Schwab For San Francisco.
Charles M. Schwab, former head of
the steel trust says: "I favor San
Francisco for the Panama-Pacific ex
position in 1915, and you can put me
down among the boosters. I will also
promise that if San Francisco holds
the exposition the Bethlehem Steel
company will take part by exhibiting
its products of armor and armament,
an exhibit that has not appeared
since the Centennial exposition in
1876."
Hitchcock Favors San Francisco.
Frank H. Hitchcock, postmaster
general, says: "Nothing would please
me more highly than the selection of
San Francisco for the Panama-Pacific
exposition, and I think the record of
rebuilding and the recovery, f rom the
fire, as well as the remarkable record
made in the raising of money for the
support of the fair, should be recog
nized, and will have great weight
with congress in reaching a . decision
as to the location of the exposition."
San Francisco's Big Bid.
San1 Francisco has raised its bid for
the Panama celebration to $17,500,000.
If money talks as much to the point
in this matter as it does in most
other affairs of life, the contest is al
ready over. New Orleans will have
to be satisfied with the Mardi Gras.
