BY JOHN PAUL COSGRAVE Staff Correspondent of The Call. N BOARD THE PRESIDE TIAL TRAIN, SANTA BAR- BARA, May 9.—After making his big speech at Los Angeles six years ago William Jen- nings Bryan wore out his | voice in trying to explain to a few Demo- | crats who lived in that city how the peo- ple had made a mistake in turning him down. He was vocally incapacitated be- fore he had been twenty-four hours in the State. Speaking from the viewpoint of avordupols, Mr. Bryan is a bigger and a weightler man than President Roose- velt; but, notwithstanding that fact, the President as a campaigner can wipe the floor with the man who failed to become President, and after accomplishing that feat can pull up the floor afterward. Roosevelt is a man of iron. His efforts at speaking in the open air and the long journeying by rail have not made the slightest visible impression upon him. His voice i as melodious to-day as it was | when he started from Washington. He | is no orator, as Brutus was, or as Bryan | ie, but he is a rare and convincing talker. He exvresses ideas that will bear fram- and preserving. People, both Repub- ns and Democrats, used to s: ““Mr. | Bryan is a fine orator”. after listening | to the man who did become President | they say, “President Roosevelt is a fine man.” | They know that he does not assume to be an orator in the ornate sense, and they therefore do not expect from him the rounded period, the graceful simile ror | any of the beaustnl flowers and tropes of speech by which men are often moved | to laughter and to tears, to forget them rrm the color has faded from the words and the charm of the speaker’s voice has PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AS HE APPEARED DURING HIS RECEPTIONS IN TWO CITIES WHILE ON THE RAPID TOUR OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

He expresses that which is in his mind in every day words, in household talk that even a child can understand. This quality, added to his earnestness and undeniable sincerity, makes him one of the most convincing of men. * The change of programme in the itin- erary In order that the beet sugar town and plant of Oxnard might be added to the list of places to be visited necessi- tated the rising of Governor Pardee and the newspaper correspondents in the ho- tels at a qharter of 4 in the morning to board the Presidential train, which left Los Angeles at § o'clock, three hours ear- lier than the schedule time. At this poing{ the Governor parted company with his staff, they and the legislatiVe committee of reception going to Catalina Island for recreation and he’traveling tos San Fran- cisco with the Presidential party. Oxnard was reached at 8 o'clock and a &top of ten minutes was made to enable the party to inspect the sugar works there. When the President heard that the place was only five years old he expressed surprise and admiration at the progress that had been made. He added that here- after he would believe anything good- that might be sald of California, he had seen s0 many wonders already. e VIEW OF THE SEA.‘ Chief Executive Sees 0Old Ocean From Citrus Groves. VENTURA, May 9.—‘President Roose- died awax. But the President is one of|velt. Welcome to Ventura by the Sea” was the motto painted on a large banner that greeted the President as the train slowed down at the pretty town of San Buena Ventura facing the Pacific Ocean. This was the first view of the ocean that the President has had since his arrival on the coast. It was'a good view, too, of a long strip of sandy beach, on which the placid waves broke lazily and curfed !nto foam. 4 £ This is the home of United States Sen- ator Bard, and the Senator, who had re- turned’ from Los Angeles by an evening train, was at)the depot to greet:the dls- tinguished® visitor. + A line of ‘open car- riages Tavishly ornamented with flowers and foliage and, the reception ommittee mounted on_the best horses that. the county could produce were in’attendance as escort; to' the ‘carridges. The boys ot the Thatcher School, "attired - {n “white with yellow leggings, were mounted on horses that had. acquired.or been born with the California habit of curveting and bucking, but the more they bucked and pranced the mote the boys seemed to like it. = The first place visited was the old mis- sion church, which was built in 1782, and here the President spent a considerable portion of his time examining the inter- esting relics in the interfor. The Presi- dent was accompanied by ‘Senator Bard and Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the State University. = * Froa : Returning to the grand#fand in front of the City ‘Park the President was intro- duced by Senator Bard. 55 * Montecito, a suburb of Santa Barbara, was reached at 10:45 a. m., where the re- ception committee, headed by Mayor Ed- wards, took the President and his party for a drive through thé picturesque gar- dens. At the Plaza del Mar .a great crowd had assembled. Superior Judge J. ‘W. Taggart had the honor of introducing the President, who spoke briefly. At the conclusion of the exercises in the plaza_a trip was taken to the old mis- sion and through’ the’ newer residence part of the city. During the three hours of the visit all places of business except the hotels and restaurants ‘were closed out of respect to the head of the nation. The reception at Santa Barbara was very enthusiastic. The President spoke as follows to an immense.gathering: “It has been a great and: singular pleasure' to spend 'these three days in Southern California. I 'do not know that I jever before so thoroughly understuod the phrase “A garden of the Lord.” That is what you are living in and I do not wonder that you look happy and content- ed. I should think but ill of you if you were mot. “To-day for the first time in my life T have seen the greatest of oceans.

Special Dispatch to The Call. AN LUIS OBISPO, May 9%— President Roosevelt's reception in this place this afternoon was an ovation tendered-practically | by the entire population of the county, and the enthusiasm of those greeting him was unbounded. before, perhaps with the single exception of the occasion of President McKinley's visit here two years ago, has there ever been so great a crowd in San Luis Obispo People from the four corners and all In- termediate points were here and many ever Journeyed nearly a hundred miles to see | and hear the President. Promptly on schedule time the tram from the south bearing the Presidential party rolled in, and as thronged the vicinity of the depot found accent in a mighty cheer. The appearance of the President upon the platform of the car was a signal for another spontaneous burst of hearty greeting, and had the ola Bishop of Tolosa, St. Luis, been on the ground he would not have belleved his ears. McKINLEY'S CARRIAGE. The President was met by former Su- perior Judge McD. R. Venable, now president of the City Council, and Supe- rior Judge E. P. Unangst. The carriage which was to convey the President had been so placed that it was only neces- sary for him to step into it from the platform of the car. Beside the President in this carriage were Secretary Loeb and Mayor Venable. The carriage had been handsomely decorated and was the same carriage in which President McKinley rode when he was here. It was drawn by two of the four white horses which drew President McKinley and driven by the same - driver. Bight other handsomely decorated carriages had been provided for the members of the Presidential party, and in each were one or two prominent | residents of this place. As the President was conveyed along Osos street his eye caught sight cf a large, handsome green banngr on which the letter,R had been fashioned in roses. ‘At once the significance of the design flashed upon him and was the occasion of one of his characteristic smiles as he bowed hLis acknowledgments. The desti- nation of the party was the old Mission founded in 1772. The interior of the build- ing had been magnificentiy decorated by the willing hands of the members of San Luis Parlor of the Native Daughters. VISITS THE MISSION. Father Aguilera took much pleasure in exhibiting to his distinguished visitor the old relics and ancient vestments, many of them dating back to the founding of the mission. The President took the keenest interest in inspecting the treas- it stopped thed pent-up enthusiasm of the numbers which | GET OF THE BA{LBOA.

J, May 9.—The News | has the following from its Lincoln, Neb., correspondent “William J. Bryan re- | ceived the News correspondent cor- | | dially to-day at his co dence, | four miles from this city. A typewriting | machine was clicking busily in an up- stairs room, and t mhands were at work in the adjoinir Mr. Bryan's red brick house is more modern and much more pretentious than tk some- what old-fashioned home of Grover Cleveland at Princeton. Mr. Bryan would not submit to an in- terview unless the questions were written and the answers recorded verbatim as he | spoke them. ‘“Have you met Grover Cleveland in re- :-enr. years, Mr., Bryan?’ was the first | question. “Not since I was a member of Cone * he replied. ou were invited to the dedication ex- ercises of the St. Louls World's Fair, were you not?” es, I went to St. Louis; but I went to attend the Good Roads Convention, and left there one day before the dedi- cation ceremonies began.” “The seat assigned you for the dedica- tion was not on the grandstand with President Roosevelt and former President Cleveland, but on the annex to the grand- | stana?* “No, it was not on the grandstand was on the annex. But T looked at that | kind of an invitation as one to be accept- ed or declined without any particular fm- portance being attached to it. I simply declined the invitation.” “Is it possible for Grover Cleveland to recefve the Democratic nomination next year, Mr. Bryan?” “There is not the remotest possibility of Mr. Cleveland becoming th Even his stanchest friends will not him as a candidate,” said Mr. Bryan. WANTS CHANCE TO DECLINE. | “But Mr. Cleveland apparently came out of retirement and many suppose he is seeking the nomination,” remarked the News man “I,am not in Mr. " nominee. risk Cleveland’s confl- | dence,” said Mr. Bryan, “and therefore cannot give any inside explanation: but as an outsid I venture to say that his purpose is to positively refuse to be a | candidate after a while, and then allow his friends to say that he would have been nominated and elected had he not refused to r This might afford Mr. Cleveland some satisfaction as a salve for the b es which he has sed since 1896 here is a tail of the Democratic party which was very nearly pulled out | seven vears ago that is just as monopo- listic in its tendencies as the Republican pprty is. There are also a number néwspapers calling themselves Demo- cratic that are as monopolistic, and I will name a few of them: The Chicago Chron- icle, Nashville American, Louisville Cou- rier-Journal, Boston Herald, Philadeiphia | Ledger, New York Times, Brooklyn Eagle and some others. This class of newspa- pers can be relied upon to support any Republican policies the financiers of the country are interested in. They keep up an attack on minor things and’ sometimes attack individual Republicans, but they are so closely allied to organized wealth that they simply deceive the people. If there were a law compelling these news- papers to carry the names of the men | who dictate their policies at the head of the editorial page the people would know that the supposed editors had little or no voice. These so-called Democratic news- papers can be depended upon to defend any Democrat who betrays his party and his constituents and abuse any Democrat who cannot be corrupted. “This class of newspapers represent as public sentiment that which they desire the people to think is public sentiment.” BELITTLES OVATION. Mr. Bryan said this in a way which made it plain that he thought this just what was done in the extensive comments on the ovation given Mr, Cleveland at St Louis on dedication'day. Mr. Bryan also madg it plain that he did not consider the reception given Mr Cleveland as being connected, so far as the people who made the noise were con- cerned, in the least with a Presidential boom for the sage of Princeton. “Who is to be the savior of the De- mocracy in 1904, and from what section of the country must he come?”’ Mr. Bryan was asked. * “I cannot discuss any available individ- ual for the nomination,” he said. “The geographical position of the candidate will not figure in the advantages. It mat- ters not what State he is from. He must have the qualities if we are to win. He must be in sympathy with the masses of the people and possess the moral courage to defend their rights and the integrity to resist temptation.” of | Continued on Page 3%, Column 2. l Continued on Page 32, Column 5.
