The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-25


my attention had not been directed to the
matter at an earlier date, as l should
most assuredly have laid it before the
members of the Chamber OF Commerce
and could have given a far more intelllgi-
BILE answer to the query. l certainly think
IHE CALL entitled to great praise Tor the
enterprise it is exhibiting and will gladly
donate my mite to the furtherance OF the
object"
William Beckman, president OF the
Peoples Savings Bank, said: 81 think
Sacramento should help out In this. fol
what benefits the State Dement'S the COM
| munity. Count me in. | will cheerfully
contribute my 1nite-not as banker, but
as private individual who is deeply in
terested IN the welfare of the State and
community"
B. U. Stenman, president OF the Farm
ers' and Mechanics Bank, said:
II don't think it would be advisable to
ask the people of this community to con-
tribute to such an object. They have been
bled pretty freely of late, and 1t would be
useless to offer sum less than $1,000, and
it appears to me an impossibility to raise
that sum. Personally, L am willing &c
contribute, and consider that it would be a
decided benefit to the State to have the
convention come to the coast. think
THE CALL, under it's present management,
an excellent journal and deserving OF great
praise"
w. ?. Coleman, President Sacramento
Bank:
II favor strongly the coming Of the con-
vention to San Francisco, and will per-
sonally contribute literally to that object
should it be necessary. l. believe that
almost any sum in reason could be raised
in this city. Our people are noted for
their liberality, and will freely contribute
for any object of advantage to the State
and community. l consider THE CALL de-
serving of great credit for forwarding an
object which will be, without doubt, OF the
greatest advantage to the entire State"
Edwin K. Alsip:
Without doubt Sacramento will con-
tribute to such an object, but the people of
this locality are greatly handicapped in
the benefit which would undoubtedly ac-
crue, owing to the fact that the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company do not grant
stop-oyer privileges In this city. Our
Chamber of Commerce is in communica-
ton with the company on this subject, and
We hope to be granted at least week lay
over privileges on second-class tickets,
Should this be allowed us, there is 10 doubt
in my mind that nearly all who attended
the convention would spend some days
with US, and should such be the case, the
people have such natural pride in their
beautiful city that they would be glad to
contribute literally. The CALL is rapidly
leading the journalism OF the coast, and
should be commended for the enterprise
it is exhibiting"
Frank Miller of D. o. Mills Bank said {:
81 hardly think it possible to raise a
very large sum in this locality to forward
the advent of the National Republican Con-
vertion to San Francisco, nor can I see
why We should contribute to help San
Francisco. If we had stop-over privileges
/ would strongly favor the project of rails
ing money for the purpose, which L con-
slider will be of benefit to the entire State.
| think The CALL an excellent paper and
deserving of praise for its energy in for
warding the interests of communities
throughout the State"
H. A. McClaney, member of the Union
League National Convention committee
said:
California wants that convention by all
means, and we are going to have it.
have. too much faith in the 10y atty of the
people of the State to its best interests to

interfere in the advancement of the same
The convention will bring at least 1o0, 00(
people to the coast, per cent of whom
will visit the capital of this great State
and L will state that believe that can
safely promise that Sacramento will con
tribute $1,000 toward this object and will
cheerfully contract to raise that sum. TIKI

worthy of all commentator for the enter

| Major Weinstock said:
81 think THE CALL has taken a com
mendable part in obtaining the Natioha

1 am in favor of anything that will brine
men of brains and enterprise to our State
and will willingly contribute to any sucf
enterprise. deem it the best thing for tn,
advancement of the interests of our Stat,
that has ever been advocated"
| George Katzenstein said:
There will be no trouble in raising
contribution in this city for such an OBJ
lect. Personally, am strongly in favo
of il. We want men OF brains and enter
prise to visit our State, and what is O
benefit to any one locality is a. benefit tt
all. You cannot injure one member of tn,
human body without in iuring all, neithe
can benefit help one place without it doe
all. l am broad-minded. in my opinion
and am in favor of this city lending tinan
cial aid to further this object, and 1 thinl
the enterprise displayed by THE CALL, no
only in this one matter but in its constan
advocacy of the advantages of various
localities, is deserving of great praise"

thought on the subject to give an intelli
