LAST DAY
FOR VOTERS
TO REGISTER

With 165 voters listed during the
three sessions. yesterday saw the totals
of citizens who expect to cast ballots
at this election reach 6.205. For the
day there We're 165 men put down and
these made the greatest recent listing
The registration now shows nearly
six hundred more than two years ago,
but there are close to 200 names held
up for investigation, as the men regis
tering have not satisfied the Board of
their right to vote. The committees of
the two districts are still hard at work,
for there are many men who are
known to have leanings toward the
Republican candidates, but they have
not attended TO this duty. Many of
these are known as men who want to
vote, and their omission is pure over
sight
The Fourth district is showing up
better during these last days. In the
fourth precinct there has been gain
of four voters listed over 1900. This
record will be surpassed in other pre-
cincts. Today the Board will sit con-
tinuously from O'Clock a. m. until the
same hour in the evening. 1t is the
last day for registration and the num-
Der of voters put on the record is ex-
rected to be larger than on any pre-
vious day.

of the campaign. There is great de-
mand for his presence here especially
from the Fifth district, and there is a
feeling that he will be able to make
many votes for the party. When he is
in the city at the week end this will be
decided and the future arranged.
NOT ON THE LIST.
Two nominees upon the Home Rule
Independent ticket for representative in
the Second District will not be permit
ted to run for that office because of
failure TO file their nominations with
Secretary Cooper within the required
time and in compliance with the law.
The men who will thus lose their right
Kihe of Kailua, Hawaii, and John Rob
ert Nahulumu of Keauhou, North Ko-
ma, Hawaii. Both are in the Second
Representative District.
Kihe's certificate of nomination was
received last Saturday in plenty of time
for filing by the steamer Claudine. I'm
fortunately however the twenty-five
dollar filing fee did not accompany the
petition, Kihe writing that the money
would be sent later, by the Mauna Loa,
as he could not get it ready for mail
ing by the Claudine. The money did
arrive Tuesday as promised but as the
law provides that it must accompany
the nomination papers, there could be
no place upon the ticket for Kihe's
name, as work upon the ballot was be-
gun Immediately after the hour for fill
ing nominations closed. The twenty
five dollars and the nomination papers
were returned to Mr.. Kihe by the
Claudine Tuesday.
Nahulumus papers were received
some time ago by Secretary Cooper but
there was no sign of the filing fee ac-
companying the petition. Before Ma
hulumu could be notified of his omis-
sion a friend in this city came and
took away the nomination papers, with
the statement that he had been in
structed to pay the fee. On Saturday
however the papers were returned to
the secretary's office but the amount
of the filing fee had not been secured
and was not paid. These papers were
consequently returned to Nahulumu.
