V lis Alaska and Hawaii The Forty-ninth and Fiftieth States of the Union .••'.,—• ••••..<*'" ' '• • •. :..••••/• .\ 1959 Alaska and Hawaii became the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth I States, respectively, of the United States of America. In both cases the movements for statehood had continued for many years. A train of events during the biennium 1958-59, in Congress and in the two territories, crowned the efforts with success. Alaska had become a territory of the United States in ^12, forty- five years after its purchase from Russia in 1867., On-May 28, 1958, the United States House of Representatives voted 208 to 166 for its admis­ sion tb the Union. The Senate followed suit on June 30, 1958,,with a favorable vote of 64 to 20 for the statehood bill. President Eisenhower signed the act on July 7. As enacted, the bill called for a referendurh vote in Alaska on three propositions before its admission as a state. Under these propositions Alaskans were to indicate that they (1) wanted immediate statehood, (2) accepted the boundaries of the territory as the boundaries of the state, and (3) accepted conditions as to transfer of public lands to the "state and power of the President to withdraw certain rhilitary lands in emergency. The people of Alaska went to the polls, on August 26, 1958, and by overwhelming majorities approved all three referendum proposi­ tions. The President, on January 3, 1959,.signed the admission procla­ mation. That completed the process. Alaska was our Forty-ninth State. •'; ... -• Haw^aii became a territory of the United States in 1900, two years after the annexation of the former kingdom in 1898. On March-11, 1959, the United States Senile voted 76 to 15 for its admission tC) the. Union as a state. The House of Representatives adopted the state­ hood bill on the next day, March 12, by a vote of 323 to 89. The Presi­ dent signed the act on Marclf 18. In a plebiscite held on June 27, the people of Hawaii voted over­ whelmingly for statehood. The President made the statehood procla­ mation on August 21. Hawaii thus became the',Fiftieth State of the Union. • BptlTAlaska and Hawaii had adopted their state constitutions years in advance of statehood—Hawaii in 1950, Alaska in 1956. Both consti­ tutions are regarded as among the finest in the nation. With the constitutions in effect when statehood arrived in .1959, and with execu­ tive officers and the legislatures elected accordingly, organization of the governmental structures of the two states proceeded immediately. (Extensive series of articles on the two new states have appeared during 1958-60 in State Goi/ernmenf^ published by the Council of State Governments: on Alaska.in the quarterly, issues of Autumn, 1958,.and Winter, 1960; on Hawaii in the issue of Summer, 1959.) ^' ;•••.• '''•/--' .506 •••• • ^ .•• *^St!

  • Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance In
    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.
