Delivers Brief Speech at
Royal Hawaiian
Hotel.

Democracy in Hawaii. and especial
ly in Honolulu, had it's one great in
ming yesterday in the chance to greet
William Jennings Bryan, twice the
standard bearer of the Democratic par
1896 and 1900. Mr.. Bryan was the
guest, not only of the local Democrats,
but of Honolulu as well, and the peo-
pie of the city endeavored in many
ways to show that he was a welcome
one. From early in the morning until
late in the afternoon, the Democratic
chieftain was given every opportunity
to see what Honolulu looked like and
to hear what some of it's citizens had
to say on local conditions. Mr.. Bryan,
in turn, showed that he was observant,
for he made suggestions as to the up
building of the Territory, especially in
the matter of immigration. He recon-
znended north Italian immigration, and
strangely enough, while he was eX-
pressing his thoughtss to Governor
Carter in one room of the capitol, the
Immigration Board, in an adjoining
room, was passing a resolution just in
line with them.
The plans of the committee worked
smoothly, and in the entertainment
afforded by Mr.. and Mrs, Bryan, the
true hospitality of Hawaii was shown.
BRYAN PARTY LANDS.
The Customs launch Waterwitch left
the Oceanic dock at 6:35 and reached
the Manchuria in quick time. Aboard
the launch were Messrs. E. B. McClan-
ahan, W. A. Kinney, Col. Iaukea, Col.
Parker, R. H. Trent and Senator Pal
mer Wood, representing theDemocratic
Central COMMITTEES; Messrs. Musgrave,
Harry Murray and others representing
the Elks, and members of the press.
The ratings were lined with passen- !
gers, but for time Mr. Bryan was not
visible. He came up on deck with
Captain Saunders, of the Manchuria,
who pointed out several of those on the
launch and mutual recognitions were
expressed by head holdings. Mr.. R. G.
A. Peterson later pointed out the per-
sonnel of the entire committee more |
particularly and Mr.. Bryan was then
able to call out to Col. Parker and Mr..
McClanahan.
Mr.. Bryan looked much as he did |
during his first campaign. There was
, the same strong face with its firm,
Straight Tipped mouth, curly hair, long
black Alpaca coat and black string
necktie, which made him instantly rec
ognizable by the crowd.
AS soon as the cabin passengers were
examined by the local quarantine Off
Ger, Mr. Bryan and party were per-
nitted to leave the ship. Mr.. Bryan
was accompanied by Mrs. Bryan, Miss
Grace Bryan and William Jennings
Bryan, Jr. They were assisted to the
Waterwiteh and the launch came into
the harbor and landed the party at the 1
Oceanic dock. The wnarves were lined
with people ana photographers were !,
