The Ban Francisco Chamber of Com- merce sent a letter to the headquarters of the Pacific Coast Jobbers' and Manufac- turers’ Association yesterday, signed by Secretary 8Scott, which was as follows; I take great pleasure in Informing you that yesterday telegraphed to the President in ows: “We take great pleasure in Jolning with other commercial bodies of the Pacific Coast ully requesting you to appoint Wil- e B e S o S o o e o o e o + preferment nor to satisty a political ambi- tion, but who will accept it for the good he | can do for the cost: | CHARLES HOLBROOK—Mr. Wheeler ts | my choice for the reason that he 1a famillar with the transportation question and those | underiying principles that control transpo | tation and all questions that would natu | elly come before a commission.

This was the first indorsement | ever give position & forth the realization that the coast needs a'business man as Interstate Commerce Commissioner. The ~same exceptional —occurrence marked the action of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. A dispatch was received from A. B. Cass bringing the news that the chamber had indorsed Mr. Wheeler. “Allow me to say,” telegraphed Mr. Cass, “that Mr. Wheeler has the honor of being the first man ever indorsed by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce for_any public position.” News was recelved also that Senator Carter of Montana has indorsed the busi- | ness men's candidate for Commissioner. The sentiment of the Oregon business men was Indicated in an article i{n the | Portland Oregonian of last Wednesday, of which the following Is an extract: Important as the traffic is it {s perhaps not more €0 than the action taken with ref- erence to securing a Pacific Coast man on the Interstate Commerce Commission as the sue- cessor of W.

L S TSR PE ST R R PP Coast to-day better equipped, by reason not nly of a knowledge of the detalls of traffic enerally, but also by a thorough understand- ug of “its underlying principles, than Mr. heeler. Since the beginning of this move- ent on the part of the jobbing centers of the Middle West' to invade the territory of the Pacific Coast Mr. Wheeler has been closely dentified with the action taken by the coast to protect Its interests. As chairman of the trafflc committee of the Pacific Coast Hard- ware and Metal Association he has had charge f the interests of that important line of trade at the meeting of the Transcontinental Traffic Bureau at Monterey, Cal., in February, 1898; iwaln at Milwaukee in the ‘same year, and still uter at 8t. Paul in May of the present year, where the Pacific Coast jobbers appea fors the traffic managers of the Northern Pa- cific and the Great Northern raflroads, at which me the ergument covering the contentlon of e coast jobbers presented by Mr. Wheeler s one which calted forth the warmest praise, | t only from the business community, but | rom the traffic managers of many of the transcontinental rafiroads. The delegates from Washington, Oregen and Southern Callfornia were unanimous in_their support of Mr. Wheeler, who was no more the choice of San Francisco than of the other sec- tions of the coast. It is absolutely necessary 1o the [nterests of the coast that a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission be from the Pacific Slope. At present the Commission consists of one man from New York, one from Vermont, one from Georgla, one {rom Iowa, With & vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Cathoun of Tlinois. The member from New York, without any special effort on his part. would naturally represent the interests of the New England and Middle States. T) same 18 true of the representatives of other sections, while the Pacific Coast, which in a large measure {s an unknown country as far as its Interests are concerned, to the Easterm | people, 18 without a representutive. The people of the coast do not want a politiclan; they want a business man who has not only a | knowledge of the details and principles of tratfic, but is also familiar with the necessi- ties of the coast. Their cholce has fallen upon | such a man, and the unanimous indorsement | of so representative a body of men as the executive committee of the Pacific Coast Job- bers’ and Manufacturers' Association s cer- tainly entitled to consideration. These are some of the indications of the earnest work of the commercial organi- zatlons and of individual business men in the matter of having a representative on the Interstate Commerce Commission who is by training, experience and abllity ualifled for the position. At no time in the history of the Pacific Coast has there been such unity. The business men of ‘Washington and Oregon are ready to do all they can for the California gentleman who has been nominated for the Commis- slonersh!r and all State jealousies are set completely aside. The interest will now center largely upon the actions of California Congressional delegation. Following are interviews obt among local business men yesterday: — UNITED FOR WHEELER.

At a meeting of the directors of the Merchants' Association yesterday the fol- lowing telegram was ordered sent to President McKinley The Merchants' Assoctation, over one thousand members, cont recommen ns of other commercial or- ganizations on the Pacifie Coast In indors | ing William R.
