A. Davis is going to Washington

causes for his going, for as matter OF
fact he is travelling in Pullman par

with the merry bridal party, consisting
of Parker and his wife, Prince DaVia
and wife, Miss Anita Chrystal ana
Miss Alice Campbell. The married
couples being on their honeymoon TRIP
/. will devolve on George Davis to look
after the little wants of the young Ia
dies.
The reasons for Davis invading the
National Capital are in order of i'm
portance 10 him as follows: Firstly. he
Is hot after the job of United States
District Attorney; secondly. he Is AFTER
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 constitutionality of certain
decisions in Honolulu courts, involving
the liberty Of Japanese, or some ia
panese.
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 a
strong grip. He enlisted the sympa-
thies of the entire California Congress
sional delegation and of Governor
Henry r Gage of california. Sam
Parker and Judge George u. Gear also
threw themselves into the breach. and
have struggled nightly to help Davis.
All was going swimmingly and Davis
had high hopes. when a telegram came
from Senator Perkins to Sam Parker,
saying, "Breckons of Wyoming has the
Office" Breckons of Wyoming is back
ed by Senator Clark of Wyoming and
Senator clark is close friend of Sam
Parker. LAWS. though discouraged by
the wire from Perkins does not take it
as a final answer and is rushing on to
Washington ~ prevent the cataclysm,
II possible
He understands that Breckons name
has been sent to the Senate for con-
firmation by President Roosevelt, but
he thinks that If he and Sam Parker
can get the President in a quiet place
alone. they may be able to persuade
him to call back the name of BreCkons
anu to write that of Davis. Only tne
day before Sam Parker was married
he telegraphed personally to Roose-
welt. asking him to reconsider Breck-
ons' nomination, and to appoint Instead
George A. Davis, the man entitled to
the place"
The Hawaiians here are interested in
Davis obtaining the job. as they think
II shame that two such plums as the
United States District Attorneyship and
the Third Circuit Court Judgeshir
should go to men not identified with
Hawaii. Though they consider Robin
son a frst-class man, they think that a
kamaaina should have the judgeshiI
and not a malihini.
Davis with seven years Of residence
in Hawaii, considers himself a kamaa'
ina OF kamaainas, and talks about the
"old days" as good Serene Bishop
might in a confidential moment
Sam Parker is deeply Interested ii

Davis says he is not going to rest in
his attempt to Gust Justice Perry, until

Judge Gear expects TO return to Hon
olulu on the City of Picking, which
leaves here on January Ia. Gear is
alone at the California hotel, but is
managing TO keep comfortable without
the society of Sam Parker and George
Davis.
Samuel Parker is an earnest caudi-
date for the Goyernorship of Hawaii
He believes that he viii succeed Gov

Of his own voltion, or when his tern
expires. Parker will make a steady
campaign for the Governorship from
now on, and expects to be aided a grea
deal by Harold NJ. Sewan, who is now
in Washington.
1t seems almost certain that Sewal
does not want to be Governor of Ha
wall, and that he does want to be EN-
bassador or minister to some great for
