Washington.-San Francisco won q
signal victory in the house OF repre-.
sentatives Tuesday in the fight with
New Orleans for the Panama exposi.
ton in 1915. The resolution declaring
in favor of San Francisco was passed
by vote Of 259 to 43. The house
first voted to take up the resolution
favoring San Francisco.
While the resolution must be passed
by the senate before the struggle IS
ended. 1t is generally believed now
that the contest was good as settled
and that San Francisco will be the
final victor.
San Franeiseo's strength came al
most wholly from the Republican ma
1ority in the house, while New Or
leans was favored by the Democrats.
San Francisco scored it's first vic
tory when the house voted, 1873 to 1859.
to take up the San Francisco PROPOSE
ton ahead OF that for New Orleans
exposition.
The San Francisco proposition is
contained in joint resolution which
simply asks government recognition
Of the exposition and inviting foreign
nations to participate.
The New Orleans measure is a
house bill asking recognition by the
government. an invitation to foreign
nations to participate and calling for
An appropriation of 100000 for a

The advocates of San Francisco led
The debate with twenty minutes. New
Orleans followed with thirty. and San
Francisco closed with ten minuets.
Most of the San Francisco speeches
we're limited to two minutes and the
debate had not progressed far when
It was seen that party lines were not
to be strictly drawn.
Enthusiastic demonstration from
the Democratic side OF che house
