'Preaty Unpopular in North

In San Francisco and the northern
part Of the state the case is different.
In San Francisco the treaty does not
seem to be popular. At San Diego,
the extreme southern part of the state,
it is about "hfty-hfty." The crowds
which greeted the President were large
and enthusiastic in both cities, al
though no greater than those which
greeted former Colonel Roosevelt on
his last appearance here.
