San DIEGANS To
VISIT THIS CITY
A. q. Spalding, Candidate for
U. S. Senate, to Be Among
Boosters
Southern Citizens to Aid San
Francisco Secure Panama
Pacific Exposition

Foremost among the Panama-Pacific
exposition boosters when San Diego
comes to San Francisco to Ii up
for the big fair will be Herbert G..
Spalding, the southern city's well loved
leader and the favorite of north and
south for the United States senatorship.
On Saturday next the directors Of
San Diego's exposition are to be the
guests of the local committee. They
come with news that the people of their
city have voted by an overwhelming
majority-it was 4.574 to 655-bonds in
the amount of $1,000 900 to fix up their
park with permanent buildings and
landscape gardening for local exposi-
tion site. Incidentally the same election
carried another million for road i'm
provements and other civic betterments.
This approval of bonds by San Diego
placed the final seal of ratification on
the agreement reached by representa-
tives of San Francisco and San Diego
at Washington last May.
The San Diego delegation, headed by
Spalding, will be entertained at Iun-
cheon on Saturday at the Fairmont, and
in the evening its members will be the
guests of the Union League club. At
both these affairs the stalwart San
Diegan viii probably speak What he
thinks OF the Panama Pacific exposition
is outlined in this message which was
received from him yesterday:
San Francisco's worlds fair will be
the grandest event in California's his
tory and I hope to be able to help to
make it such. The compromise agree
ment between the joint committees in
Washington was made in good faith.
The big fair at San Francisco will bring
countless thousands of visitors from all
parts of the world to this sttae, and We
of southern California do not begrudge
to the northern metropolis the honor of
acting as host for her guests and ours

outcome of the mayors injuries. If
