exceptions only accentuates the fact
that the Republicans of this city and
county are in solid phalanx, so far as
the rank and file are concerned, as sell

In the fourth district there cropped
up few contests, not serious ones,
nor caused by any fractional fight, but
more through a simple plethora of can.

tions. The first precinct was one of
these and the fourth was another; all
of which is encouraging.
One of the most interesting meetings
was that of the eighth precinct Repub'
lican club. In this precinct, one where
there have been some hot fights in the
past all was harmony and no signs of
contest was manifested, After the
meeting had been called to order by
Vice.President j. Eckart, President A.
D. Castro made harmony talk and at
the same time fled the nominations as
recommended by the executive com
mittee.
Time to solidify.
f'This is the time to solidify the Re
publican ranks in this precinct, said
Castro. "'There have been two strong
factions mere in the past, but the eXecu-
tive committee decided to try and com
bine all factions and so present solid
front to the enemy. With this purpose
in view it has prepared list of candl.
dates which include representatives of
all factions. This list is not presented
in the light of dictation, but simply as
suggestion and any further nomlna-
tions are in order.
But no further nominations We're
made aud by resolution the list as pre-
scented was adopted unanimously.
Following the nominations Vincent
Fernandez, Jr., presented the following
resolution, which was passed by a
unanimous vote;
Praise for Castro.
"Whereas, we, the Republicans of
the eighth precinct of the fourth dis
trict, believe that the ability and ser
vices to the Republican party of the
Hon. A. D. Castro, president of the
eighth precinct Republican club, entitle
him to recognition at the hands of the
electorate, therefore be it
'fResolved. that the members of the
Republican club of the eighth precinct
of the fourth district endorse the Hon.
A. d. Castro as a candidate for the
nomination as senator at the Republi-
can county convention and instruct our
delegates to said convention to do all
in their power to further his nomina-
ton.
In accepting the Endorsement Mr..
Castro said it was not because of per-
sonal ambition, but because he believed
that the Portuguese Americans of the
district should have representation in
the senate, although in this American
country there should be no classified
ton of race, but it was the custom and
since it was so he believed the large
number of Portuguese Americans in the
district should have some representa-
ton, and if elected he would regard his
office as a sacred trust.
A caucus was held by the county
delegates after the meeting and it was
agreed to support j. A. R. Vieira as
the representative of the precinct on
the Republican central committee.
In First of Fourth.
Fully hundred and fifty voters
turned out to the meeting of the first
of the fourth, Kaimuki, Palolo and
Waialae districts and when the time
came for nominations President Clark
and Secretary Kilbey We're flooded with
bunch that took the officers breath
away.
Some names were nominated as many
as five times by as many people. The
district and county convention seemed
to be the Mecca of all ambitions. When
the list was sifted and superhuous
nominations set aside it was found that
thirty-six people had been nominated
for the district and county. There
were only three for the territorial, the
full number the district is entitled to
From present indications it seems
that there are four or FIVE states in the
field, some of the nominees being on as
many as two or three.
