Chairman, Now a Waller Wor-
ker, Removed at Meeting.
Link and Coke Rein
d0rSed by Large
Vote

Supporters of L. L. McCandless de-
clared this morning that the action OF
the Democratic county committee last
night in removing Chairman b. G. Ri
venburgh was due TO the fact that Ri
venburgh had tried to give the I'M
preston in Washington that the com
mittee had Withdrawn its Endorsement
OF McCandless. This, say the Nc
Candless men. was due to the fact
that Riyenburgh was working desper-
ately for Waller.
At any rate, the county committee
last night, at a meeting at Bourbon
Headquarters removed -Iivenburgh
from the Craftsmanship by vote of
twenty to five and McCandless was
Reimbursed by about the same vote,
some giving it as eighteen to six.
The resolutions reindorsing Nc
Candless are as follows:
Whereas, the early appointment of
Democrat as governor of the terri
tory of Hawaii is of vital importance
to the best interests and the mass
of this territory, anu
Whereas, Hon. L. L. McCandless
received practically the unanimous
endorsement of the Democratic party
of the territory as expressed in the
resolutions and memorials adopted by
the county committees; by the terri
torial committee of the Democratic
party and by a great majority of the
Democratic precinct clubs, and
Whereas, no other candidate for
appointment as governor has received
any such endorsement, except that
this committee, after having preyi-
ously endorsed L. 4. McCandless
passed q resolution also endorsing
the candidacy of G. j. Waller for the
same position without intending in
any way to cancer or abrogate the
endorsement of Mr. McCandless.
As to Walters Endorsement.
"The endorsement of Mr.. Waller
was obtained upon the argument err
roneously based upon section Is, ar
ticle l, of the local Democratic rules,
ii being commended that the commit
tee should endorse all candidates
found to be Democrats and possess
ing qualifications for any office
which might entitle them to consid-
Grafton by the president of the United
States, and
Whereas, upon mature considera-
ton and in the light of. much delay
this committee deems it necessary
and advisable to clear away any
false impression which might have
resulted from. its action in endorsing
Mr.. Waller to the detriment of the
candidacy of l. L. McCandless, or i'm
any manner delayed his appointment
as governor of the territory of Ha-
vail, therefore be it
Resolved, by the Democratic coun-
ty committee of the city and county
OF Honolulu, territory of Hawaii, that
its endorsement of G. J. Waller here
tofore made recommending him to the
favorable consideration of President
Wilson for appointment as governor
of the territory of Hawaii is hereby
revoked, cancelled and withdrawn.
That the action of this committee
heretofore endorsing the candidacy
of L. L. McCandless for appointment
as governor is hereby reiterated, rat
flied and confirmed as the only en-
dorsement and recommendation of
this committee to the end that the
appointment of L. L. McCandless as
governor of the territory may be
made without unnecessary delay. And
be it further
Resolved, That protest is hereby
entered against the consideration of
