He Has "Many Things" to

Present Officials

When United States Senator James
ID. Phelan OF California was about to
board the Great Northern this morn
ing for the return trip to the coast he
made no definite promises concerning
his recommendations to the president
relative to the administration OF Ha-
waits government, but he admitted
he had considerable information to re-
port to Mr. Wilson, and his general
manner indicated his reports will be
favorable
The senator was loaded to the ears
with leis and surrounded by frienas as
he made his way through the crowd
to the steamers side, not moment
too soon. He was about the last pas
senger to climb the gang,plank and
to the last two reporters were at his
side, and may it be said that they both
received his attention even in those
last hurried moments

was fired at the statesman
There are few things | think |

with grim smile
A happy aloha was his last word
as he scrambled up the gang plank.
No attempt was made by the local
Democratic party TO Influence Senator
Phelan in any recommendation he
may make regarding Hawaii, says
Prof. w. A. Bryan, chairman of the
territorial central committee.
SO far as ! am aware there was no
effort of this kind" Bryan says. The
party had but very little time to
even entertain him. His address at
Aala park was a very clear one on
the administration and its policies. He
left with the local party the general
that the administration is
being run along lines of the type of
progress the party stands for and win
always stand for.

SENATOR WILL
BE GODFATHER
OF DEMOCRATS
]. D. PheIan of California to
Represent Hawaii Party
In Senate

In the course of a forceful political
address at Aala Park Friday night Sen.
ator James ID. Phelan of California,
replying to a suggestion by Democratic
leaders, declared he would be the god.
father in the United States senate for
the Bourbon party in Hawaii.
Senator PheIan's address was deliv-
cred at a Democratic jollification and
ratification meeting held to celebrate
the recent reelection OF Woodrow VIII
son. He took up conditions in Califor-
MIA regarding school and land legisla-
ton with regard TO the Japanese. say
ing that the Progressiyes of Califor.
MIA had joined the ranks OF the Bour-
bons largely because the party stood
for local government; that is. the
right of the state to regulate its in
ternal affairs.
He touched on Hawaii only in gen.
eral way, declaring the territory was
fortunate in being part of the Unit
ted States. Regarding conditions in
the Philippines he pointed out that,
while the government is outside Of the
constitution and that it might secure
lf-government, there was a question
in the minds OF the leaders whether
the Filipinos really desire such inde-
pendence He argued that, under self.
government, there undoubtedly would,
be trouble in the raising of means to
retain their independence.
Various local Democrats also spoke.
Several hundred people attended the
meeting

And the Great Northern crowd did
not consist entirely of the lei-laden,
confetti-clinging groups of cheering,
crying comrades en- voyage that lined
the rail: there were Just as many
goodby guests of the Great Northern
on the pier, guests who were not go

that; they wished they were if they
were sure of a return trip ticket to
this harmony, colorful land.
