HawIey Mont -Committal.
While Congressman Hawley could
not be seen, It is understood by the
candidates generally that he expects
to name the postmaster in his home
city without consulting the rest of
the delegation and in this he is prob
ably justified. His scholarly duties
In the past have made It impossible
to take as active a part in local poll

PRESIDENT TAFT
GIVES SENTIMENT
Nations of the Earth Tuesday
Next Pay Their Tribute
to This City

Now we have the sentiment to which.
next Tuesday at II M. Pacific time, q
planet will quaff its goblet in tune with
the good spiritsof San Francisco.
1t is the Portola toast, President
william H. Taft's hearty epitome of
the glory and achievements of San
Francisco, his twice imperial city of
the Pacinc." 1t contains the best word
that the president has for San Fran
cisco, and that word is-.May her flu
ture growth be as rernarkabIe as her
past, and may her civic righteousness
and the individual happiness of her
citizens keep pace with It,"
In brief. President Taft's benediction
on this city IS that its history OF ac-
complishment may repeat itself Since
he has seen the city manitoba its own
glories. the compliment could not be
more sincere, nor could there be a
toast which San Franciscans would pre-
pare more eagerly to celebrate.
1t is toast that can be ilonored nobly
in rich wines or humber liquors; in
pure water or stimulating tea, or you
can drink to 1t only with thine eyes
and cath the twinkle in the eye of the
city as it will CLEAN brightly next
Tuesday noon.
President Taft's Portola toast is to
be the most widely offered sentiment
in the history OF libations to gods or.
cities. In San Francisco at noon next
Tuesday every citizen will pause to
quote the compliment and best wish.
While the church bells are changing
and the whistles are sounding in grand
exaltation of the city's triumph, the
bell ringer will hold his goblet in one
hand and the engineer will tie down
his valve that he can devote himself to
the pleasant draught
Straight across the continent, in New
York city. every Knickerbocker will
pause in his task or merry making, by
order of the mayor of his city, and pour
out generous measure to the honor
of San Francisco. In Chicago, Wash
inston, Boston, in every city the grace
of San Francisco will be recited over
the glass. Two million school chill
dren will arise In their places and
their quaint, solemn lips will enunciate
the toast. In London, Paris, Warsaw,
Changchow the words will be uttered.
And no head will be the larger for the
liberal draft because every heart will
swell with pride In San Francisco un-
til ii is large enough to assimulate
any sized potion.

San Francizeos He also denied that
there had been a conference OF rsiIroad
magnates attended By Hill. ]. P. Nor
gan. Hartman and Hawley representa-
tives in New York during his visit
there.
MY visit was connected only with
business relating to our own companies.
All that 1 saw of Morgan was a short
personal CALL" said Hill. "and we did
not discuss Hawley's plans at any time.
Mr. Hawley is an energetic railroad
organizer and II he desires to connect
several of his roads into one system I
can't see why i should object or ap-
prove"
Stories tpublishsd along the Pacific
coast to the effect that the Oregon
trunk line proposed to build into San
Francisco were emphatically denied by
Hill.
All building which that line will do
will be done In Oregon" said he. there
is plenty of room for new feeders in
that state and mileage which we ex-
pect to add to our system will be con-
fined to that state. We have no inten-
tion of entering California
do you intend to strengthen. the
Great Northern's steamship connection
with California points?r was asked.
I'VE do not care for California busi-
ness at ALL" was the reply.
The northwest is developing rapid
ly enough to keep our lines busy for
years and we can see no necessity for
extending our lines TO California"
