PARKER TALKED TOO MUCH.
1.-The basis of my trip to Washing
ton," said the Governor last night, lis
Roosevelt. 1t came through Senator
George r. Carter of Hawaii, who is
now in Washington. The Senator was
invited by the President to make
written report on the status of affairs
in the Islands and he thought it advis-
able to go to the nations capital He
sent me notification that the President
would like to see me and l Immediately
accepted the invitation.
Il have no information that / am to
t.
to be the impression in the Islands that
Sam Parker gave out some statement
that was ground for such a conclusion.
He made limitations in the matter
and on that basis the newspapers pub

nc low anything about it. Yes, Par

c. .iiittelAn from Hawaii.
My affiliations are with the Repub-
lican party. / feel that that is the par
~ that represents the governments
policy. | have always been a RepubIi-
nexed my sympathies were with the
American administration. However,
believe that one ceases to be a party
man when he rises to the position /
now hold. He represents the interests
of the whole community. When carry

CARTER IS HIS FRIEND.
Mr.. Carter is a friend of mine. He
has always been friendly to me. I
don't know what he is saying in Wash
ington. No one will accompany me to
the capital. No charges have been filed
against me. L shall have served two
years in June next. If there was any
change made it would have to be
through the President He alone has
tI1a M to tt to-
at the discretion of the President
whether L hold office He can remove
me without trial and he can dismiss
me without any preliminaries what
ever"

Fitch, the silver-tongued orator" was
going to Washington in behalf of the
Royalist. or Home Rule party He
stated that Fitch had told him on the
boat that he intended going to South
ern California to look after some min
ing property. and he did not think he
was going east. The Governor said
MIR. Fitch had taken little interest in
Hawaiian politics.
Il expect to leave for Washington on
Thursday" said Governor Dole, land

TWO months. l never had any intention
of resigning my office, and I will not
do so unless my health fails me- NY

ARMSTRONG WITH HIM.
Except for these interviews and one
in the Bulletin, which was presumed to
be humorous, hardly anything was
printed about Governor Dole's visit
here. If ever there was a high official
without frills or pretense to state, it
is Governor Dole.
Governor Dole lunched Thursday at
the Pacifin Union CIIIh viii Tr
win and other prominent business men.
He held several informal receptions in
the parlors Of the Occidental, when his
callers became SO many that he could
not receive them in his private apart
