p =. Following the luncheon at the Fair
mont Secretary Daniels met members
of the Portola committee in the fair
mont library. The secretary assured
-the committee the entire Pacific feet,
including his pet boat. the Raleigh, will

pect the canal to be open at that date.

FAVoRS PORToLA
The navy department wants to do
everything in its power for the sue
cess of the Portola." said Secretary
Daniels and the committee was well
pleased with his cordial feeling toward
the celebration.
In an interview Secretary Daniels
said there have been more enlist
ments in the navy during the last three
months than in any other three months
in the history of the nation in times
Of peace"
This record Secretary Daniels attrib-
utes to his established policy of keep
ing the ships Of the line on the move
and giving the boys a chance to see
the world. In the words of the news
paper Office, Daniels says, 1T is good
advertising and a puller for ambitious
young men,"
Equal suffrage was the theme of
the secretary's address at the recep-
ton of the San Francisco center in
the white and gold room at the ST.
Francis. In his measured southern
way, Daniels drove in many a blunt
paragraph in favor of universal suf-
frage. He is an ardent champion of
the women in matters of government
IDEALS. LEAD LOVE
There was a high noted murmur Of
objection in the reception room when
Secretary Daniels said, II don't be-
lieve any woman ever loved the man
she married"
He paused. allowed the faces Of the
500 women to grow stern and then
proceeded: "She was in love with an
IDEAL thought, the man she took for
her husband was her ideal. but by
and by that love is wholly the ideals
she sees in him.
An echo OF the T. W W riot in Seat
lie during the Potlatch. when Secretary
Daniels was there several days ago,
was heard at the Fairnont Some
persons in Seattle blamed the secretary
OF the navy for melting the sailors to
acts of violence against the red flag of
the l. w. W.'s by his enthusiastic words
on patriotism and devotion to the flag
Judge w. W. Morrow, the sailor
Judge" as President Moore introduced
him, approved of Secretary Daniels in
strong adjectives.
JIDGE MORROW LAUDs PATRIOTISM
I'VE like Secretary Daniels" Judge
Morrow said. He believes in navy
md feels himself deeply interested in
the Pacific ocean.
we indorse his position with re-
spect to the American flag" the gray
haired jurist shouted, pointing to the
national colors above the four stars
anchored on field of blue, the secre-
tary of the navy's flag. He believes
that flag should be respected at home
as well abroad, and 'them's our SEN
timents"
Judge Morrow received big an
plause.
When Secretary Daniels came in view
of the enormous machinery hall on the
exposition site, his exclamations of ad-
miratton were superlative. At each
new wonder he became eager to see
more and was late in reaching the re-
ception downtown because he would
tarry over the sculpture and plans on
the exposition site.
II. d. II. Connick, director Of works,
had Secretary Daniels in tow and kept
him interested in the service building.
The lighting effects that will be pro-
duced on the towers by means of the
reflected rays of powerful searchlights
upon jewels in the figures particularly
pleased Secretary Daniels
President Moore gave Secretary DAN
iels three diamonds, all larger than the
famous Koh-I-Noor. but not so valu-
able The gifts cost comparatively
little and are the Jewels to be used in
the decorations 10 produce wonderful
effects.
