This city, which has as It's motto.
San Francisco Knows How" Is go,
ing to try to make a record as an
entertainer that will not leave bad
taste In the mouth OF any delegate
or visitor.
1--WE desire to entertain them--not
to gouge them. We wish to leave
such good taste In their month,
that they will commend us, not crit.

postmaster has taken the leading
part In preparing for the thousands

of San Francisco and Oakland were
handed over In bulk by the Hotel

for delegates were made via the 40

The Weather Program.
The Democratic National conven-
tion to be held here beginning June
2s, will be the first Eight overcoat"
national convention in history.
Convention crowds, instead OF
wearing ice cream suits" and light
summer dresses made necessary by
the heat of the usual convention
city on all other occasions, will wear
overcoats and furs If they wish to
be comfortable.
The warning was sent out TO con-
vention visitors today to bring the
light overcoat and the fur along.
This is not because bad weather Is
expected, but because such garments
are in order in San Francisco on any
normal day throughout the year.
San Francisco's rainy season will
be definitely over some weeks be-
fore the convention starts. and sunny
weather. with just fog enough to be
interesting, can practically be prom
ised. The fact that there Will be
