SUCCESSOR TO
HAROLD SEWAl [
hilo Thinks Cecil Brown or Sam
Parker Would Fit National
Committeeman Shoes.

A meeting of the Republican Territorial
| Committee will be held in Honolulu on
the 18th inst. for the purpose of select
ing someone to succeed Hon. H. NJ Sew
all as national committeeman. 1t seems
that Mr.. Sewall has taken up his resi-
dence in the States and will probably not
return to Hawaii for some time As the
national committeeman has some infiu-
ence with the Administration in the mat
ter of appointments, the Territorial Com
mittee is of the opinion that there should
be resident of the Islands appointed
before the next session of Congress. It
is understood that Cecil Brown, Senator
from Oahu, and Sam Parker are in the
field for the place and that the friends
of both candidates are working hard for
them.
It is extremely doubtful if the national
committee of the Republican party will
| take any dictationA from the Territorial
Committee relative to the successor of
Mr.. Sewall as national committeeman, SO
that the slower progress made in this
direction the better will be the results.
1t is to be hoped that the person select
ed will be one who understands organic
| ing and who has influence with his par
| ty. The national committeeman from
this Territory should be a man thorough
fy yersed in politics and with a cool
| head. Mr.. Parker's acquaintance with
| the delegates at the last national conven-
ton may help him toward the goal. but
| it is doubtful if he would take enough
interest in campaign to make him val
liable to the party.-Hawaii Herald

take the job all right; 1 don't know any

hole in the time allotted for the session
and that's about all he has done so far
as I can see. He seems to be playing
to the gallery on every proposition, and
1t amuses me. I've known John FOR
twenty years and I have watched him
through his political career about as
much as anyone. In 1893 when he was
one of the Provisional Government he
was called the black angel and wanted
the Queen deported. Why. he was 81
radical that everyone else in the oil
garchy got scared because they though
he was going too far in his ideas of

,you should see him on parade; he wa
