as follows:
Honolulu, January 2Sth, 1910.
w. II. Beers, Esq, Chairman Of the
Hawaii County Committee, Hilo,
Hawaii.
Dear Sir:e-Ir careful survey Of the
general conditions affecting the local
Republican party, the Executive Com
mittee of the Republican Central Com.
mittee, finds that action On the part Of
Committees at the head Of the party is
necessary at this time to begin to
shape the party for the coming cam.
| paign. The political status Of Hawaii
requires today, more than ever, the
most careful and assiduous attention
OF every citizen who believes in the
preservation of our Territory's welfare
Standing atsthe threshold Of 1910. we
ask ourselves, as we read and gaze
over the alarming newspaper articles
based on cablegrams received from
the capital ei the Nation, what shall
the year bring forth concerning our
system OF government and what new
forces are TO inspire and direct the
Hawaiian people? or course, the con.
hdence we have in the Republican
party does not give us occasion to
fear OF any change contrary to the
advancement Hawaii is making In its
social and political avenues, but q
realization Of the fact that we have
to contend with opposing elements,
destined not to prompt our welfare but
merely to obstruct the sound policies
OF the dominant party and to wreck
the prosperity which this homogeneous
community'is peacefully enjoying, war.
rants immediate action on our part to
avert any adverse movement.
In this connection we plan to en-
ploy an assistant secretary to conduct
the campaign work which will be out
lined by the Central Committee. The
nature Of the ONCE will be permanent.
The Committee has at this time in
consideration the names OF a few elig.
ibles, but before deciding upon the
selection Of one we regard It proper
to invite the views of the County Com.
mittees as regards the qualifications
OF each OF the two below. to-wit:
Lorrin Andrews anu c. II. auckland
Mr.. Andrews is an attorney by profess
sion, and Mr.. auckland Is a journalist. |
One is politician and the other stat
istician. The selection should be as
satisfactory to the outside committee
as to the Executive Committee be-
cause great deal OF the wor. will In.
volve certain relations between the
and outside districts. II |
you will give us the Views as request.
ed we shall feel disposed to act more
intelligently as to the attitude Of the |
several county committees In this mat.

Thanking you In advance for any
action you may take In this regard, I |
am. Respectfully yours.

In the mean time Desha had received
a number OF letters from politicians
and his friends protesting against his
opposition to the appointment of Bucx-
land, and. in answer to these. he sent
a letter. In Hawaiian. to Beers.
In this letter, says Beers, Desha
stated that at the meeting In honolulu
last Tuesday he had given his reasons
why he did not consider auckland the
best man for the position, but In spite
Of this the majority Of those present |
were In favor OF the Hilo candidate.
The following day, continued the let.
ter, II had been found that Andrews
had failed to receive the appointment
rs Attorney General, and the matter
was taken up again. The names OF
auckland, Castro and Andrews had
been considered. and 1t had been gen.
orally thought that the latter would
be the best man.

From all the above, and from private
