This statement was made yesterday BY
Robert Newton Lynch vice president and
manager OF the California Development
Board. headquarters In san Francisco, In
a call on c. G. Rosewater. general manager
Of The Bee. Mr.. Lynch declared himself en-
thusiastlc over the land show and stated
Immediately that California wanted space.
And when 7 SAT- California, said MIR.
Lynch. IL mean All OF California and not
merely San Francisco, Los Angeles or some
Of the other more important cities. The
board Of which I am manager stands for
the whole state. Governor Glllett is presl-
dent Of the board, and It is an institution
belonging to the whole people OF California,
regardless OF section. California, as every
body knows is not only a wonderful state,
as rich in resources as in romance Of early
history but it IS big state too in a
sense OF area-the biggest state Of the union
with the exception OF Texas Nine hundred
miles from north to south limits is the
distance. and that covers a variety OF soil
and climate. We hold the theory that all
Of California is good, and we make it a
point to boost the whole state"
Pulls for Exposition.
From Omaha, Mr. Lynch will go TO Chi

cided by the late election clinches the
whole matter as a business proposition
said Mr.. Lynch. and congress can hardly
fail 10 award the exposition to the place
that can worthily celebrate such a great
event as the opening OF the canal.
The climate OF San Francisco Is ideal In
tho summertime and those who come to the
1915 exposition will be able to see the
wonderful miracle In reconstruction which
the city itself has created. Travellers q

educational value OF trip across the coun.
try, bringing all parts Of the country to-
gether. can hardly be overstimated.
THE Panama canal Is D Pacific ocear
proposition, and It seems logical that the
exposition should be held where the Unitec
States has its most magnificent harbor.
Says New Orleans Asks Aid.
THE claims Of New Orleans are hardly
