The very natural and commendap pl Q
pride tnat Angelenos have for their beau
tiful city is, for the nonce, being sunk in
pride for the state.
Interest is very generally being
aroused in the efforts that are being put
forth in order that the next National Re-
publican convention be held in San Fran
cisco. 1t is generally understood that
when this laadable desire its gratified
not San Francisco only, but every section
of the state, will reap a very decided and
material benefit. A very large mum Der
of the delegates will be men Of Light
and leading in the councils of their
party and they will be afforded an oppor-
tunIy, not otherwise obtainable, of un-
derstanding by personal observation and
contact with people OF va;ied opinions,
the needs of the state which have, in
certain directions been ignored.
Then, again, opportunity will be af-
forded the visitors to the metropolis of
the north. by reduced rates on the lines of
railroad, to see some of the glorIas of tn G
golden state. 1t is not to be conceived
that of the vast host of delegates and
visitors that will come westward in their
train, very large proportion Will
not come southwark into the land of
sunshine and flowers, the attractions of
which have been made known throue :
out the union by well advised m visionary
efforts of the chamber of commerce. as
well as by word of mouth by the visitors
who yearly seek relief from the Iigors of
al eastern winter.
Southern California needs manufactor-
les. The question of fuel has been set
tied definitely by the discovery in this
city and elsewhere of a prolific oil sup
ply. In the convention will be men of
wealth-business men of keen percep ptton
who are always alive to opportunities for
profitable Investment. To manv of these
the openings for business enterprise in
the southern part of the state will be in
the nature of q revelation.
For all these and many other reasons
that might be adduced it is matter or
congratulation that the leading citizens
of Los Angeles realize the importance of
the National Republican convention
being held at San Francisco. and are
willing to place themselves on record as
not only favoring the scneme. bat stand
ready to contribute according to their
means in aid of SO worthy cause.
TO FOCUS THE SENTIMENT.
A mass meeting has been called by the
chamber OF commerce of San Francisco
Tor Monday evening, November 9th. The
local cbamoer of commerce, at meeting

cham Der OF commerce hall. On that oc.
casion there will be drafted and trans
mltted to the meeting at San Francisco
such resolutions as may be deemed prom
er ana expedient, expressing the good
Will and best wishes for the success of

Simply as rejecting to large extent
the favorable opinion that appears to be
general, and that is becoming more pro.
nounced as the business community thor
oughly considers the. ad van tages to be de-
rived should the cohorts of Republican
ism gather IN San Francisco. the epito-

The Herald has sounded the tocsin,"
remarked Congressman ]. McLachlan,
"and now it IS tor us to pitch in and do
everything that We can to get the conven-
