The Republican District Conven
tion was held last Monday after
noon and the following excellent
senatorial and representative tickets
placed in the field: Kor the Sen
ate S. L. Desha and J. D. Paris.
For the House J. D. Lewis of
Hilo, James Kauwila of Puna, Geo.
W. Paty of Olaa and J. Pritchard
of Honokaa.
The proceedings in the caucus
and the convention showed a dis
position on the part of all to work
together. The native element in
the Republican party was repre
sented by Judge Kaumau of Puna
and James Lewis of this city. In
the questions that came up in the
caucus they gave good advice.
The caucus lasted for two hours,
which were spent in canvassing the
situation thoroughly to find out the
strongest position for the party to
take.
Among the names informally
presented to the caucus for repre
sentative was that of V. N. Purely
of Hamakua. Mr. Purdy had hut
recently been nominated for the
same office by the Home Rulers.
He was therefore not a satisfactory
Republican in the judgement of tlje
delegates. The convention was
made up of delegates who were for
straight out Republican principles
and sound party politics. All the
speeches in caucus had the same
ring. There was a unanimous
preference for defeat on strnight
party lines rather than for victory
at the expense of endorsing the op
posing principles of an antagonistic
party.
When the convention was called
to order by Chairman Peck at
i o'clock p. m., it was at once de
cided to go into caucus. Judge
Barnard was chosen chairman of
the caucus and J. C. Ridgway sec
retary. The delegates present
were William Kaumau, P. Peck,
Geo. Williams, J. D. Lewis, J.
Vierra, J. F. Clay, F. J. Williams,
H. Wicks, W. C. Cook, E. W.
Democrats of Honolulu, who after
abusing Wilcox, turned around
and endorsed him. If Purdy is a
Home Ruler, an endorsement of
him would be the endorsement of
Wilcox. That we of Hilo and this
island want nothing to do with
Wilcox is proved by a little ex
perience of my own, which I will
relate. Last winter the citizens of
Hilo held a mass meeting, and pre
pared a memorial to Congress ask-
. . . I 1
ing tor certain appropriations uy
Congress. I was one of the com
mittee to forward this memorial.
I Sent copies to Congressman Mer
cer, chairman of the Committee on
Public Buildings, to Congressman
Stark of Nebraska and to various
other Concressmen and Senators,
including Delegate Wilcox. I re
ceived letters regarding the matter
from Mercer, Stark and many
others, but not a line of inquiry or
acknowledgement from the Ha
waiian delegate. He seems to care
nothing for Hilo or the interests of
Hilo people. The Republican
party is a party of progress here as
well as on the Mainland ana we
cannot afford to endorse a Wilcox
man."
On motion it was unanimously
decided not to report favorably on
the name of Mr. Purdy.
Hallot was then taken which
showed the choice of the caucus to
be Desha and Paris for Senators;
Lewis, Kauwila, Pritchard and
Paty for Representatives.
The caucus adjourned and the
Convention was called to order by
Chairman Peck. The nominations
were then made and the work was
over.
The chairman read a number of
bills that had been presented and
reported that there was no money
in the Treasury. An assessment
of $2.50 upon all delegates present
was agreed to and the bills were
liquidated in short order.

who were present by proxy were,
J. K. Dillon, W. S. Walker, J. G.
Jones and A. Lidgate.
In the discussion of the eligibility
of Mr. Purdy to run on a Republi
can ticket Delegate Holmes said
that he had great respect for Mr.
Purdy as a man and as a neighbor,
but that he was afraid he was a
little- off color politically. He had
heard it said that Purdy had no
use for the Republican party.
Judge Malua of Puna, who is a
brother-in-law to Mr. Purdy, spoke
on the subject in a reasonable light.
He said, it was the belief of the
Hawaiian Republicans that with
Kauwila from Puna and Purdy
from Hamakua on the ticket the
Republicans could sweep this side
of the island. He believed, how
ever, in straight out Republicanism.
Some of his countrymen were dis
posed to be first on one side then
on the other. With himself, lie
said, "I am a Republican till I
die." I am sorry to see the natives
chasing rainbows. If Purdy is a
Republican, he will greatly
strengthen our ticket. If he is not,
it would be poor policy to put him
on.
W. C. Cook of Papaikou spoke
of the embarassing position Mr.
Purdy might be in. He may have
been nominated by the Home Rul
ers without consultation and may
after all be a genuine Republican.
Mr. Cook suggested that the cau
cus take a recess and that an effort
be made to communicate with Mr.
Purdy by telephone. This was
done but Purdy could not be found.
J. F. Clay, delegate from Olaa,
spoke for pure and unadulterated
Republicanism. He said that the
Olaa Republicans would vote the
straight ticket no matter what the
action oi the convention might he,
but that he could not consent to a
fusion with the Home Rulers in
any degree.
P. Peck said, "The question is,
what will Mr. Purdy be when he
gets to the Legislature, a Home
Ruler or a Republican. If he is
not a Republican now, we cannot
afford to endorse him. We cannot
afford to follow the example of the

The Hawaiian Department of
the Phoenix Savings, Uuilding and
Hia?lfc-A3?Pcl8telt-nlXJll&r-iffi
has just opened offices in the Judd
building in the commodious rooms
formerly occupied by Gear, Lansing
& Co., next to the Bank of Hawaii.
Mr. Clarence Grange, the manag
ing director, who lately arrived
from San Francisco, has been
grgaty pleased with the success
made by the association and it is
now established here on a firm
basis and has taken its place among
the other large institutions of the
Territory.
The great success that the com
pany has met with in the Islands
has led to the establishment of the
Hawaiian department, which, un
der the supervision of General
Agent Robert Slaughter, with R.
Campbell as cashier and handling
the loans, is now ready to do busi
ness independently of the reference
to the home office.
In speaking of the success of the
association here Mr. Grange said:
"The corporation will place about
five hundred thousand dollars here.
Loans will be made on monthly in
stallment contracts hearing interest
only on unpaid balances. The ne
cessity of the establishment of the
Hawaiian branch was occasioned
by the liberal subscription to the
stock of the corporation by resi
dents of the Territory who have
signed for a m llion and a half
dollars' worth in a little over five
mouths.
"Formerly the corporation con
fined its loaning operations to the
Coast States, but finding the field
here such a good one have ex
tended their limits by the establish
ment of the local branch to save
delay in the transactions of the
loans. The money for the busi
ness of the local branch is 011 de
posit here and will be put out with
out the delay of reference to the
home office by the management."
