We should answer in the mega
tive. The Board is required to
register voters absolutely, at the
times given, and it is none of its
business whether the succeeding
election is to be general election
for Senators and Representatives
both, a general election for either
class alone, or special election
for both or either. The great es-
sential idea of the article is, or
should be, that the electoral rolls
are to be revised at intervals of not
less than two years. As a matter of
common sense, it is fixed 30 that
this revision shall come as close
to the set times for general cleo
tons of all kinds as possible. The
very fact that special elections are
provided for in the article should
have indicated to all Boards of
that their work had
relation in part to special cleo
tons, which might be required
for either Senators or Represen.
tatives. Does anybody recall any
interval between general elections
in this country when special cleo
tons did not fall necessary 4?
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1898-03-29

Having given reasons for the
general proposition that the regis
trars should have enrolled voters
OF both classes, both from the
mandate OF the letter and spirit of
the Constitution and on general
principles, let us inspect closer
the performance of duty by the
Maui officials. Section 2 of Arti-
Gle n prescribes a Board of Re
gistration for the Islands of Maui,
Molokai, Lanai and Kahoola-
we. That subgroup of islands
forms the Second Senatorial Dis.
trict and the Third Representative
District. Its Board of Registra-
ton is not appointed for either the
one or the other of these district
identities, but for the territory
identically covered by both. The
Register of Voters it complies at
each stated biennial registration
should therefore be expected to
include both voters for Sen
ators and for Represen-
tatives. Two separate columns,
or two separate books, or single
list with distinguishing marks,
might any of them fulfil the
strictest requirement of the Con-
stitution in this regard, but
Register exclusively of voters for
Representatives, it is respectfully
submitted, is not a Register of
Voters such as the Constitution
demands. A dual list, as here
claimed necessary, should have
been used" at the latest general
election in the Second Senatorial
district, if for no other reason
than to ensure having timely
revised list for the contingency
that has now arrived of special
election for Senator.
