The Herald's suggestion that Los Ange-
les join hands with San Francisco in Sc
curing the national Republican conven
tion for that city, and re::der all the as
sistance possible in that direction, is
meeting with universal favor. Dem ocrats
as well as Republicans approve it, and
sentiment may bs said t. be practically
unanimous on the question. He raid re-
pOrters yesterday interviewed o nm Der
OF leading citizens, irrespective of politics,
whose opinions are given as follows:
Desuty District Attorney f. r. Willis:
81 think the idea good one. In mat
tiers of this kind the whole state should
work together. for what benefits one sec
ton benefits all. l also think the idea of
issuing ticket, to contributors a good
one, and stand ready to put up my share
whenever it is called for by the proper
authorities"
District Attorney Donnel: "The idea
is great one. 1t should bs done by all
means. The Republican national conven-
ton in San Francisco woud be worth
thousands of dollars to the state"
County Clerk NewlIn: Il certainly
favor the idea. 1t will be a great advsr.
tisement to California to have the nation
al Republican convention in San Fran
| cisco. 1t Will add thousands to toe popu-
lation OF the state and millions to its
! wealth.
| Supervisor A. W. Francisco: IL favor
! the idea and think i, should receive the
| encouragement of all citizens, irres pective
of party. 1t will add greatly to the ma
! terial progress of the state"
Supervisor James Hay: Eyes, let us all
| help ont. We will benefit as well as San
| Francisco"
/ Supervisor James Hanley: although
| a Democrat, if | might be permitted to
| make remark. 1 think the idea a good
| one. 1t will help advertise the state and
| Its resources.
Mayor RAIDER expressed himself as be-
| ing heartily in favor OF bringing the pro-
! posed convention to San Francisco.
This is not matter of one city against
another said he. yesterday. ''lt is q
big subject. the effect OF which. if the
| convention comes to the Pacific coast,
ance from British Colum bia to the Next
| can line"
Walter +. Parker, the mayors secre
tary. expressed himself in similar
| strain, as did every member of the city
council, both Republicans and Demo-
mem bers of the Republican national com
mittee from both North and South Da-
| koGa, who arc personal friends of his, re-
| Guesting that they use their influence to
bring the convention this way.

| proposition, voiced tho sentiment ex-
pressed by other prominent citizens. and
went step farther by saying it should
receive the hearty support OF everyone,
regardless of party or sectional feeling
"The importance OF the Getting cannot be
| overestimated. Californians have always
shown q spirit of enterprise in all mat
tiers undertaken by them, and ii is prob
| able that in the present instance their en-
ergy will overcome the difficulties that
stand in the way. Mike De Young made
hard fight for the convention four years
ago, but it was Il inge.handed fight
against the power of other men all work
ing for their own localities and having
| the advantage of more favorable posi-
| ton, OF what was considered a more ia
vorabe position. Now the matter is re-
ceiving the attention Of all prom inent

| in the adio ming states.
"Some objections have been raised
against San Francisco as the place OF
meeting. bus the principal ones OF them
are OF no consequence. Such questions

obstacle stands in the way so far as such
things are concerned. There may be
some trouble, however, in securing sutf-
cient telegra pho facilities for the eastern
press. II has been stt ted on the author
ity of one who is IN position to know,
that the lines now running from San
Francisco across the continent could not
much more than furnish reports for one
| or two of the great New York dailies.
The principal thing now, however, is
to secure the necessary votes of the com
! mitteemen to bring the convention 10
this ooast. The suggestion of The Herald
that all persons having any acquaintance
among the itteemen should write
to him and ask his support for the propo-
stion, is right along the line that will
be most effcctual in securing the desired
! result. One or two gentlemen have al
ready written, so they assure me, and if
everyone will DO likew ths proba bill
ties OF getting the convention Will be in
creased" q
