Invites the Presidential
Candidate.
especial to the Advertiser)

BOSTON, August 3.-Vice President
Fairbanks has expressed to the Adver-
tiser correspondent his interest in Ha-
wall and a wish that he may be able
to visit the Paradise of the Pacific be-
fore long. Seated in an open carriage
with Mayor Fitzgerald. the Vice Pres
ident chatted freely with little group
of newspaper men who gathered
around him as the parade halted for
ten-minute rest. The Advertiser repre-
sentative extended an invitation to
visit Hawaii and Mr.. Fairbanks re-
sponded with enthusiasm;
THANK you, very much. 1 Would
like to do so and possibly it may be
arranged later"
On political subjects the Tall Syca-
more of the Wabash" was as mum as
the proverbial oyster, but actions often
sneak louder than words, and in this
case the actions of the Hon. Charles
Warren Fairbanks proclaimed in no
uncertain tones, 'I am in the Presiden-
tiaI race to stay" There is no doubt

his arrival Fairbanks stock was on
the bargain counter with no takers,
hut now he can count his friends by
the score. Boston has failed to find a

davs of the past week, but there was
no drop in temperature as the wee
Presidential carriage went by.
True. there was the Fairbanks dig
nifty, but of a brand scarcely TO pe
called frigidity, for the candidate was
ON hand with a bow and wave OF the
hat at every semblance OF cheer
while he rose in the carriage ana falr-
Ilv beamed at the ovation ne received
along most of the parade's route Al
each pause by the way he called the
little children to the side OF the car
riape and in Castle Square greeted
svmpathetically a crippled lad whoh
the Mayor called. The scofers Will say
these things were done for political ei'
feet. Perish the thought! But any
