of the Organic Act which requires that
the Governor shall be a citizen of the
Territory. In the opinion of prominent
lawyers of the city, Pinkham cannot
establish citizenship here, for, since
leaving the Islands, he has had no resi-
denee or domicile here, and has never
affirmed his citizenship here. On the
contrary, it is pointed out that in a
recent booklet he published defending
Filipino immigration, he gave his resi-
the Territory, was a Republican; that
he attended Republican conventions as
delegate; that he was at least cog
infant of the herding of the employees
Of the board of health to the polls to
vote the Republican ticket while lie
was president of the board of health,
and that when he sought the place of
president of the board of health he
applied through the Republican precinct
club to which he belonged and secured
the endorsement of the Republican cen
trail committee. When his term ex-
pired he had proved so good Repub-
lean that the Republican central com
mittee Reimbursed him, but Governor
Frear refused to reappoint him because
Pinkham had gratuitously insulted the
Japanese consul general.
1t is claimed for Pinkham by his
sponsors here, that Pinkham voted for
Cleveland in 1892. Pinkham came to
Hawaii in thnt year, according to his
own statement.
Sixty-two Years Old.
Pinkham was born near Boston, Mas
dence as "Honolulu, Hongkong and
Manila" When he left Honolulu it
was announced as pulling up of
stakes. His unemployment by the plant,
ers came later.
A Known Republican.
Another point to be raised which may
have some influence on the loyal Demo.
Gratis in the senate, is that Pinkham,
| during his entire term of residence in
sachusetts, sixty-twO years ago, and
came to Honolulu in 1892, engaging in
business here. In 1904, his application
for the presidency of the board of
health made through regular Republican
political channels was endorsed by the
Republican Central Committee at a
meeting held the night of April l2
1904. The candidacy of "A. j. Camp
| bell for territorial treasurer for which
position Pinkham had been mentioned
was endorsed at the same meeting, and
on April 10, 1904, both men were ap
pointed by Governor Carter.
Pinkham s career as president of the
board of health was stormy one, and
he kept the administration which ap
pointed him on thorns during the entire
period in which he held Office lie wa,
denounced in the legislature and hi,
resignation demanded in resolution
presented by w. c. Achi. who, yester
day, on hearing that Pinkham was ap
pointed Governor, is quoted as express
ing great joy.
1t was while president of the boart
of health that Pinkham announced hi
opposition to the education of non
+ rous children of leper parents, in
written report filed at meeting o
the board of health, July 20, 1905, il
which he said: 81 believe the curse o
education in the Ha~aiian Islands an,
America is the belittling of the dignit,
of physical labor, particularly her
where nature is in conspiracy with
lazy disposition.
No Friend of Labor.
