Labor declares the reason for the de-
lay is to put off the selection and the
commencement Of work on the fair
grounds until after the time has pass
ed when laborefs can come to the
city, establish residence and register
, for the primaries-and vote for Nc
Carthy in the fall
1t is a fact that if work could be
commenced at once on the fair thou
sands of workmen would undoubtedly
move to San Francisco and establish
| residence here, and probably nine
tenths of those men would vote for
Mccarthy as a labor leader, because
! they don't know about anyone else.
! No right minded person however, takes
that statement seriously however as
the reason for the delay in locating
the fair.
1t is a peculiar fact that one of the
strongest arguments brought forward
! by those who favor the park and
oppose Harbor View is that if it goes
to Harbor View, Oakland will bene-
fiji more than anyone else, and at
San Francisco's cost, for say these
hot-headed arguers, boats will leave
Oakland every few minutes, run di-
rectly to the fair grounds, and take
the people back to Oakland direct,
without giving them an opportunity to
see San Francisco Their narrow
minded policy is to put the fair in
some part of the city where no one
could possibly get to it without travel
ing clear across the town. They want
to put it inside a wall, in ither words.
Their jealousy of Oakland seems to

one else get any benefit until they
are surfeited with results themselves
So intent are these people on the
park fight that they will go to almost
any ends to win point. They circu
lated the story that when the people
voted last fall to bond the city, it was
with the express proviso that the fail
he put in the park. This statement
. has been denounced as untrue by
President Moore. Also the agitation il
started that unless the fair is put il
the park many contributors will hav,
cause to refuse to give the money
they had previously donated for the
fair bonds. A man told me only yes
terday that if the fair went to Harbol
View, Governor Johnson would no
permit the states $5,00O,000 to be useC
to build up Harbor View, and he furth
er said that if the directors persisted
in their desire to place the fair on the
water front at Harbor View, that
delegation one thousand strong wa
going to Sacramento to demand tina
the states money be withheld from
the project. He ended up by Offering
to bet me $25 that if the site of tn
fair was decided as Harbor View tina
there would never be a worlds fai

only an average partizan.
In the vote made public the direc
tors in their voting were divided be
tween three places, the original Colder
Gate Park site being eliminated. o
the three sites the majority votlnl
. favored Harbor View, but until ma
jority of the whole directorate favo
one site, it will not be selected. Afte
fruitless voting the other day, the mex
meeting was postponed until the mid
die of July, at which time it is hope,
the entire fair directorate will be OF
hand for the final vote.
