The above were the candidates
nominated at the convention OF the
Home Rule party which took place at
Firemens Hall last Thursday after
noon The candidates were all nom
mated without opposition. and the en-
tire work of the convention was done
in the afternoon.
The main excitement of the con-
vention centered on the fight as to
whether Senator Makekau should be
allowed to remain in the convention
or not. Makekau announced before
the convention convened that while
the executive committee of the party
In Uonolulu might have tried to rule
him out of the marty. he intended To
carry ON his fight before the commit
tee ON credentials of the convention.
as he had his credentials and one
proxy I'm order. and held that he was
entitled to his seat.
At the opening of the convention
Cbas. X. Motley. who presided. an
nounced. that Makekatr had been read
out of the marty. and that he had no
right To a seat in the convention. Ma
kekau asked to, be heard. but he was
ignored by Motley and the business
was proceeded with. Harry Haope be-
ing chosen secretary.
Motley went on to state that the
rules of the party provided that any
member who had taken the oath of
6 fealty to II might not work for any

the constitution traitors to their par

both Makekau and Kapiho had been
expelled. He ended his speech by ad-
vising the delegates to work for party
harmony.
Makekau answered that he was a
member of a Home Rule precinct club
and a delegate to the convention. He
also held a proxy in proper form, and
wanted ITO know why he should not be
heard. He had not been given n
chance to appear before the execu-
tive committee in Honolulu so he
might defend himself. On July "a he
had signed the roll of the party at
Waipio, and since then he had helped
no candidate of any other party.
When he had supported Sam Pua and
worked for him, continued Makekau,
he had not been n member OF the
party.
Makekau produced his credentials
and held them forth to the assembly
"will the County OF Hawaii allow
Oahu to monopolize the power over
the Home Rule party and WELD Il
over it," he cried. and the delegates
cheered.
Motley continued to ignore Make
kau, but that gentleman insisted on
having hearing, and the chairman
finally had to notice him.
What do you want to talk In Eng
fish for?" asked Motley. referring ia
the fact that Makekau had opened his
speech with single sentence In that
language. You do that so the re-
porter can take II down and publish
1t. All the delegates understand Ha-
waiian. You have been ruled out OF
the party, and you have no right to
be heard"
Immediately a mighty hubbut
arose, Makekau and Motley talked al
each other Mt once, and some OF The
