OTHER SPEECHES.
Fred ]. Lowrey. president OF that
body. responded for the Chamber of
Commerce. The gist OF his remarks
was that. while the older and reputed-
~ more conservative body he repre-
scented rejoiced TO see tlfe youthful
vigor OF the Merchants Association.
there was "A feeling that single and
strong mercantile organization might
be better. At the proper time and
place this question would be consid-
cred.
ii. p. Wood, secretary of the Ha-
wall Promotion Committee, spoke to
/ the toast, promotion Work" saying
In part:
/ II am not a speaker. l am a talker,
/ II | got you I'm a corner of my office
/ / could talk to you. l believe that
! the idea of promotion Is right. II shall
| be my aim TO devote my best ener-
/ giles to promoting the interests OF this
J Territory. Perhaps the greatest re-
! suits OF organized effort is to be seen
| in the state of California, where vari-
| Gus local organizations have worked
/ upon the proposition. One of the best
| examples Of promotion work is that of
| the Commercial Club of Portland, Ore
| gon. 1t expends a great deal of money
/ on commercial lunches, at loss OF
/ perhaps $3.50 a month to the organiza-
ton, but II pays Portland and the State
| of Oregon. Then there is the Com
mercial Club of Salt Lake City. which
| is to hold a convention on the 25th
of this month under the motto See
| Europe II you will, but see America
! first"
Mr.. Wood then reverted to the work

| ing had 100000 last winter.
Mr.. Wood complimented the work
done in Hawaii in the past, saying that
the $40, 900 a year now being expended
here by the merchants would be fully
rewarded.
w. X. Harrington responded for the
| press, saying:
+, After hearing Jack Lucas speech /
would like to say the same thing over
\ again. A man was walking down the

the whole town. Someone was asked
If he had met the distinguished look
ing person and replied, Yes, l met
him and apologized for my existence
i Now after hearing Jack Lucas l feel
like apologizing for my existence.

| Caesar about the three divisions OF
gall" Mr. Harrington divided the
Honolulu press into the three divisions
Of % the daily papers, ~, Anne Marie
| Prescott and (3) the others. Later he
gave Theresa Wilcox admission TO the
