port of each contending city. in which

Wright. San Diego; Alden Anderson,
president of the Sacramento Chamber
of Commerce; Thomas w. Kelly of The
Santa Cruz Board of Trade. George C
Ross OF San Mateo and Mr. kron OF
Santa Cruz joined.
Santa Cruz was described as place
in which there was never a dull mo-
ment A deal of merriment was caused
by a booming remark that 10 man,
woman or child in Santa Cruz would
resort to extortion.
The attractions and accommodations
of Sacramento were eloquently outlined
by the representatives of the capital
city. In addition to everything else
the committee announced that free car
riages would be provided for the re-
porters and artists of the press, The
Santa Cruz spokesman came back with
an offer of free automobiles for the
scribes and picture makers.
PARTIsANs VOTE PROXIES.

big bur.ch of Los Angeles proxies for
Santa Cruz. Lieutenant Governor An
derson and Robert T. Devlin were
equipped with mountain proxie. to aid
Sacramento. Jacob Shaen had on tap
goodly list of northern proxies, which
went to the Santa Cruz end of the con-
troversy.
The fact that the engagement for the
