He was once premier of the monarchy

in which Robert Wilcox was successful.
He is a cattleman, owning immense
acreage in Hawaii and raising most of

Parker is ambitious TO be the next gov
ernOr of Hawaii, and has a good chance
for the Office when Sanford 3. Dole
goes out. Harold Sewall, who resigns
the republican committeeship, was for
mer minister to Hawaii and ,ater spe-
cial representative of the United
States there. He is a son of the late
Arthur Sewall, who was Bryan's run

come into a large fortune by his ia
theirs death. Sewali was talked of for
the governorship of Hawaii, but failed
of appointment 1t is understood now
that he has given up particular interest
in the politics of the islands, and is
striving for the post of minister or
ambassador to some great foreign
power.
The republicans in the islands are
split into Dole and anti-Dole factions,
but as Parker is friendly with the lead
ers of both sides, he may be able to
reunite them.
