The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-09-10

AT 1922 o'clock this morning the
Democratic Territorial Convention, as
sembled in Waverley hall, was called
to order by Ed. Ingham, chairman of
the Territorial Central Committee.
Mr.. Kanekanehia at the request of
the chair, opened the convention with
prayer.
John Emmeluth read the call in Eng
fish and George Lowe in Hawaiian. It
was approved by unanimous vote.
The temporary roll call was then
made, after which the chair announced
that it was voted, at a caucus last
night, that the officers of the caucus
should be the temporary officers of the
convention. This was to save time
and the chair asked for motion to
give the arrangement effect.
c. w. Ashford rose and registered a
strong kick against what he called
hole and corner Methods He had
read a report in the paper about a
caucus last night. There was no men
ton of caucus in the call. The
party had arrived at a stage when it
was important that everything should
be conducted in regular manner.
When he asked that his remarks be
interpreted a delegate objected that
there was no motion before the con-
vention. Mr. Ashford retorted that
the chair had called for motion to
elect the caucus officers as temporary
officers of the convention. In further
remarks he said he thought the mem
bers of the caucus had good deal of
nerve to elect temporary officers OF
the convention.
Mr.. Ingham ended the trouble by
calling for the nomination of tenn
porary chairman.
C. ]. Mccarthy nominated Mr. Ing
ham. The nomination was seconded
ad carried by reclamation.
John Emmeluth was with like ala
Gritty elected temporary secretary.
( George C. Lowe was the choice for
interpreter but as he was busy help
ing the secetary he only consented to
rive.
David Kalawaia was elected tenn
/ porary sergeant at arms.
The chair ANNOUNCED that the caucus,
about which Mr.. Ashford had been
talking, had apportioned committees
among the districts. On the list being
read Mr.. Ashford moved that the res
pective committees be constituted as
read.
/ The chair said it had been suggested
that one more name, the nominee to
mittee to make seven. Mr.. Ashford
amended his motion accordingly.
Mr.. Mccarthy interrupted debate
on the motion to say that the en-
porary chairman had full power un-
der the rules to appoint all committees
with their chairmen. Mr.. Ashford
saw the point and withdrew the mo-
ton. The chair then appointed the
committees as follows:
