Rep. Richardson moved the sub
stitute bill be read by title.
Rep. Thurston moved the bill be
considered by sections.
Rep. Aholo said this was report
by part of the committee. There
was report by the other members
of the committee, which he moved
should be read.
Rep. Kaulukou moved that while
the report referred to was being
hunted up, that the house take up
the bill presented by him, to amend
section ), chapter sc of the penal
code. Carried.
The same member moved the bill
pass.
Rep. Thurston said lie regretted
that the honorable member for Hilo
had taken this step. 1t was a step
backwards in the legislation relating
to elections. 1t is well known
fact that the moral tone of elections
has been downward, and last cleo
tion was the worst ever held in this
respect. The machinery for hold
ing elections is simply outrageous
in that it allows candidates the
power of appointing Inspectors OF
Election. What would be thought
of a law that would permit one o.
the parties IN law suit the selection
: of the jury and compel the othel
party to abide by the decision o
such jury. At the election, a
which he was himself elected, these
abuses were very conspicuous. The
! Judge was Kupihea. The Tax AS
e SCISSOR was Kuplhea. The Tax Col
S lector was Nakaleka. Kupihea ant
r Nakaleka were both candidates fo
: election. Kupihea appointed as hi
G substitutes, the deputy judge AM
J., an active runner, and Nakalek
e appointed his clerk. One membe
a of the board attended TO putin
If the ballots in the box, one kept tw
le lists of the voters, showing WI
r they voted for, and the third ha
ID charge of deck of cards cut in,
v quarters and numbered from on
If upwards. Each voter who vote
III the Government ticket received OF
at of these checks which upon pr
al sentation at house across the wa
5h served the double purpose of shoy
ut ing how the ballot was going al
Or emitting the holder to be filled L
ut with pig and poi.
as Minister Dare said that when
De signed the report of this committe
he did not think he was committir
a crime. He referred to the dec
of sion of the Supreme Court in Il
he Kekoa case. He had consultt
ed many persons about the matte
i'll and the general opinion was tn
to the word "absence" in the Engli'
Dn version, ought to be struck out.
he Rep. Thurston would ask &
Attorney-General if he consider,
i'll it fair, honest or decent for ca
81 didate or candidates for election
BY have the appointment of the i
spectors of Election.
30 Minister Dare did not think
fair, and no candidate who was
gentleman would be guilty of t
like.
Rep. Thurston said that was pl
cisely what was done in 26 out
by the % districts of this kingdom
.er last election. The Attorney-Ge
n, erals answer showed that in signi
y, this report, he knew nothing abo
er, what it meant, and if he had 4
W committed crime, he had do
