Heavy Convention Work Will
Soon Begin All Over
the State.
GOOD TIMBER FOR WASHINGTON.
The Executive Committee Has the
Best Men on the Coast From
Which to Select.

strength exhibited by San Francisco in
the convention project there is something
very encouraging about the way the coun-
try is standing in and lending its assist
ance. From the northern to the southern
part of the State there is an evident desire
on the part of the people to do all in their
power to increase the fund and thus give
our committee, soon to go on to Washing
ton, sufficient assurance that any amount
OF money demanded of them by the Ma
tional Committee will be forthcoming at
the right time.
There is no doubt about the sum being
gathered together within twenty-four
hours after the committee makes it's wants
known to our representatives. AS in all
cases OF similar nature there are some
men who absolutely refuse 20 put up a
dollar, and they can well afford it. These
individuals are so scarce, however, that
they have no particular weight, and are
mere specks among the great mass of lib
eral, coun.ry-loving, patriotic men who
are ever ready to band together for the
common good Secretary Litchheld of the
finance committee has found a few of these
people, and in some cases they are the
ones who will be most benefited.
Yesterday the executive committee of
the committee on promotion met at its
rooms in the Chronicle building and drafted
the following letter which is to be sent to
each member of the committee located in
different parts OF California:

The regular executive committee held an
executive session yesterday, with Wendell
Easton in the chair, and discussed the
plans touching on the question of sending
delegates to Washington to influence the
National committeeman in favor of select
ing San Francisco as the next convention
city. They have had presented to them
great many names OF gentlemen who offer
to volunteer their services and time in this
matter. 1t will be necessary to select the
very best timber for this work, and the re-
suit Of their deliberations will probably be

among our moneyed men, and those who
