In 1921 section 66 of the act was amended by inserting after the provision that the Governor shall be a citizen of the Territory of Hawaii the requirement that he shall have resided therein 3 years next preceding his appointment in lieu of the 1 year residential requirement. There was a reason for the amendment of that act in 1921. The principal reason was that L. E. Pinkham had been appointed Governor and he was not a bona fide resident of Hawaii at the time of appointment. He had been in the Philippine Islands ana China gathering up coolie labor for the sugar plantations. and when he was appointed Governor he brought with him a lot of carpetbaggers. with resulting misrule and dissatisfaction. That was the principal reason why the act was amended. Now. it is proposed to allow the President to appoint someone from the mainland.
