other societies will be asked to send
delegates to meeting to be held at an
early date, to join in a general memo

President Andrews stated in the COM
mittee meeting yesterday that as Pres
ident Roosevelt has hitherto expressed
desire to visit Hawaii, now was the
time for all citizens to come together
irrespective of party Affiliations, wheth-
err Home Rulers or Republicans, and
bring the President here If possible.
AS an advertisement for the Islands
nothing could be better than visit OF
the President as cabled accounts of his
doings in the Islands would find their
