Thct Is the Way Joe Manley
Looks at II
HE TALKS ENCOURAGINGLY
Now that He Has Seen Southern Cell
f0rnia He Is Enthusiastic
A San Diego Man Writes a Letter that Sc
cures One Vote on the National
Committee for the West

vention." This is what joe Manlsy says,
and he Is the secretary IF the Republican
National com % ittee and ought to know
what he is talking about. Really the
gentleman should be addressed as the
Hon. Joseph H. Manley of Maine, TO r he
has for years been one OF the foremost
figures in Republican national politics.
But throughout the CASE they all talk
abont zoe" Manlsy. No ono ever thinks
Of referring 60 him by any other name.
"Yes. now that I have seen Southern
California, Am more firmly convinced
than ever that San Francisco should be
selected as the convention town." said
M. Manlsy.
"Bu} let me tell you one thing. You
let the people east Of the Rockies pick out
the Disadvantages that San Francisco
would labor under as the meeting place
for the convention. Enough of them will
be found by eastern people witho your
own people here on the Pacific enumer-
ating them.
'Why, this talk about tina telegraph
facilitie, at SanFrancisco eing mad .quate
is being unnsctssal l, enlarged on. The
truth of the matter is that the telegraph
facilities of the Golden Gate City are am.
pie to send out full and adequate reports
of the convention to all parts of tho
world: Only those VINO are opposed to
San Francisco az the place of meeting for
the convention are bringing up that
question.
"You see it is this way. The national
committse will meet in Washington just
one month from today, at 2 p. M. to Sc
lect the date ana place for holding the
convention. At the evening session the
roll of the states and territories will be-
called. As the name OF zach state is
called, the claims of any city in that
state as place of meeting Will be pre-
sented by one, two or three representatives.
OF the city in question as the casa may
be. The speakers are confin ned to state.
ment of the advantages of their city. and
OF com petng town.
II honestly think and sincerely hope
that San Francisco will get the conven-
ton. 1t would be deserved recognition
of the great and growing west"
The Hon. N. Cakes Murphy, delegate
in congress for the territory Of hrizOna,
WAS in the city yesterday en- rorte to his
tome at Phoenix Mr.. Murphy has been

ing the national convention held in San
Francisco, he looked into the subject
little while knocking around in the big

Eyes, ] talked to humble of prom nent
Repu blicans on the subject" said Mr..
Murphy, land they all seem very favorably
inclined toward San Francisco. Many said
unqualiiedly that the convention ought
to be held on the Pacific coast. Our ma
tional committeeman from Arizona. Mr..
Griffith, is going to do some tail hustling
for San Francisco. ] tell you if We do get
the convention here, which seems quite
certain at this time, it will be a great
thing for Us all. "
San Diego has also livened up on the
proposition and her citizsns have entered
the lists to assist San Francisco all in
their power. Jim S. Callen, James Cope
land and Charles Pauly were in the city
Yesterday from the city of bay n climate.
They say that every San DieRan will
pitch In and help in every way possible.

ming. HE Is the memb of the Repub-
Lean national committee from the Jay
hawker state ! am person i.y acquaint-
ed with him, and requested him as fav
to me to vote for San Francisco. He has

San Diego bar and is rated rs one of the
most eloquent speakers In Southern Cali
fornIs.
Here in Lus Angeles San Frsncisco's
fight has not abated. The permanent
committee that has the matter in charge
has not been idle. The chairman has
forwarded several letters to prominent
eastern Republicans that were sent in by
citizens. These letters were addressed 70
