wilder Urges Expedition
Judge Wilder urged expedition, in
the matter of such representation.
Judge Dole 3 term of Office would expire
on December 16 and no time was to be
lost If the association was TO do any
thing to insure his reappointment. He
moved that the association at its own
expense send an attorney to Washing
ION as soon as possible to urge the re.
appointment of Judge Dole. The mo-
lion was seconded by Judge George A.
Davis. ~.
In support of his motion Judge VII
Ter said that, while President Holmes
had made arrangements whereby he
would shortly be in Washington where
he would, no doubt, assist the associa.
tion in the matter of Judge Dole s re-
appointment, it would be unfair to
expect that Mr.. Holmes would remain
in the national capital much longer
than the private business which took
him there would require.
He believed the association should
have lawyer right on the ground
who would remain in Washington four
or six weeks or as long as Tire situation
would require to press and urge Judge
Dolc's reappointment.
He would be willing, continued Judge
Wilder, to take a collection among law
and dollars, to help defray the expenses
If such a representative of the organ
zation who would 60 and remain on the
job.
Anderson Favored Holmes
Robbins b. Anderson said that, while
the association would be glad to have
the assistance of Judge Wilder during
his coming visit to Washington, he felt
that the association could not be bet.
.er represented than by making Pres
ident Holmes its official representative.
He moved as an amendment to the pre-
vious motion that the association re-
luest President Holmes, the president
Of the body, to represent the association
in Washington, and, as such represen
tative, to urge the reappointment of
Judge Dole. Former Governor Frear
/ seconded the amendment.
The amendment was carried, all, but
Judge Wilder, voting for it. Judge
Wilder Is motion was lost by division
If ten to five, the larger number vot-
ing against the motion. w. w. Thayer,
Secretary of Hawaii and member Of
the association, promised, on request of
the association, to sound Governor
