causes for his going. for as a matter OF

The reasons for Davis invading the
National Capital are in order of i'm
portance to him as follows: Firstly, he
is hot after the job of United States

the scalp OF Associate Justice Perry, of
the Supreme Court of Hawaii; thirdly.
he is going to plead against the Terri
tory of Hawaii, before the Supreme
bench of the United States. in the mat
ter of the constitudonality of certain
decisions in Honolulu courts, involving
the liberty of a japanese. or some ia
panese.
Davis did not make very active
fight for the United States District At
torneyship while in Hawaii, but when
he came here and shifted the fresh and
vigorous air of California, the desire
for the office took hold OF him with
strong grip. He enlisted the sympa-
thies Of the entire California Congress

Henry T. Gage of California Sam

"a shame that two such plums as the
