Panama California exposition to be
held at San Diego in 1915, has sent out
an appeal to all Californians to show
their pride in their state and it's ad-
vancement by rolling up a big major
ity in November for the constitutional
amendment providing for the issuance
of bonds to help defray the cost of the
exposition planned for San Francisco
in 1915.
Mr.. Collier calls attention to the fact
that San Francisco and San Diego are
working together, each doing all it
can to further the exposition planned
by the other. At q conference held re-
Gently between the exposition officials
of the two cities, the scope Of under
taking was outlined and a basis
reached for cooperation. In this con-
nection Mr.. Collier says:
"a recent conference between repre-
sentatives of the San Francisco and
San Diego expositions, held in Wash
ington, resulted in what is known as
the Washington compromise thus
bringing the two interests firmly to-
gether for harmonious action and de-
fining the scope for each exposition,
making it possible to hold two eX-
positions in California in 1915, both of
which are certain to add to the glory
and aid greatly IN the material dQ-
vancement of California.
"At this critical time we, who have
already financed and are carrying on
the exposition work for San Diego, de-
sire to urge all voters to do their ut
most to secure a substantial major
ity in November for the constitutional
amendment submitted by the special
session of the legislature.
PLAN JOINT FAIR
New Orleans is making desperate
efforts to secure congressional recogni-
tion for a great worlds fair celebrating
the opening of the Panama canal in
1915. In order to win, San Francisco
must make the fight of her life. The
success of the fair in San Diego now
depends largely upon a great worlds
fair being held in San Francisco.
Probably go per cent of the travellers
who visit the fair in San Francisco
will also visit the San Diego fair, for
| the reason that most round-trip tick
cts will cover both locations.
"Should the great worlds fair go to
New Orleans, San Diego would be in
very poor shape to hold successful
| exposition If she had the only cele-
| bration in the United States in the way
of an exposition she would make a
success of it, Through joint exposi-
| ton In San Francisco and San Diego,

widest possible advertising, the ben
eflts from which cannot be overesti-
mated.
'We appeal to all leaders of thought
and action in every community In Cal
ifornia, big or small, to take up the task
of acQuainting our people with sense
of the immense value the two eXposi-
tions of 1915 will be to their state and
of urging upon them the Importance of
voting for the constitutional amend
ments presented in furtherance of the
efforts to secure adequate financial
support for California's great expo
sition at San Francisco"
