Colonel Parker spoke again. saying:

to announce this engagement. Prince
David Kawananakoa was my political
rival. but we have been friends always.

but years of companionship have
taught me to value his friendship at its
full. But for the annexation of Ha-
waii to the United States he would
have been David the King. While he
will never know that exalted state it
is still left for him to do his people
and his country great service. l
