honesty and reputation.
Cupid, Lanes Spokesman.
John c. Lane was nominated in n
strong speech in Hawaiian by Dele.
gate to Congress Kalanianaole. The
Delegate urged his loyalty to party
and his open life in the community.
He had nothing to say against one of
the other candidates, but he thought
that Hustace should not be supported
because he had solicited Home Rule
support and was renegade.
Hustace Replies.
Hustace at once accepted Cupid 8

egate.
In the first place, with tears in his
eyes, he apologized to the convention
for the way in which he had been nom
mated, repudiating utterly the man
who had brought up his name and the
sentiments he had made use of in the
nominating speech. Markham was not
the man who had prepared to nominate
him. Then Hustace turned on Kuhio.
He stated that he had always been n
strong supporter of the Prince, the
same man who now assailed him so bit
terly. 1t was true, he said, that he
had asked for a Home Rule endorse.
ment, but he had done it conscientious.
ly and without thought of being untrue
to his own party. He had come into
the convention prepared to accept its
decision. If he were defeated he
would be found working for the cleo
ton of the man who had beaten him.
He would forget the bitter words of
Kuhio and support him for the good
of the party Tie was not n traitor
to the party and did not deserve the
threats or the reproaches of the Lane
hackers.
Kuhio Rampant.
Charley Chillingworth, all this time,
was standing ready to second Lane IS
nomination, but Kuhio got the floor.
Walking up and down the aisle, some
times addressing the chair, but more
often hurting his words direct in Hus-
tace's face, the speaker called him n
renegade to the party, n man who was
doing dirty politics of a brand that the
Republicanism of the country could
not stand for. He stated that Hustace
had threatened to discharge road
workers who opposed him, and would
take the bread and butter out of the
mouths of the supporters of Lucas and
Lane.
81 have nothing to say against Jack
Lucas,' continued the speaker, for
he has carried on his campaign in the
same way that Lane has, like gentle
man, but, Good Godl can we stand for
the way the Hustace campaign has
been worked, through coercion, threats
an in unfair ways7 1t is not ques-
ton now of Hustace, but a question of
the success of the party. know that
if Hustace is placed Mt tie head of the
ticket that it will be beaten at the
polls. John G. Lane is the only man
who can win the election for this party.
Hustace is a renegade, and I will not
stand for him nor for the dirty meth
DDS he has adopted.''
Chillingworth Seconded for Lane.
Charley Chillingworth. as soon as the
had quieted down little,
seconded the Lane nomination in a
well-delivered and moderate .peech,
repeating Cupid prediction that Lane
was the only man who could carry the
party to victory.
Dwight was the last speaker to be
heard on the nominations, and while
he did not come out openly for any
me of the three candidates, he made
t understood that he was for Hustace.
