VEiHEN Sam Parker returned TO the
" city after visit to Washington
over a year ago, and told his
friends that Dole would not be COVER
nor, there was rejoicing in machine
quarters. Last evening there were
smiles upon the faces OF the men who
were opposed to the governor then and
still are ia the same ranks, luv col.
Parker is back in Hawaii and nov he
tells his intimate friends that Governor
Dole will be removed. Col. Parker bases
his faith upon the fact that President
Roosevelt may remove Governor \. q.
| Murphy of Arizona to make a place
for his old friend. Col. Brodie. and so,
of course. Dole must also go.
| col Parker would not discuss politics
very much last evening. He had been
| in Washington, he said, primarily up
on his own business, and he had called
upon the President and paid his re-
spects and when questioned had talked
at some length upon conditions here.
Continuing Col Parker said: Il had
most pleasant talk with the President.
| | don't know where the President got
all his information about the Territory.
He seems to know all about the islands,
for he asked me many questions which
could come only from IA knowledge OF
the place and people.
Il went to call upon the President
with Mr.. Sewall. and after the President
had made an appointment with him for
me. We went over the whole situation
here at length and ! left with the i'm
preston that the President is very well
informed. Mr. Sewall stands excellent
| ~ at the White House. There Is moth
| ing in any talk about Sewall resign
| ing his place on the National Commit
tee. He is Interested here and will come
down with me in the spring. ! shall re-
turn to Washington, leaving here not
! later than December ith, and spending
much of the winter and spring at the
| Capital.
Il am convinced that the coming SEES
sion of Congress will pass such laws as
| will put it in the power of the govern
! ment here to grant franchises Tor the
use of the public lands for pipe line
and fumc purposes. for the conveying
| of water for irrigation. The decision
| of the Secretary of the Interior that
! there is no such power now puts our
only hope of utilizing the water of the
! * ohala region in the hands of Congress
We saw not only the Secretary ana the
Commissioner of the Land ONCE, but
several members of the House Commit
tee on Territories and from all these
gained the belief that action viii be
taken this year.
1--WE shall work. Mr.. McCrossen and
myself FOR the passage OF laws whlch
will allow the development of the wa
ter on the lands which are under lease
| by me. | do not believe that Congress
will get to the entire reform OF the
land laws at this session.
There seems to be good prospects
of legislation at this session for the
benefit of the Territory"
