WILL BOOST 1915
FAIR BY POSTALS
Frank L. Brown Plans a Novel
Campaign for Panama
Pacific Exposition

"The city of Omaha has Endorsed
California's Panama-Paciflc interna-
tional exposition for 1915. Organizations
in city do likewise"
The foregoing telegram was received
last evening by Frank L. Brown, dl-
rector and member of the executive
committee of the Panama-Pacifc expo
sition and chairman of the bureau of
publicity, who is in Los Angeles boost
ing the big fair among the members OF
the American Bankers association, and
it occasioned him a great deal of satis-
faction as the lining up OF the middle
west for the exposition for San Fran
cisco and California Is the object on
which the promoters are bending all
their energies at present.
In order to do this-in fact, to fire the
first shot toward getting the entire
country in favor of the exposition here
Mr.. Brown is arranging for what Will
be known as Post Card week in Cali
fornia, when every loyal Californian
will be expected to send out number
of postals, which the management of
the fair will furnish, to their eastern
friends. bearing the following slogan:
"Get your congressman and senators
to vote for government recognition of
the Panama Pacific International expo
sition at San Francisco in 1915"
These cards will be sent out through
out the entire United States, it being
expected that fully 100000 cards will
be mailed during the week.
CHILDREN WILL HELP
Already the Los Angeles chamber of
commerce has entered into the plan,
and Secretary Frank Virgins has or
dered 100, 900 post cards to be sent from
los Angeles. This number will be
doubled in time, as Los Angeles is ex-
pected to send over 25O'OOO cards.
The plan for getting all these cards
addressed is a simple as well as novel
one. The school children throughout
the state will be given five cards each,
and on a certain day-to be selected
later-they will be given one hour in
which to address the cards. The parents
of every child in school in California
are requested to give their little ones
the addresses of friends in the east to
whom the cards are to be sent.
Besides this. the business men
throughout the state are requested to
mail as many cards as possible to their
business correspondents in the east. In
San Francico the different business
houses have already according to Mr..
Brown. volunteered to mail thousands
of cards. Besides this, the club women
of the northern city have organized and
will during the week locate themselves
In every hotel and public place through
out the city and urge all with whom
tbey come in contact to send out the
cards.
TO MAIL THREE MILLION
1t is believed that a great deal of
good can be accomplished and the eX-
position almost insured to California
provided the entire 100000 cards are
made to reach the voters and citizens
of the middle west and eastern states.
For this reason everything is being
done to persuade the people Of Califor-
mia to send out cards advertising Cali
fornia as the exposition state and as
suring the world of the states ability
to have an exposition which will be a
credit to the nation.
1--WE can give the world an exposition
which will be an everlasting credit TO
California and the Pacific coast" said
Mr.. Brown last evening, "if we can Sc
cure federal recognition. In order TO
gain federal recognition the people or
the country must be shown that Cali
fornia and it's citizens mean business.
We believe that the post card campaign
will convince them of this fact, and so
we are appealing to the people of the
state to send them out"
