REGISTRATION OF ORIENTALS OF HAWAIIAN BIRTH.

The legislature of the Territory at its session in 1905 passed an act "To provide for the issuance of certificates of Hawaiian birth." Under this act most of the children born in the Territory of oriental parentage have been registered with the secretary of the Territory. These children being citizens of the United States of America will naturally have the right of franchise. In order to learn how far these children would effect the electorate and to set at rest the many rumors about this subject, the secretary of the Territory has prepared the following table. This table shows the number registered to June 30, 1920. While we know that there are others born in this Territory who are not registered we have reason to believe that that number is very small. On the other hand some of those registered may have died or left the country.
