112TH DAY.
SATURDAY, Oct. %.
The House met at 10 o. o'clock.

Second reading of bill to amend
the Election Law. Considered Sec
ton by section.
Noble Widemann, on the first Sec
ton being read, stated that the bill !
was essentially the old law. Some
of the sections were transposed, and |
II few amendments proposed. This
section was that of the old law, and
he moved it pass. Carried.
Sections 2 to Z inclusive passed. |
Rep. NawaEi, on Sec. S being
read, moved that the word "Sena-
tor" be inserted instead of "No
ble." The word ''Noble" in native
was "Alii," and that belonged only
to persons of royal blood.
Rep. Baker suggested the word
"kekake" Gackass).
Noble Widemann was afraid that
the word ''Noble" being in the Con-
sttution could not be changed in
the Act.
Rep. White moved the section
pass as in the bill. If it was made
'Senator, the Supreme Court
might refuse to administer the oath
to "Senators" next session.
Rep. Nawahi contended that the
Constitution might be amended next
session.
The President said it would be an
absurdity to alter the name now, as
the Constitution could not be amend
ed before next election.
Noble Widemann thought the hon.
member for Hilo was slightly astray.
He did not believe there ever was
'Hale Ali" blouse of Nobles) in
the kingdom composed entirely of
persons OF royal extraction.

of honor emanating from the King,
person with the title of Noble could
not properly be elected by the peo-
pie.

i'll made a remark laughingly.
ly Minister Peterson thought Il
o. hon. member had got up out of b,
ill wrong end this morning. He W

he member for Molokai expected him

tn would probably take the Suprel
&C. Court months, all he could say W
les that he could moi do IT.
