y Los Angeles has sent greeting to San
Francisco in the grand effort that the
metropolis of tho Pacific coast is putting
forth to secure the next session of the
Repub blican national convention for the
Pacific coast.
This has been done in an official way.
The sentiment of the entire com munity
has been voiced In a mass meeting which
was held last evening in the assembly
hall OF the cham ber of commerce. About
two hundred representative citizens
gathered there for the purpose of devils.
ing ways and means to assist San Fran
cisco in the struggle she is making to get
the ere,t gathering of statesmen who are
y,lways attracted to aInational convention.
1t was an enthusiastic meeting. Every
person present was thoroughly imbued
with the idei that it was important to
the entire west. to California in general
and to Southern California in particular.
that if such thing was possible the Re.
publican convent IN should be convened
in tho city by the Golden Gate. Every
one who spoke upon the subject last
night was impressed with the fact that
reasons why San Francisco would be OBJ
jected to as the meeting place for great
national political caucus should be left
to eastern competitors to suggest. The
opinion was general that it was not tor
Southern California to point out the
facilities San Francisco was lacking as an
acceptable convention town. but rather
to pitch in and make up for any oelin.
quencies that might exist.
1t was at pm. when G. E. Day called
the me eeting to order.
MAYOR RAIDER PRESIDES.
Upon motion of Governor J. J. Gosper,
Mayor Prank Grader was unanimously
chosen to act as chairman. Upon taking
the chair the head of the city govern
ment received q warm welcome. When
the applause ceased he delivered q brief
address, in substance saying:
II consider it O great honor, fellow
citizens. to preside over this meeting of
representative citizens. If the object for
which we are gathered is carried to sue
oessful conclusion it will be OF inestima-
BILE value to the entire state as q whole.
We..should not hesitate to lend our en-
dorsement to the proposition to get the
Republican convention for San Franc isco
for it will tend to the glory and advance
ment of the commonwealth. We will see
20 it that Southern California gets its
proportion Of the benefits. Our friends
IN San Francisco are moving heaven and
earth to get the convention. and we are
going to help them. There is no politics
about this matter. All factions and all
divisions are equally interested. We will
lay aside oil considerations save the pub
lie good and labor for the common end.
Delegates to the national convent ntion of
great political party are always repre-
sentative of the brains of the party, and
1t is well ii an opportunity is afforded US
to show them what we have here on the
coast-to get better acquainted, they with
us ana we with them"
Upon motion of Captain II. q. Osborne.
W. s. Creighton, editor of The Herald,
was elected vica-chairman. /. H. La
Vesn was chosen secretary.
Congressman James McLacblan. who |
has been verv enthusiastic supporter of
the idea that Los Angeles should mani. |
Test her desire to assist San Francisco in |
her present contest, was called for. Amid !
applause ne arose and in brief said:
All the men who come to the Pacific |
coast on their first trip are surprised to |
see Tor themselves what we have here. |
Now there is an opportunity offered to |
bring to the coast men who have not only |
never been here BEFORE but who have
great influence and standing not onIv at !
the national capital but oil over the |
United States. 1t is the opportunity of !
Lifetime. We should all be willing an,
We should be anxious to enter this con.
test in behalf OF San Francisco. Did she
not send her Half Million club down here
to help US with the Fiesta? Now we can
help San Francisco, return that compli.
ment and also help ourselves. The time
has arrived when we should all come to-
fether to aid any worthy object that will |
assist our stats and this proposition we !
have met to give boost is certainly one
worthy oil our aid"
