Too much business III Ine udLelS VI eAO
committee prevented such delegation
making the trip. AS a result the COM.
mittee of citizens of Sacramento wired the
.Half-million Club that the mass-meetlng
had been postponed until tonight ana
requested that speakers be sent to ADDRESS
the public of the capital city this evening.
The committee on promotion OF the Halt
million Club was even unable to reply
favorably TO this request, so it IS more
than likely that Sacramentos mass
meeting will be Just as enthusiastic from
the source of information supplied. by its
local delegates to the Half-million Club.
Sacramento is not alone in its mass
meetings without speakers from San
Francisco. TuIare;. Stockton and MERGED
sent similar requests, none OF which couad
be complied with,
