NOMINATION. Endorsed.

Nominations Endorsed.
A request was made that all of the
applications should be read to the
meeting. This was done by the secre.
tary 1t was then decided to take up
the matter Of the appointments
separately. As Secretary Cooper stated
that the executive committee had con-
sidered the chaplaincy to be outside
the sphere of politics, the first matter
to be taken up was the appointment
of the clerk, for which Edward Wood
ward was the only applicant. The
caucus confirmed the executive commit
tees action in endorsing Woodward.
The only applicant for assistant
clerk was Luther A. K. Evans, who
had received the endorsement of the
comittee 1t was decided that mas
much as the clerk had the appoint
ment of this officer, it would be well
not to make the appointment, but to
recommend Mr.. Evan Is name to Mr..
Woodward, after the latter IS appoint
ment.
The two applicants for stenographer
were those of William Chillingworth
and George P. Thielen, the former hav-
ing the committees endorsement. AS
the rules of the last session had no proc
visions for this Office, it was decided to
take no action.
Many Applicants.
Four applications for sergeant-at-
arms were next considered, and mo-
tion was made and carried that the
caucus confirm the action of the execu-
tive committee in endorsing Harry
Kahale for the position. Mr.. Kahale
filed this Office with credit during the
last session.
Three applications were on file for
the janitorship, which was given to the
only applicant from Hawaii, j. w.
Pakiko, who had the executive com
mittee's endorsement.
The only application filed from
Kauai was that of John A. Noble, for
messenger, and he was given the pref
erence for this position over three
competitors both by the caucus and
committee.
The only applications left were those
filed for positions as clerks of commit
tees, and as Chairman Cooper reported
that the executive committee had
thought it wise to leave this matter
entirely in the hands of the chairman
of the respective committees no action
was taken.
To Choose Interpreter.
In order to have an interpreter on
hand Wednesday morning a resolution
was adopted authorizing Chairman
Sheldon to appoint a committee of
three to look up this matter. The chair
| appointed Messrs Correa, Long and
Coney.
1t was then decided to appoint a
chaplain. The Rev. S. L. Desha was
nominated, his nomination being sec
onded with applause, and the secretary
was forthwith instructed to cast bal
lot in his favor.
The caucus then went back to the
matter of stenographer. 1t was held
that none could be appointed, as the
rules for the last session had no pro
vision for this office, but a resolution
was finally adopted giving William
Chillingworth, of Maui, the preference
for this position in case it should be
created. AS previously stated, he had
already been named as the choice of
the executive committee.

Charles A. Rice, of Kauai, for the Office

ent. There being no further nomina'

by delivering some eloquence against
railroading things through-he having
understood that Mr.. Rice had been
chosen speaker.
