It did not take the voters of this
Kewalo precinct long to strike good |
rate of speed i'm casting their ballots. |
BY 1922 this morning is names had been |
voted and the rate seemed likely to !
be kept up. The registration for the |
Fifth is Az and at the average begun |
this morning, there will be no Difficult !
ty i'm every vote being cast well with !
in the period of the election. About
fifty men were i'm line when the poll
ing place in the government stables on
Keawe street opened at s O'Clock. The
inspectors are A. T. Brock, William
Lono Austin and r. Ludloff.
The only candidate living in the Fifth
is Ioela Kiakahi who is running on the
Democratic ticket for the legislature
He was present and seemed to think
the prospects for success were excel
lent. Four men were being voted at
time, although only three booths
were provided The same ruling that
was made in the Sixth precinct rela-
tive to a voter going into the booths
even if he had marked his ticket in the
polling place outside of the booth, was
made by Chairman Brock, and it faci-
litated the work of voting.
There were a number of policemen
working for the Republican candidates.
In fact. the policemen were in consid-
cradle evidence, but they were not vi
official duty however.
No men in the line were under Ine
influence of liquor and there was only
one solitary man who second to nave
q hold-over jag about the voting place
The indications were that everything
would pass off amicably at this polling
place,
A large number of the voters are
emnlovees of the road department.
SIXTH OF THE FOURTH.
The sixth is known as Sam John
SONS baliwick and Sam was present
long before the polls opened. In tact
Sam was there with plenty of workers
and voters. although the men were not
officially marched up to their places
n, line. In fact there were only thirty
neonle in line when the door of the sanl-
tarv department in the board OF healIh
Ihuilding. malkai of the Judiciary build
ing. was thrown open and the VOTING
began. But the numbers rapidly IN
creased and by $3.50 o'clock in the morn
ing. there were fully 60 men in line
awaiting their tudn to vote.
The Sixth is likewise Fred Weeu
nrecinct He is one of the candidates
IN the Democratic legislative ticket.
Weed was present and he expressed
himself as being very confident. He
]
first protest of the day was preferred
nv Weed He objected to the Repub-
Ilican party workers plying their occu-
patton in the corridor of the building
| Chairman Frank c. Anterior ruled a
gainst the protest, holding that the
workers could not enter the room where
the voting booths and inspectors WERE
but could remain in the hallway. How
ever there was not any acrimonious
feeling over the matter and the incident
passed without marked friction.
There were number of sample bal
lots outside in the hallway and these
were passed out to the voters. At first
the voting started very slowly The
| first ballot was not cast for eight min
utes hut gradually conditions improved
and within twelve minutes, five votes
had been cast. There are three voting
booths. It was ruled by the inspectors,
of whom o. G. Swain and Fred Turrill
constitute the other members that the
voters could mark their tickets in the
polling place outside of the booths but
before the ballots would be accepted the
voters would be required to enter the
booths, if only for an instant to COM
ply with the law. This ruling enabled
the voting to be done at a much more
rapid rate and as six We're voted at a
time, the average of time for voting
went up to less than a minute. Forty
votes had been cast by $50 a. m. which
is considerably under minute average.
The registration for this precinct is 4S0
but it is not thought the full strength
will be polled. The majority of the
residents are natives. A large number
of the voters in this precinct are en-
ployees of the road department and
are naturally figured among SANS
boys. There were no intoxicated men
in line this morning and only a couple
of men under the influence of liquor
were about the building
