their several names appeared on the

8. That none of the ballots for
the election of Mobiles printed, fur
nished and used at and upon the
election aforesaid, contained any of
the words, "Koho ana no ka maka-
hiki (lS92)," nor any Hawaiian

dates having foreign names.
10. That there were about seven
hundred native Hawaians, voters fol-
Mobiles on the Island of Oahu, at the
time of said election.
As to the facts alleged, that many
Hawaiian voters were prejudiced in
the exercise of their franchise, OF
impeded in their voting by reason OF
the Hawaiian words expressing in the
Hawaiian language what had beer
printed in English on the ballots, no
having been printed on the ballots, o.

or after it was filed by Mr. Water
house, the said request being from
forty-ive voters for Mobiles, that he
Mr.. Warehouse, would consent u
be one of the candidates for Nobl
for six years for the Island Of Oahu
or whether formal request wa
