(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
With only portion of the results of
the Democratic precinct nominations
in, it is still safe to sum up the gen.
eral result in the pithy remark that
''Link got dumped Except in one
precinct the tide was all against him
although his tickets, with few excep-
tions are all in the field. In that one
precinct, the eleventh of the fifth, the
Mccarthy ticket was frozen out by
what appears to have been crooked
work and the chances are ten to one
that that precinct will lose its votes in
the convention altogether.
The McCandless ticket in the eleventh
of the fifth was moved by Arthur Ka-
haawinui at promptly half-past seven,
the Mccarthy ticket being presented
Immediately afterwards. Before more
than two names had been read from the
last, however, Kahaawinui arose and
made an objection, Immediately after
WdluS HoNiuS tnaI ING Mountainous w
closed.
The Mccarthy man protested, but was
overruled, the motion was put to the
vote and unanimously carried. As the
Democratic rules expressly state that
the nominations cannot close until eight
! clock and as these closed about
| twenty-five minutes to eight, the nine
delegates will have hard time of it
to hold their position in the conven-
ton. In consequence of the action
there is no opposing ticket in that
particular precinct and none but the
McCandless men can be elected. The
chairman of the club is E. J. McCan-
dless (no relation to the Lanlocked-
Leader) and the secretary, Gabriel
Kaaua.
First of the Fourth.
Kaimuki made its Democratic nomi-
nations smoothly, putting nine names
on a slate with four to elect. Both fac
tions are equally represented without
much hope for McCandless when the
primaries come. The slate is formed Of
David Martin, Daniel Kalauawa, @. B.
Pringle, Charles Kupuhu, R. B. Reedy,
Solomon Maheula, Mahinalu, Jack
| Maima and Fred Heihei.
Second of the Fourth.
Three tickets were put in the field
by the Democrats of the Waikiki
precinct, two of which stand for Me-
Candless and Mccarthy respectively,
the third being doubtful. The McCan.
dless men are supposed to be J. w. Mi
kasobe, D. Halemanu, s. X. Paha, M.
K. Paiaiana and Waieula. The Nc
Carthy men are s. J. Koloa, Alex Pa
hau, Solomon Kahalewai, J. w. Iona
and d. X. Kahanamoku while the others
nominated are Joe Pa, Carl Ke "a, r. K.
Pahau and George Iona.
Third Of the Fourth.
John Efinger led the McCandless
ticket in the Manoa precinct. he with
D. P. Paiaina and NJ Mikasobe will
represent the Landlocked-One in the
primaries, if they get elected, the only
obstacle to which is the Mccarthy
ticket consisting of J. B. Lightfcot,
julius Asch and G. Fl. Rose. The
precinct only sends three delegates to
| the convention, the two tickets being
nominated without fuss and no resolu-
tions.
Fifth of the Fourth.
| @. J. Mccarthy will be in the con-
vention to handle his own forces from
the floor. The McCandless faction did
not even put in a ticket in his precinct,
the fifth of the fourth, only four men
being nominated with four to elect.
Those men are G. J. Mccarthy, William
Wolters, B. G.. Rivenburgh and W. A.
Wall. AS there is no opposing ticket
they are practically already elected to
the convention.
Eighth of the Fourth.
There are three states in the field
in the eighth of the fourth, two of
which mean Mccarthy and the other
means Link. Precinct leaders stated
last night that they are confident that
McCandless stands no chance at all.
The first slate, headed by John Hill
and Fl. P. and w. r. Chiffon stands for
the postponment of the convention and
also for Mccarthy while both the other
tickets are split on the convention mat
ter, one being composed of Mccarthy
and the other of McCandless men.
Tenth of the Fourth.
Each faction put its ticket up in
the tenth of the fourth there being no
hitch of any sort. M. Palau, Fred Weed
and Kahilahila represented the Nc
Carthy crowd while the latter is also
