ator Foraker fought so vigorously on
the floor of the Senate.
The convention was called to order
by Chairman Brown. The Columbus
Glee Club sang several selections, the
most popular of which was, Were
wearing our hearts away for you, Billy
Taft"
When the glee club retired Chairman
Brown announced that the temporary
organization of the convention would
be: Chairman, James r. Garfield; sec
rotary, r. M. Switzer.
The mention of Secretary Garfield S
name was the signal for an outbreak
of applause, which was deepened when
he advanced to the front of the plat
form to deliver his address. Cheers
greeted every mention of the name of
Taft, and the prediction that Ohio was
about to formulate another President
brought a storm of approval.
When the Secretary had concluded
his speech, the various districts pre-
scented the name of the committeeman
who had been selected at the caucus
held just before the opening of the
convention, and it was then made
manifest that the Foraker interests
had disappeared from the State Cen
trail Committee. Following the an
nouncements of the names of the com
mitteeman an adjournment was taken
until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
A short session Of the resolutions
committee was held after the adjourn
ment Of the convention, to prepare the
platform. 1t is not expected that II
will differ in any material respect from
the outline already given. There will
be no change in any of the matters o.
national Importance, and few, If any
alterations are expected in thos'
planks which relate to State issues.
The fight for minor places on the
ticket continued hot all day, and there
are sharp contests on the floor fol

urer and Attorney General. For heaC

REPUBLICAN
DELEGATES

The Pacific Monthly has the follow
ing;
The total membership of the Repub-
lican National convention, which will
meet in Chicago on June 1G, wiz be in
the neighborhood of one thousand The
only uncertain element I'm this connec-
tion is as to the number of delegates
that will be admitted to the convention
from the territories and the District OF
Columbia. At the last two Republican
National conventions the territories
were assigned six delegates each, but at
the meeting of the Republican Nation
al committee i'm Washington, last De-
cember, It was decided to cut down
the territorial representation to two
delegates each Alaska has already
elected six delegates, and It is under.
stood that New Mexico, Arizona and
Hawaii, as well as the District of Co.
lumbia, will also name six delegates
each, which would leave # to the con
vention itself to decide whether they
should be seated or not. If the contest
over the nomination of the President
should turn out to be close, the votes
OF the extra delegates from these ter
ritories might be Of the utmost impor-
lance.
The six delegates from Alaska, that
were chosen before the National COM
mittees ruling, have been instructed
for Mr. Taft, and it is reasonably safe
to assume that the delegates to be Sc
lected from the other territories will
be inclined I'm Mr.. Taft's favor. There
fore it is probable that if Tafti
friends are I'm control of the conven
tion they will favor the seating OF siJ
delegates each from the respective ter
ritories, as well as the District of Co
lumbia.

QUEEN STREET
IMPROVEMENT
SUPERVISORS DECIDE ON AN I'M
PORTANT EXPERIMENT IN ROAD
CONSTRUCTION.

The Supervisors were in a talking
mood last night, and as a result of
their wishing to talk, the meeting last
ed for over two hours and a half.
The main issue at stake last night
was the matter of paving Queen street
from Fort to Nuuanu with wooden
blocks, and after questions and an
swers between Fern, Archer and Hus-
tace intermingled with side talks from
Harvey and Dwight, the matter was
finally put to a motion by Archer and
carried unanimously.
The total amount of work will cost
$12,363 which provides for a street
made of northwest blocks, with a six
inch concrete base, one-inch sand
cushion and four-inch blocks.
Before the road can be started il
will be necessary to have a concrete
mixer which will cost $500 and btu
men plant which will cost $3.50. After
some more questions on the subject
the matter was put to a vote and car
ried unanimously.
The acceptance of the road by the
other Supervisors was not Obtained
until good deal OF talk on the par
the chairman, Charles Hustace, Jr.
He had made up his mind to have il
if it was possible to get it, and after
another letter had been read from the
former Superintendent of Public
Works G. S. Holloway, the motion was
| put to a vote.
During the most heated argument or
the ACCESSIBILITY of building the road
Archer objected to the talking thai
was going on 81 am unable to heal
what is Icing said, and -F~would like
to have little more quiet"
Hustace then called Dwight and Har
vey to account and told them that i
they would stop talking until later OF
Archer might be able to hear himsel
think"
A petition from 81 Taxpayers llv
ing on Gandall street near Gulicl
avenue asking for four more light
and better roads was received and wa
ordered placed on file.
Fire Chief Thurston reported tina
his department had answered fiv
alarms oof fire during the month o
February, and that the loss had beel
about $50 which was covered witt
$4,000 insurance.
After Dwight had received an appro
priation for $500 for new bridge u
Manoa valley, he reported that tn
work in his department was going Of
very satisfactorily. Archer also state
that the electric light department wa
in good condition.

FIGHT AGAINST FORAKER.

COLUMBUS, o., March 3.-The Re-
publicans of Ohio, who met at p. m.
today to hold their State Convention,
placed the entire party machinery II
the State in the hands of William H..
Taft and his political followers, and
dealt staggering blow to the inter-
ests of Senators Foraker and Dick by
wiping off the State Central Commit
tee every man who was known to have
any bias in their favor. OF the TWEEN
ty-one members of the new committee,
eleven were reelected. Seven men,
bers constituting the Foraker faction
were all dropped. The other three who
were not reelected were all for Taft,
and their retirement was caused by To-
cal conditions alone. Every member
of the new committee is a Taft man.
Walter r. Brown of Toledo was re-
elected chairman and Malcolm Harsh
ner of Columbus secretary of the COM
mittee. The committee on permanent
organization decided tonight to report
in favor of AttOrney-General Wade H
Ellis for permanent chairman.
Pictures of Senators Foraker and
Dick were hung in the convention hal
and the platform which will be pre-
sented tomorrow has in 1t tonight
