HILO, September Is. - The Repub.
lican county convention ended like a
lovefeast, all differences being settled
in caucus on Wednesday afternoon. The
chief trouble was over the supervisor.
ships, but it was settled by the with
drawal of Cabrinha as q candidate in
favor of James D. Lewis, present chair
man of the board. This also assured
the denomination for the house of
Alfonso, who is a close friend Of
Cabrinha, the two being leaders among
the Portuguese American voters.
The work of the convention was
cleaned up in q couple of hours, plat
form adopted and all candidates nomi-
mated. There were two reports on plat
form, the majority one passing by
vote of thertyseven to thirty.fve, as
announced by Chairman Moir. A large
number of those present thought, how
ever, that it was defeated by a ma
jority of six.
The minority report was signed by
Sam Kauhane of West Hawaii, and was
refusal to endorse the administration
of Governor Frear. This is the senti-
ment on the other side of the Island,
OWING to homestead and other land diff
ficulties. After the convention Kau-
hane said that he was satisfied, felt
convinced that his motion carried, but
did not wish to ask for rollcall.
