But, the governor told the commit
tee. he mad been thrown down twice
as the result OF these overtures.
| According to members OF the COM
mittee. the governor said that he IS
still willing and anxious to come into
the party ranks and do the best he
can for its welfare But he aided that
he did not care 10 make any further
|oyertures TO the party leaders, for the
reason that he might again be thrown
down. He is taking every preeau-
tiCn. he said, to prevent any rupture
In the party, and regrets the fact that
he Is sick in bed and therefore was
unable to attend the meeting Tues
day night
He concluded by saying that Presi-
dent Wilson is the head OF the Dem
ocratic party and that the governor
is his representative here in Hawaii.
It the conclusion Of the conference
the governor promised to send state
ment to the meeting, but no commu-
nieation was received. A large num-
Der OF those at the meeting expressed
their approval OF the chief executives
attitude, while others. apparently not
willing 10 express any opinion, de.
manded the letter.
The meeting was presided over by
William Mcclellan, chairman OF the
county committee LII. McCandless,
candidate for delegate, declared that
both the central and county commit
tee, adding that. as far as he he's
been able to learn. there is nothing |
but harmony in the ranks of the Bour- |!
bcns. He laid stress on a statement |
that those in the party who have diff |
ferences, whether they be individuals |
or factions, should bury the hatcheti' |
and unite in supporting the party's |
Remarks also were made by Harry
Irwin and G. ]. Mccarthy. territorial
treasurer. Mccarthy said he dis.
agreed with McCandless on the har-
mony question, declaring that the |
party is not harmonious and will not /
be until there is fusion OF the two
factions.
The resolution which outlines the |
needs of harmony in the ranks of the
party is, In part, as follows:
whereas, the territorial biennial
election is approaching In which the
democratic party in Hawaii expects
% take an active part as il has done
u years past, and fully realizing the L

publican party in Hawaii to fulfil its
pledges to the electorate declared in

speeches in the campaign of 1914. the
voters will ignore the party's pledge

Whereas, the Democratic party's
success at the coming election
seems to be assured and the party
workers. are very hopeful OF such sue

Whereas, the party workers hear

that it is absolutely neces-
