.LONGWORTHS
LIKE Us WELL
CFrom Thursdays Advehtiser.)

"We fell in love with Honolulu
when we We're here before and we
have always wanted TO get back here
for another VISIT said Hon. Nicholas
Longworth yesterday, giving this as a
reason for the visit he ana Mrs. Long
worth, who was here last as Alice
Roosevelt, daughter of President Roose-
welt, propose paying to the islands, a
visit which will last until September
5. There is nothing political in Mr..
Longworth s trip, which is one of pleas
ure and rest solely.
Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth are com
fortably located in the largest of the
cottages at the Seaside and already
they have resumed the surf-riding which
was summarily cut short two years ago
by the sailing of their steamer for the
mainland. Secretary Atkinson accom-
panied them in their canoe rides and
saw that no accidents occurred. The
Secretary will be, in fact, the COM
panion of the Longworths in all their
various trips about the islands, doing
the planning for them and having all
the details left in his hands.
81 understand that he knows the
ropes pretty WELL" said Mr.. Long
worth, and we have left all our plans
in his hands. We hope to make trip
around the islands and see many of
the things we have been long wanting
to see but which so far we have only
heard of. I got a scorched postcard
from the volcano a short time ago, sent
me by my friend Congressman Cole and
l am going to return the compliment.
Cole and 1 not only come from the
same state, but we entered politics to-
gether, being elected the same year
to the State House and in the same
year to Congress, in addition to which
we have stumped together and are
close, personal friends.
"There is nothing political in my
visit. 1t is probable that L will see
a good deal of Secretary Straus while
he is here, but 1 do not propose to
take any part in the investigations
he is to carry on. I do not even know
definitely what he is here for.
81 see that Ohio has endorsed Taft
for the Presidency" said the Congress
man, turning the subject from himself
and his wife and drifting into politics,
in spite of the assertion that he was
not interesting himself in national af-
fairs at present. 81 am Taft man,
you know, and 1 am, doing everything
can to boost him."
When it was suggested that so far
as voting for the Chief Magistrate was
Hawaii was not in it, he an
swered that the six votes the Terri
tory had in the National convention
would help some. Evidently a part of
the pleasure that the President 8 SON
n-law is looking forward to in Hawaii
IS to have an instructed delegation go
from here to the meeting of the nomin-
ators of the next Republican candi-
late for the White House.
Yesterday afternoon Chief Justice
Frear called at the Longworths' cot
age, he, with the exception of secre-
AIRY Atkinson, being the only one so
.ar to pay their respects to the dis
inguished couple. Within the next few
lays, however, the Seaside is sure to
,e the social center of the city for
he time being. The reports in the
San Francisco papers to the effect that
he Longworths were avoiding social
is said by Mr.. Long
worth to have been a mistake. As a
natter of fact they were only in San :
Francisco for couple of days and had
o time either for entertaining or for
eing entertained.
1t is expected that they will be pres
mt at the dance to be given at the
easide tonight in rheir and Secretary 2
traus' honor and dinner invitation
Or Sunday night has been accepted by !
lrs. Longworth, in the party to be r
lr. and Mrs. Longworth, Mr.. and Mrs. 3
aek London and Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
