Mary Haʻaheo Atcherley

... Mary Haʻaheo Atcherley (pictured) was allowed to be a 1920 candidate for a seat in the senate of the Territory of Hawaii, but legally prevented until 1922 from holding the office if she had won?

October 6, 1920 - "Mary Haʻaheo Atcherley ... successfully ran in the primaries ... The secretary of Hawaii is not vested with authority or discretion to omit from the official ballot the name of any duly nominated candidate even though it should be conceded that such candidate is not eligible for election to the office for which he or she is a candidate."
