work and put forward various
tickets, as well as platforms for the
approaching campaign
Probably the biggest surprise was
the nomination for Delegate to Con-
gress, the plum or whatever it can be
called, going to f. B. McClanahan. 1t
was a case of honors being thrust up
on him however. Mechanism walked
into the convention at Waverly Hall
yesterday afternoon to watch the pro-
ceedings, he was Immediately greeted
with roar of cheers and not until af-
ter he had been assured by various de-
legates could he credit that he had
been named as the Territorial standard
bearer.
There had been considerable difficulty
and uncertainty regarding the nom
ination of any candidate for delegate.
John Emmeluth had been slated for the
position but Immediately following the
adjournment of the Territorial conven-
1 ton yesterday morning, he found that
| business relations would not admit
of his making the campaign. His with
drawal left the party without any cam
didate in sight. w. A. Kinney and
other leaders thought that a candidate
should be named whatever might be
the prospects. But who to select was
| the question The Hawaii delegation
was opposed to the nomination of any
! delegate and it was anticipated that
! split would occur SO the convention
reassembled at 2 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon without candidate in sight.
/ 1t had been suggested to Kinney that
/ Mechanism be put forward and evil

partner offered up as a possible sacri-
fee
While awaiting the report of the COM
/ mittee on platform speeches were made

Sam Koloa.
The report of the committee on plat
form was then read.
Sooman Meheula moved to amend the
platform to the insertion of a plank
! pledging the candidates to endeavor to
find a cure for leprosy. There was
some discussion over this matter, dur
ing the course of which the sentiment
seemed to be that if man had leprosy
he ought to have the right to first call
in the person he most desired to treat
him. The amendment finally passed
and the report was adopted.
E. b. Mechanism was then nominate
ed for delegate to congress by Sam
