In connection with the Presidents visit
to this Coastit was announced that Congress
man Morrow had stated that the President
would be present at the dedication Of the
new university at Palo Alto. This is a
mistake, for the dedication will not take
place until October next What the Presi-
dent Will do will be to visit the Palo Alto
grounds and inspect the new institute of
lear ming.
In conversation with a gentleman PROM
inent in the movement to receive the Presi-
dent, a CALL reporter asked why none OF
the Federal officials have been assigned to
any Of the committees, and in reply was
told:
"The President Of the United States is the
peoples President, and on consultation it
was concluded thai his reception should be
by the people and not by oftice-holders, not
but that the gentlemen holding Federal
positions are not capable to serve on the
committees, bur it is more fitting that the
committees should be composed, as they are,
of representatives of the great political
parties than by men who are appointees of
the distinguished visitor. Their absence
from the committees is not intended as
slight upon them. but merely Tor the reasons
stated"
President Harrison stated recently that,
while be would accord the citizens of Cali
fornia every possible opportunity to meet
him, he is anxious to avoid as much as pos
sible public demonstrations that will take
I'D his time and prevent him from seeing all
that is to be seen.
.'If the President" said a gentleman last
evening, Z" has an opportunity to inspect
our waterfront he will see what is needed.
Ii he has chance to inspect our pen
insula he will see how weak our cuast
defe nses are; if he can personally ex-
anime all that we have to show him, he
will be able to understand more clear
ly than if he was talked to for days,
and as result of his observations the
people will be benefited. If, on the other
hand, the people insist upon taking up his
tilhe in hand-shakng, they will deprive him
of oDportunities TO benefit tiiem."
