The San Francisco call., 1910-09-19
EXPOSITION CARDS
TO FLOOD EAST
Every One Requested to Send
Postals to Persons on Other
Side of Rockies
Sentiment Is Growing More and
More in Favor of San
Francisco

In preparation for postcard week
October 1917, the publicity committee
of the Panama Pacific exposition has
devised a number of different designs
and printed postcards, which will be
distributed through the state, so that
those not caring to go to the pains of
writing out the arguments in favor
of San Francisco will accomplish the
same end by mailing one of the expo
sition cards.
The aim Is to flood the east with
the cards. The determined manner In
which San francisco is pushing the
fight for the exposition is resulting in
a change of sentiment In the east
Many newspapers formerly favortng
the side of San Francisco solely on ac-
count of the energy displayed by the
Californians.
SENTIMENT CHANGES
Illustrative of this change of
thought is a letter which the directors
of the exposition made public, received
Yesterday afternoon from Senator
Charles B. Bills of Sacramento, in
which was inclosed letter from a
prominent businessman of Chicago. In
his communication to Bills the Chicag go
man said:
California is certainly going to
it on the Panama-Pacific exposi-
tion DEAL and you may be sure that
our hopes are all with you, for 1t
to land a big proposition of this
sort. With the work you are
doing. and the money you are
esTe eendpg Pg n baVe s II Hs voo you sv ds
know, most of the papers in this
part of the country, and especially
east and south of Chicago, favor
nally, but lately many of them
have, changed their ideas and are
favoring the coast purely and SIM
ply on account of the energy you
are displaying in landing every
influence that can possibly help
you win out. Knowing your meth
cases, it looks like a safe bet that
the exposition will be swinging
on the Golden gate.
TO WIN FRIENDS
In speaking of this letter r. j.
Taussig, secretary of the exposition,
said:
It is plain that what has
of newspaper in Chicago is, as
f<le letter from this prominent man
states. the fact that California is
certainly gong TO III. Ihe energy
displayed by Californians has ex-
cited the admiration of men who
previously favored New Orleans
a the site for the exposition. If
this is so, how much greater an inn
preston can we make by all unit
ing during postcard week in dis
tributing poStalS to every one we
can think of throughout the coun-
try east OF the Rockies, telling
them of San Francisco, of why we
want the exposition: the money we
have raised, the kind of country
that surrounds us and of the sort
of exposition - surprising any
thing the world ever has seen
MIA joining in postcard cam
paign. flooding the east with ar
gumeDts for San Francisco and
the west, can not but make deep
mean thousands and hundreds of
thousands of friends for us.
