/\ The "something doing" has begun in c^»t and the busies
■li ness streets of Los Angeles last night gi^^^n excellent
imitation of the coming Elks' week, which begins m^^Wnest this
forenoon. Special trains were coming in all day, evcry^kjailable
automobile was seized to take guests over the city, the hotenK^jan
to put on an appearance of being "tilled up" and Elks cvcrywn^M
browsed on good fellowship and hearty welcomes.
Ten thousand registered at' Elks' headquarters and 600 at the
office of Grand Secretary Fred C. Robinson yesterday.
These figures, while approximations, are probably less than the
actual figures, .is the officials arc careful to give out only conservative
estimates of the number of visitors.
As soon as the Elks had removed the travel dust they began to
trade badges and by noon yesterday many delegates had their <"««$£
and vests brightened up with badges of other lodges. It is a nil
courtesy that every badge received must be worn, and because of fty^"
fact delegates with more display space had the laugh on their thinncn
brothers.
DECORATIONS IN PLACE ;
The decorations were practically all in place yesterday, and a
great many Angelenos came down town last night to inspect them.
Purple lights were in evidence everywhere, offsetting the ordinary
white globes and bulbs, and in numerous instances they are worked
into unique and attractive designs.
<.i'< The novelty of the decoration scheme, the absence of the cus
tomary heavy arches and the liberal use of the characteristic emblems
attract considerable comment from the visitors. Curiously, a fea
ture to which the Angelcno pays almost no attention— the date palm
fronds clustered on the electric light —proves specially at
tractive to the easterners**,
James N. Gillett, governor of California and member of Eureka
lodge, arrived last night, being met at the depot by the drill team
and a band. The governor was escorted immediately to Elk head
quarters, where he was taken in charge by John G. Mott. who will
see that California's chief executive enjoys his stay among his broth
er Elks. At the public ceremonies to be held tonight in the audi
torium at Fifth and Olive streets. Governor Gillett will make an ad
dress in behalf of the state of California.
At night, now, Broadway, Spring street and Main street are
long rows of vari-colored illumination, making, with the crowds, the
strollers think of some great exposition paradeway. Back and forth
across the streets run the long lines of lanterned lights, and above
them the myriads of flags, streamers and pennants, giving a+most
the appearance of a roofed street. Qn either side are the individual
decorations of the business buildings, during the day a flutter of
bunting and other forms of welcome and at night a blaze of colored
lights.
STREETS ARE WONDERLAND
Standing at the mouth of the: Broadway tunnel and looking
south the street seems to stretch for miles as an electrical welcome to
the Elks. The effect is heightened by the decorations at Hamburg
er's, which are plainly visible from the head of North Broadway.
The designs at Bullock's, the Broadway department store, the Bos
ton store and other large houses added to the effect when seen from
a distance, but can only be appreciated by a walk past them. The
city lights are colored purple, 'and everywhere fWFI? Is' cold STf c' ™
evidence as an earnest of the royal welcome L<: i At jeles is ans ot s
to give the "best people."
At Spring and Third streets a great electri al f|i^"ti^i ;pe de 1
in token of the patriotic phase of the Elks' f: iteryrtjfc^ui e\ :V;j -
where on the street, across the buildings and ins de t c Unite IS it< ;
flag is displayed.
After securing their locations and getting a 1 ie on 1 >cat oi ;
most of the Elks made for the grand lodge head [tiar ers at t c / lej -
andria, which became a. sort of rallying place fW"'(Wfegates"rWrrf aTT
states. The hotel frequently,was so filled, with visitors that it was
difficult to get to the desk or elevators.
■ : Today will be a day of greetings and foregathering. It is on the
program as "Pasadena day, and Exalted Ruler Walter C. Austin of
Pasadena lodge No. 672 has issued the following welcome on behalf
of the members of the Pasadena lodge and that city generally:
"We would like to extend a welcome to every Elk on earth next
week, but I suppose we must be satisfied to entertain the antlered
thousands who are now descending on Los Angeles.
~ /"Pasadena has thrown wide her gates! We want all you"visit
ing Elks and ladies to come over, see the most beautiful city in the
world and sample the hospitality of her people. No. 672 is awaiting
you with a warm welcome. ' ;
. "Not only do we want to see you all next Monday, Pasadena
day, but we want you to feel free to drop in any time. Give us a
chance and we will do the rest!"
MORE THAN 20,000 REGISTER
. At the registration office it was estimated that between 20,000
and 25,000 Elks, with their wives and sisters, had been registered up
to 1 o'clock last night. About 10,000 were handled yesterday alone;
This includes the women who are accompanying the members of
the antlered herd. Already the registration committee- has given
out 9000 women's badges and they fear that the supply will be ex
hausted. They did not count on so many of the fair sex being pres
ent, but Elks' conventions have become so popular that in the future
it will be necessary to take the women into consideration when ar
rangements are being made to entertain visitors. - _.;

H^'e Through Freight

THaa^JSfjart of the country's traffic. A
reasonable share of such through
freight is essential to the success of
the water system. Inland waterways
cannot prosper generally on merely lo

which surged about his chair, "that It

that so many have come, and am sure
that you will never regret your trip to
Los Angeles, for you are In the midst
of the most hospitable people in the
world. Although you have arrived on
the ground a little late from a cam

you have instilled into all those with
whom you have come in contact is no
ticeable. I want to say to all that any
reports which have been circulated to
the effect that 1 may withdraw are

Has Huge Following
Many of the prominent eastern Elks
have come out with strong decorations
for him, and telegrams are being hourly
received telling of the support of some
distant lodge.
Candidate when questioned
as to his chance in the election of
Tuesday, July 13, replied: "1 find that
the sentiment In Los Angeles and else
where is going my way. I cannot say
how many votes will be cast by the
grand lodge members, but I feel as
sured that I will receive a safe ma
jority. It is possible that not more
than 1200 votes will be polled; on the

in being prevented by ungovernable
circumstances from attending the Los
Angeles meeting and contributing my
humble efforts towards your election
to the office of grand exalted ruler.
Your services have been unselfish, un
tiring and of conspicuous value to the
order."
Wire from Pickett
Another from Congressman Piekett
contained the following: 'Owing to
the tariff bill in congress it will be im
possible for me to go to Los Angeles,
for I feel deeply interested in your
success not only as a friend-; but more
particularly for the good of the order.
I hope that the Justice of your cause
will appeal to the justice of the mem
bers, and If so you will be elected."
Both messages were directed to Can
didate Sammis personally. These are
but examples of the hundreds being
received daily. It was at first believed
by Sammls that the Los Angeles mem
bers of the grand lodge would vote
solid for Herrmann. Since Sammis' ar
rival, however, so many of them have
come to his headquarters and assured
him of their support that it is no.v be
lieved by all who are in touch with
affairs pertaining to the coming elec
tion that the Sammls vote will at least
receive as much local support as the
vote cast for Herrmann. Sam Needs
of Cleveland, 0., has published a large
placard bearing the words, "Sam
Needs for Samm—ls." Although at
first many local Elks believed that
Herrmann would gain an easy victory,
many are now of the opinion that if he
is elected it will be by a very scant
majority.

"From the beginning of the campaign
until this morning there has never been
any doubt an to my surresM. I am not
overestimating matter* when I say that
90 per cent of those who were undecided
have since declared fur me without soli
citation on my part. A very careful and

M/^ARRV' HERRMANN, baseball
I"T magnate, member or every be
" nevolent society in or near Cin
cinnati, philanthropist and politician,
jolly, genial, all-around good fellow,
beamed on his friends yesterday as he
sat in his headquarters at the Hotel
Alexandria, and in an easy, abandoned
way told anecdotes of his earlier rec
ollection of the Ohio valley city.
Hermann is typical of the political
school in which he rose to eminence.
He is genial, suave, calculative, a ready
mixer, a man of good Judgment, a stu
dent of human nature, and so hos
pitable that it is with regret that one
Fea,vaa his presence. This is the Im
pression one gets from even meeting
him in a hotel corridor. He is fond of
anecdote, always tries to get a laugh
out of the crowd into which he hap
pens to be thrown, and tf necessary
will put the laugh on himself.
In the Herrmann headquarters on tha
same floor all is bustle. Charles P.
Doran stood in the entrance and with
"Hello Bills" welcomed all to the
stamping grounds of Cincinnati lodgt»
No. 5. In the large reception room
"Garry" Herrmann, called by his sup
porters the "Prince of Good Fellows,"
dispensed campaign buttons with one
hand anil cigars with the other. Many
notable Klks from every section of the
United .States also were found there,
Including Norman Vaughan, Ca.pt.
Jack Poland, J. T. Fanning and Ro
bi it W. Brown, known as the "best
loved Elk in the world."
Brown, who is a past exalted ruler,
pained his title at the time of tile San
Francisco earthquake. He was In
Louisville when the news reached him.
Telephoning home that he must go to
San Francisco, Brown, at that time
grand exalted ruler, took all his avail
able cash. $1700. and in three days was
at the scene of the disaster.
"The first funds I received from the
outside,! 1 said Brown, "were brought
by Dr. Ralph Hagan of Los Angeles,
and amounted to about 15000. Alto
gether I spent about $IBo,oon In reliev
ing conditions in the stricken city."
As the election approaches great con
fidence is expressed by the adherents
of August Herrmann. Charlps Doran,
who has been conducting Herrmanns
campaign in California, and who is in
charge of his headquarters at the Alex
andria, confidently predicts that no less
than 1200 of the 1400 votes which will
be cast, probably will be polled for
Herrmann. It is also declared by Herr
mann's supporters that there is not a
grand lodge member in Los Angeles
who will not vote for Herrmann. Ac
cording to Doran the coming election
is a. sure thing for Herrmann.
Herrmann, w hoe trip appears to have
affected his genial manner and gooil
fellowship not in the least, said yes
terday, when questioned as to his pros
pects in the coming election, "From
the beginning of the campaign to thta
morning there has never been any
doubt as to my success. AH day long
grand lodge members have visited us.
Many of these were my supporters be
fore they left home. Others were un
decided. I am not overstating mat
ters when I say the no per cent of those
who were undecided have since de
clared for me. without solicitation on
my part.
"A very careful and conservative es
timate made by a number of my friends
last night showed that I would win by
a large majority. The events of to
day, following that, leave absolutely
no doubt in my judgment that I will
be elected by an even larger majority
than appean '1 late last night. I do>
not believe that T am overly sangulna
in anything I have just said to you.
I have the profoundest faith, not only
in ElkS, hut in human nature. In thte
instance I do not see how It has been
misplaced in either case."
