richly •; decorated with , garlands as ' a

• -?A, large number of members of the

gates went over ,to the ; Oakland pier
to" [ meet ■ Hale and McNab and to,
decorate them with wreaths of violets '
and "jonquils, and sto "present .'*. Mrs?
Hale and . Mrs. McNab with: gorgeous,
bouquets a of "American 7 beauty; roses. J

Garlands, Band and Cheers
Acting ' President James Rolph Jr.
beaded the . delegation that crossed
the bay and decked' his fellow acting
president with blossoms.'.'
Arriving at San Francisco at 5:28,
the band, stationed at the foot -of-
Market street, brayed out its cheerful
tunes and the large Sunday crowd al"
the ferry gave several rousing cheers
Then? - the 7 Washington conqueror*
climbed ,: Into decorated automobiles ,
still bashfully wearing their . necklaces
of violets -'and* jonquils,- and; rode uf '■
Market street and toward their homes- '"
like , fragments of a floral festival.
Hale lost some of; his posies, for some
women waylaid him in the nave of ' th«
ferry building as he - was coming oil
the boat and plucked violets from th«
floral' chain.
Report on Conquest Y.
-, In behalf of himself and McNab and
the Washington delegation acting Pres
ident Hale made the following * state
ment -of i the * conquest at '* the 'national
capital: which secured * for San Fran-
Cisco federal indorsement of San Fran
cisco's . Panama-Pacific exposition: -
;.. The statement made so-often that -',
everybody won the ; fight in' Was
hington is literally true, because the
* contest - was .so close that no one
' influence, could have been with
t drawn , without seriously Jeopardiz
ing the final result. .
'.; Nothing less than united effort on
the part of everybody, at home, In
7 Washington and among our east- '
crn . friends, could have '.. overcome
a the handicap which lay against San
Francisco's chances on December 1
and' have recorded >. the . victory on
January 31 following. * '
.-.We had the right to expect loyal
support from our own; people, and
It Is therefore fitting that we should
emphasize the timely and generous
" assistance - rendered by "■ California's
eastern friends,; without whose 'aid
the* successful outcome of our con
i. test would have been impossible.
Tribute Paid to Taft
Our first tribute * should be * palii
to President Taft, ) for, though ** his
position as president of all 'the
states in; the union prevented . him
from making a ; public announce
ment of -his -desires,, still he".■ did
favor* San Francisco as the best
place ; for holding. the International
celebration of the opening of the
Panama canal."* ,
To "i Vice .President 1, Sherman- we
owe our debt of ; gratitude?, which
can not be repaid easily.- Without
the ": Hon. John Dwight, * republican
whip of the house, we might just as
well * have : given ;up the contest in
December. By his wise counsel and
nally by his .personal activity
many., votes were -landed in the
proper, column* on, the day-the vote
was taken. Congressman«J.'-; gloat
Fassett " was another stalwart*; for
San -Francisco? for. he remained '.'■' in
Washington to look, out for our, In
terests i during * a severe , attack of
cold, when he otherwise would hay*'
