CALIFORNIA; Delegation VIII
Wage Vigorous Campaign
for San Francisco

Julius Kahn. reelected TO represent
the fourth congressional district in
Washington and the spokesman for
san Francisco's Panama-Pacihc inter
national exposition, is ready for the
fight with New Orleans for congress
sionaI indorsement of the Pacific coast
project.
we will start aggressively 10 win
the exposition for San Francisco said
Kahn. we VIII start immedia tely
upon congress converting December 3.
next and viii work ceaselessly and
zealouslv 10 secure the Endorsement of
the national congress.
"As soon as ] return to Washington"
he continued. I expect 10 begin active
work I'm san Fra ancisco's fight for the
exposition. The splendid republican
victory in California yesterday will be
potent factor in our fight. thea more
especially so because OF the democratic
landslide in the east.
AS I have frequently stated, the
campaign lineup for the exposition is
as follows: There arc 1S4 democrats
in the house as ii is at present con
stituted. and 217 republican members
The large majority of democrats from
the south are by environment and
through sectional feeling practically
unanimous for New Orleans. san Fran
cisco will have 10 or u democratic
votes from the north and viii lose
about that many republican votes from
southern sections.
In order 20 win congressional rec
ognition we must have the solid sup
port Of the republican orgauizatioD in
the house Of representatives. 1t is
essential that the question be settled
At this session Of congress, with a re-
republican house
FAVORABLE TO CAUSE
"As soon as congress meets in De-
cembor the whole California delega-
tion wiz join with us in making a
determined effort TO secure the support
Of the house organization. President
Taft Speaker Cannon. Representative
Dwight OF New York, the party whip,
and Representative Loudenslager sec
retarE of the republican congressional
committee, are al IA vorable To our
cause With their active assistance we
hope TO secure the support Of all mem
bers of the republican ma iority and
that support wIl bring us victory
The city has already done its share
h~ standing bN the republican nominees
for congress from San Francisco. The
state has done its share in eleeting a
s0lid republican delegation Those fac
tors and the overwhelming majority
given 40 the constitutional amendments
iQ favor of tho fair bonds are all potent
factors which we viii he able 70 pre-
sent in support Of our worthy cause
10 our republican colleagues in 2 man
ner thst viii enlist their active as
stStance.
WILL TAKE INVITATION
"The resolution indorsing the Panama
Pacific International exposition at San
Francisco j. now on the house calen-
Oar. SO is the New Orleans resolu-
ticn. The house committee on foreign
affairs reported back both resolutions
II IS generally believed that New Or
leans win never call M her resolu-
ton. We viii take the initiative. The
governor of Louisiana said unequivo-
cslly 10 the committee on foreign af-
fairs that New Orleans would expect
government aid. The resolution reports
10 not contemplate government aid
and san Francisco specifically stands
as not asking for nor expecting one
cent Of aid from the national govern
ment.
we feel that New Orleans viii
make no effort TO secure the adoption
Of its resolution st the present time
but. on the other hand. SAN Francisco
viii press its action and will bring
the matter to an issue We viii have
IL decided upon by the present congress
at the short session between Deem 4
ber and next March, while congress
IS Of its present complexion and we
viii ask for action as soon as possi-
ble. ine December II that can be done.
Our campaign VIII be aggressive.
STATUS or THE FIGHT
The status of the resolution now
is that it is on the house calendar
il can be brought up under call Of
committee or by the rule of the house.
When we get back on the ground and
see the situation we VIII employ the
method OF bringing The matter TO de-
tcrmination which is most likely TO
insure us success.
we viii rely on bur slz 500. 900
in bonds and on our natural rights to
the exposition. and we viii make the
most energetic and aggressive cam
paigns that We are capable OF. New
Orleans is making q strong fight but
w viii cope with her
1T is Of tremendous Importance 10
san Francisco that Congressman +. A.
Hayes Of the fifth district was re-
elected - his influence is great. and
he. and in fact each member OF the
California delegation has been untir-
ing in his effbrts for San Francisco
and California's Panama Pacific -exposi- |
tion.
y must say that 7 am deeply CRATE
ful to sll the citizens OF my district
who gave me such loyal support in
this campaign. Ny success belongs to
them and ] want always TO merit their 1
rou f7Tence a nd their esteem
