Of the committee.
MIR. Waterhousc thought 1t unfair
that the committee did not ask his rca-
sons for his amendment when in session.
He had reasons for the amendment and
should have been consulted.
Mr. Brown moved to table the report,
to he considered in Committee Of the
Whole.
Minister Smith, for the same commits
tee, reported on Article Il, Section Z,
and recommended that applicants for
registration he brought before the
Boards in public session, regularly add
vertised.
Mr.. Kalua thought the report out of
order He denied that the section had
been referred 70 the committee. 1t
had been adopted by the committee of
the whole, and it was piece of assump.
ton of privilege on the part OF the
Standing Committee in taking it up.
| Minister Smith explained that the
committee merely recommended that
rules be suspended and the section be
RECONSTRUCTED.
The President ruled that suspension of
the rules was in order.
Minister Smith so moved
Mr.. Baldwin agreed with Mr.. Kalua
that the report was out of order, and he
moved to return it to the committee.
The President said that any member
or committee had the right to recon-
mend suspension of the rules. The
house could vote it down if it saw fit.
Minister Smith Withdrew his motion.
Under the head of resolutions. Min
lister Smith brought up his motion to
suspend rules and consider Section Z,
Article n. He then moved to adopt
the section as amended by the com
mittee. Carried.
Under the suspension of rules Min
lister Smith called attention to an error
in Article 33.
Mr.. McCandess moved to change
Article rs, relating to the ensign, to
read: "The national ensign shall not be
changed but by order of the Legislature. "
} No second.
The question OF denizens came up.
Mr.. Carter moved to provide for deni-
cation, but without the right to vote.
1t was the desire to have some restric-
tons. Persons so naturalized are en-
: titled to all other rights under the Gov
: eminent except TO become President,
Member OF Cabinet, Justice OF the
= Supreme and Circuit courts, and Foreign
Ministers.
. Mr.. Kalua thought it unnecessary to
add President as man must live
= here fifteen years to qualify for that
position; and we would be annexed be-
S fore that time.
, Mr.. Carter called attention to the fact
that deniZens were not required to take
the oath, nor to adjure allegiance tC
their native country. Surely no patri
q otto member would favor "a President
d who had not fully qualified.
+ Mr.. Allen opposed Mr.. Carriers amend
ment as he considered il wholly un
I necessary.
D Minister Smith desired to support tn,
amendment of Kalua. Under the othe
;, propositions we were tying our hand
e into the country.
e Mr.. Wilder opposed Mr.. Carter
motion as by it we were putting a ston
!, wall around these Islands TO keep goot
men out of the country. He believes
d we should have the power to max
l. voters out of good men to offset other
st who could qualify and would oppose US
Is Mr.. Kalua's motion was adopted.
Mr.. Carter moved to strike out tiv
n and make the residence qualification O
a. Senators three years Carried.
The House then resolved itself into
rs committee of the whole and Mr.. Ric
n took the chair.
Report of the committee on Section
ne Article 10l, was read. The committe
ce recommended the adoption of NJ
So Able's amendment and the rejection {
Mr.. w aterhouses as unnecessary.
tie The report of the committee wa
adopted, Mr.. McCandless alone voting i
's the negative.
rt The Chairman asked il there was an
e. other business to come before the con
mittee.
Ii Mr.. Kalua replied that there was no
es except the matter OF female suffrage, bl
Id he believed a meeting had been Gale
lg for this afternoon.
The committee then reported progress
he Mr.. Brown moved to adjourn to
at O'Clock Friday morning, SO as to hav
ch the revision OF the draft before ii
ISL house.
'r- Mr.. Carter was in favor of adjourn
ing to Saturday, as the committee Ina
ST. lots of work and he wanted to be full
en- ready for work when we met again.
Mr.. Brown then moved to adjourn
OF Monday.
He Mr.. Baldwin thought if the commit
could give us part of the draft fridi
nd morning, adjournment should be tax,
to then.
adj Mr.. Carter suggested that the col
mittee would be able to report upon t
ile woman suffrage question Thursd
morning, and he would move to adJou
until then. Carried
