The Hawaiian gazette., 1910-09-16

The Republican county convention
met again last night and concluded its
labors by the selection of the above
legislative ticket, final adjournment be-
ing taken about midnight after warm
but not unduly exciting session.
A good many predictions failed to
come true and several political ambi-
tons were, temporarily at least, blasted,
in the results of the voting for candi-
dates. but most of the work was done
outside of the convention hall and much
of it could easily have been predicted
long before the chairman's gavel de-
seended to call the convention to order.
The knife was not greatly in evi.
dence, having been carefully concealed
but its results were plainly evident.
John Hughes, one of the most promis'
ing candidates and man whose noml-
nation had been looked upon as GER
tainty, was defeated by Cecil Brown,
who was aided, it is well understood,
bv Charlie Achi, John Wise and John
Lane. Notwithstanding the fact that
the Kakaako delegation unexpectedly
swung its votes to the support OF
Hughes at the eleventh hour, he was
unable to weather the storm and went
down to defeat under the weight of the
votes piled up against him.
Charlie Chillingworth, who for two
or three days had been considerably
worried as to whether it was JohI
Hughes or himself who was to be knifet
To let Cecil Brown in, got through by
n safe majority, the storm passing ovel
his head and striking Hughes fairl.
