They may properly be termed the “historians” of this notable JO“THT};‘ere are nearly 150 newspaper correspondents in Washington City, representing all the important dailies of this country, as well as some of the foreign newspapers. The President is extremely popular with the Washing- ton press men and would have been glad if he could have extended an invitation to more of them, but the capacity of the train was, of course, limited to a very few, so it was decided to bring only the representatives of the three routine press assoclations furnishing news to all the dailies of the country, and the representatives of the three Washington papers. Howard N. Thompson of the Associated Press has for several years reported the proceedings of the House of Repre- sentatives for that association and he is well known to every member of Congress. He is a graceful writer and some of his biographical and obituary notices have attracted attention for their literary style. For several years he was Washing- ton correspondent for the Cleveland Plain Dealer. £ Henry Litchfield West of the Washington Post is one of the best known and most accomplished newspaper men at the national capital and one of the best informed. He is not only a most conscientious and energetic newsgatherer, but is considered one of the most accurate and at the same time entertaining newspaper writers in Washington. He has been president of the Gridiron Club, whose famous dinners are frequently attended by the President, Cabinet, Ministers, Justices of the Supreme Court, Senators and the most talented and famous public men of the country. Mr. West is uni- y mong his associates of the press. versa\“;”al‘:‘e’s“}'};m&ark.gone of the younger nren. but one of the brightest, has not been so long in Washington, but is al- ready well known among public men.

AN FRANCISCO ecitizens are nothing if not artistic, a fact that is evidenced by the beauti- fully decorated stores, resi- dences, office buildings and ho- tels, that have been decked out in holiday attire in honor of the Presi- dent’s visit. From the ferry out beyond Twin Peaks one can see nothing but prettily decorated entrances and windows: national colors surrounding likenesses of the President greet the eye on all sides.
