That no voter in the state of Cali
fornia may fail to appreciate the bene-
fits that viii come TO the common
wealth through the Panama Pacific in
ternatfonal exposition. the legislative
committee of the exposition, of which
James McNab is chairman, is strenu-
ously at work on its campaign of edu-
cation. This committee has charge of
the work that is being done to arouse
interest in the bonding propositions
which are to come before the voters at
the November election.
The two bonding questions which will
come before the people are assembly
constitutional amendment No. 50, au-
thorizing San Francisco to issue $4,000
coo bonds for the Panama Pacific expo
tion. and senate constitutional amend
nlent No. 81, providing state aid for the
Panama Pacific exposition.
ENLIST FRATERNAL ORDERS
The Panama Pacific committee on leg
islation is sending out TO all fraternal
organizations in the state literature
urging the members to vote in favor OF
the two propositions. These are dis
tributed through the grand officers of
the orders. Lots of from 900 to 26,000
=
sent out. The organizations are taking
up the question at their meetings and
are urging their membership to support
the bonds
The order of Native Sons of the
'iolden West is working most actively
for the good of the exposition, and its
influence will be q mighty factor on
election day. The candidates for gov
ernor are devoting considerable time in
their campaign speeches to the interest
Of the Panama Pacific exposition. The
interior newspapers also are strong pro-
ponents of the cause. 1t is pointed out
that the bonds will lay an inappreciable
tax on the individual property owner.
CARDS IN STATIONS
In every railroad station in Califor-
MA there are being hung in a prominent
position large cards which read: ITO
bring the people Of the world TO Cali
fornia in 1915, vote for assembly con-
stitutional amendment 80. authorizing
San Francisco to issue $5,00O.000 bonds
for the Panama Pacific exposition, and
vote for senate constitutional amend
ment 81, providing state aid for Pan
ama-Paciic exposition"
The Portuguese national union of the
state Of California, at their session in
: Vallejo adopted resolutions favorable
TO the Panama Pacific exposition prof.
ect and urged all the members to vote
for the constitutional amendments. The
resolutions declare that sit is desired
that all ganizations in California Join
hands in making the exposition a sue
cess and that expressions in favor of
such 2 tax are not designed TO influence
political action or in the nature of rec
ognition of politics or party candi-
dates" and resolves that 'the Portu-
guese union of the state of California
most heartily indorses the Panama-Pa-
cifc international exposition to be held
in san Francisco in 1915 and pledges its
cooperation and assistance"
NEW ENGLAND IN LINE
The spread of the Panama Pacific
idea through the eastern states is well
illustrated by NJ b Patton of Boston.
Mass, who is a guest at the Stewart
hotel.
The people of the New England
states are all for San Francisco for the
celebration Of the Panama Pacific ex-
position" said Patton yesterday.
There has been considerable COM
ment lately in Boston about the expo y
sition and I have been present at many
informa discussions of the matter in the
City club and the sentiments have been
practically unanimous for San Fran
cisco.
san Francisco has advantages over
New Orleans in every respect and I do
not see where New Orleans has the
least claim to the proposed exposition.
The absurdity of New Orleans advanc-
ing claim to thing which so clearly
belongs to the west coast is apparent, /
think. to every one.
Boston is unable to supply boosters
that go out in train loads like San
Francisco is doing. but think that you
viii find that a large percent of the
citizens of Boston are doing what they
can 10 boost the Panama Pacific expo
sition and 10 bring the exposition to
san Francisco.
Any one who has even been out
here could not do otherwise.
