Name/Title

Lucius E. Pinkham President of the Territory of Hawaii

Description

Lucius Eugene Pinkham, Governor of the Territory of Hawaii signed document, dated 21st day of July, 1917. This original authentic document features the signature of the Governor of the Territory of Hawaii. The document is appointing William Waialeale to be a Registrar for the Sixth Precinct, Sixth Representative District, County of Kauai. (See similar entry under William Henry Rice). Lucius Eugene Pinkham (September 19, 1850 – November 2, 1922) was the fourth Territorial Governor of Hawaii, serving from 1913 to 1918. Pinkham was the first member of the Democratic Party of Hawaii to become governor. Despite having no previous political experience,[1] U.S. President Woodrow Wilson appointed Pinkham territorial governor of Hawaii on November 29, 1913, succeeding Governor Walter Frear. His appointment was controversial among Hawaii Democrats.[2] The U.S. Senate confirmed Pinkham's appointment by a vote of 46–24, by just one vote more than the two-thirds necessary for confirmation.[2] Pinkham was the state's first governor from the Democratic Party, although his affiliations with the Republican Party were often under question.[2] In 1917, during Pinkham's governorship, the deposed former monarch of the Hawaiian Islands, Queen Liliʻuokalani, died and was buried at the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii. The construction of what would become the Ala Wai Canal and the drainage of the Waikīkī marshlands are credited for enabling the development of Waikīkī as a tourist center, and are considered to be one of the most enduring legacies of Pinkham's tenure.[3] Pinkham also worked aggressively to improve the military defense of Hawaii.[1] He voluntarily resigned from his position[1] and was replaced by Charles J. McCarthy on June 22, 1918.[ Wikipedia Reference nos.
