Isaac Uphamfof the firm of Payot, Up- ham & Co. was most enthusiastic over the idea of holding the next Republican National Convention in this city. He be- lieves that San Francisco would be fully capable of caring for all the people who | the city during the conven- | tion. He said: It certainly would be of advantage to this city and to the State at large to have the rep- resentative men of the nation visit San Fran- co. During the sessior the convention and for many months previous to It the eyes | of the whole country and of Europe, too, would be turned on this city. This city's resources and its possibilities for development would be thoroughly advertised. The men who would attend the convention will be of the most in- | telligent class. * To my mind San Francisco | would be a very sultable place for holding the | next Republican national convention. It wiil | be away from the jnfluences which might con- | trol the delegates in the East. It will enable | them to be more independent and they would | be less ltable to be disturbed in their delibera- The co; t for Mayor it f of the city. tions. 1If there is any possibility of obtaining this convention for this city 1 think that its itizens, regardless should do ther e no doubt that in the matter in the near utmost to bring it | metion will be taki | tuture. | ,A BANKER'S VIEWS. Regarding this city’s ability to accom- modate the delegates who would attend the visitors who would accompany them, William Alvord, president of the California Bank, sald: 1 do not think that there is the least doubt v would be able to take care of all the delegates and visitors who Vould come here with the convention. By the time the convention is ready to convene the St. Francis Hotel and at léast twelve other ho- teis amd apartment houses now under con- struction will be completed. These hotels and siartment houses, with those ialready in op- eration, would furnish ample accommodation for all the national convention would bring to 1f necessary, but 1 do not anticipate the other towns about the bay. The benefit {hat the Republican national convention would be to San Francisco is simply inestimable. It will result in the resources of this city and State being advertised throughout the whole country. LEGISLATIVE ADVANTAGES.

Governor Pardee when asked this after- | noon for his opinfon said that he did not know anything concerning the matter ex- cept what he had read in to-day's issue | | Lof The Call. On general principles, he | -i\mm that he thought the convention ould be a very desirable thing for San | Franeisco. “I should be very much | pieased,” he added, “if San Francisco | should be chosen as the place for hoiding the National Republican Convention.” In reply to the possible doubt that San FErancizco would be able to accommo- | date the jarge crowd of convention dele- | gates and other visitors the Governor sald thut the splendid suburban cities of | Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda could take good care of all the overflow should there be any. Speaker Fisk said that in a political as well as an industrial sense the holding of the convention in San Francisco would be | ot lasting benefit to the State. He was | | favor of the proposition and would | | sladly do all in his power to further it. | |1t would, he said, be one of the best ad-| | | vertisements that California could .ever | have—an obfect lesson that would have | | great influence with the Eustern visitors. Adjutant General Stone in talking about | | | the matter this evening expressed his sat- istaction that San Francisco had been | | mentioned as the place for holding th convention. Even if the effort should fafl, | the fact that the proposition had been s riously enteriained, he said, would have a beneficlal effect in advertising the re- scurces of California’s metropolls. C. H. McKenney, Assemblyman from Tore, sald he hoped that the project | would be successful. “The convention if held in San Franclsco,” he sald, “will | bring to this State fthe leading Republi- | cans of the United' States, and the Im- | pression they will make upon the people ture won't do. causes the cough.

Regarding the great benefit the holding convention here would mean to nia, Auditor Baehr said: bilty of securing the national Re- ton for San Francisco should sr every citizen of the State to action. Why should California_recelve recognition from one of great political parties, especially lican party? This section of is fast taking its place in the fore- nks of the great commerclal and indus- ections of the nation o world are Serected to this great Western and we have more to show than any other city or State in the Unlon. California has done much for the Republican party, but In the distribution of favors in rec- ognition of party loyalty she has not fared so well. It is certainly gratifying that San Fran- cisco 1s at least being considered among the ties that will bid for the convention. The n a wilderness mer shown the they Albias C; he The po country ) represent the great things of the country cannot be overestimated. It's worth reaching | after, and there is no reason why the State should not succeed if everybody will go to work. HOTEL MEN’S VIEWS. The managers of the leading hotels of | the city are enthusiastic over the propo- | sition, being of the same view that San Prancisco should overlook nothing.in the way of conventions, all of which, they | claim, help to advertise the State, John C. Kirkpatrick, manager of the Palace Hotel, said: When one realizes that nearly every town in the country recelves daily news from the na- tional conventions, It is easy to imagine the prominence that would be glven to this oity should the Republican convention be held here. San Francisco !s receiving a great boom throughout the East and we are In a position to foster it. ‘We have ample accommodations for delegates to a convention in the way of halls and hotels and I have been informed that our telegraph facilities are now sufficlent to meet all requirements for such an occasion. The citizens should unite in an effort to get the convention in 1904. General Warfleld of the California Hotel sald: 1t we can accommodate large bodies such as the Christian Endeavorers and Grand Army, certainly we can properly take care of tha members of a convention. It won't take much effort to induce the National Committee to de- cide in favor of San Francisco, for the Eastern delegates would like to make the overland trip, especlally at that time of the year when they are assured delighttul weather in California, Frank Jaynes, superintendent of the ‘Western Union Telegravh Company, is among those who will lend thelr influence to bring the convention here. As to the ability of the telegraph companies to han- dle the convention he sald there was no question. METCALF IS ENTHUSIASTIC. Says Committees Should Be Or- ganized to Fight for Convention. OAKLAND, March 13.—Congressman Victor H. Metcalf belleves that it would be a magnificent thing if the National Republican Convention were held in San Francisco. Addressing himself to the sub- ject just after his arrival from Wash- ington to-night, Mr. Metcalf said: Of course, nothing couid honor California greater than the Republican National Conven- tion. end of the country to the other. It would bring all the country's leading men here. It would mean the spending of a good deal of money. It would give Eastern people a better idea of what we have here than all the books and pamphlets that could be printed. Getting the conventlon assigned to San Fran- cisco means an immense amount.of good, swift work. Whatever is done should be done right away. It won't do to put it off until the last minute. Committees of leading men ought ic be organized at once. the | The eves of the | Ivantages of such an assemblage of the men | 1t would advertise the State from one | These should imme- longer a household affliction with us, By Alexahder Pope. | diately put San Franciseo in the position of being able 1o offer some inducement why the convention should come to it. Railway rates, hotel and restaurant accommodations, contri- buticns of money for entertainment—all these things should be looked to without a moment's delay. | WORK OF COMMITTEE. Then, after getting the data together, a committee should be sent to the executive com- | mittee of the National Committee or the com- ttee itself, whichever it is that selects the place, to present it in a Wway that will show that ‘we are In earnest. Under these condi- tions and no other will San Francisco get the conventon. Mr. Metcalf was tired after the ex- hausting trials of the last days of Con- gress and the long trip across the coun- try. He left Washington on March 5 with Mrs. Metcalf and Miss Gould of Oakland and stopped over a few days to see the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. He was generally pleased with the way Congress accomplished its work. Con- tinuing he said: The country is very rich. Congress this time appropriated more than $1,500,000,000 for im- provements. This beats the record, but the | appropriations for the isthmian canal are responsible, for a good deal of it. The appro- priation bils would not have gone through Descriplion of the Beautiful Arl Supp'ement to Be Issucd as a Bart of Next Sunday’s Call “Retrieving,” by Alexander Pope, is a spirited plece of animal painting and it possesses the great merit of not too much realism. It a picture in which some things afe subordinated to give greater strength to others. The principal subject s strongly drawn and expression s attained by the accentSation without exaggeration of certain features. The pose of the dog is alert and animated, suggestive of action and indelligence. His “points” as a high-bred canine are well shown, but without exaggeration or at the expense of artistic effect. It is a work which is naturalistic rather than realistic. This observation is called out by the fact that In much of his painting Mr. Pope's tendencles have been distinctly in the direction of realistic imitation in detail, a false real- Ism which appeals to all who admire imitative skill' rather than art. It is always more interesting to learn what an artist thinks and fae!s than to see an imitation of what he has seen, no matter how perfect such ah imitation may be. An fmitation of something In nature can never equal the perfection of the original nor even the colorless exactness of 2 photograph. If, on the other hand, there is a personal expression of what the artist feels for his subject and if he leaves something to the imagination of the beholder, he then produces a work of art. It the picture the artist shows his admiration for a fine example of the canine race, recalls the sportsman’s love for the woods, his delight for success in bringing down so fine a bird as the cock pheasant shown in the picture, and his satisfaction in the work of a well trained deg. . Alexander Pope was born in Boston in 1843. For several years after completing his education he was engaged In business pursuits and it was not until he was past 3 years of age that he decided to devote his whole attention to art.

Befors he became a painter he devoted ey e ot nes carried o™it |l much of his lefsure time to making wood carvings of game birds, which he colored in Imitation of nature. Examples of his work in this line found their way into mportant collections, among others that of the Czar of Russia. Mr. Pope has studied without masters or other guide than his own observations of nature. His studio is in Bos- ton, and, with the exception of an exhibit at the Murray Hill Hotel in New York and the Sportsmen’s Show in Chi- cagn last vear. he has never exhibite? antside of his native citv. threats.

It is not likely that the two treaties pending before the special session of the Senate will go through, except with amendments that wili practically kill them. The next House will | not entertain the Cuban treaty in the way pro- | posed by the Democrats, because it is a pre- rogative of the House that all measures af- fecting the finance shall originate in the House. This treaty, which affects finance, originated in the Senate, and If the Senate passes the Panama canal treaty with the amendments proposed by Senator Morgan it will be certain not to meet with the approval of Colombia. President Roosevelt Is determined these | treatics shall go_through and he will get them through, too. Whatever he undertakes he does with the idea of success in view. There is no stopping Alm. We will soon have him with us, for he gave me to understand that he would come to California in April or May. ADVERTISEMENTS. A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. Way Physicians Now Treat Catarrh. The Physicians who formerly depended upon inhalers, sprays and local washes or oint- ments, now use Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because, as one of the most prominent stated, these tablets contain in pleasant, convenient form all of the really ef- ficient and rellable catarrh remedies, suéh as red gum, blood root and hydras- tin. They contain no cocaine or oplate (so common in liquid catarrh medicines and cough syrups) and they are given to lit- tle children with entire safety and benefit. Dr. J. J. Reitinger says: I suffered from catarrh in my head and throat every | winter and it would hang on clear into | summer, with stoppage of the nose and | irritation in the throat, affecting my volce so that I was continually clearing my throat before 1 could speak plainly; it finally extended to the stomach, causing catarrh of the stomach. I bought a 50-cent box of Stuart’'s Ca- tarrh Tablets at my druggist's, carrled them in my pocket and used them regu- larly several times a day and the way in which they cleared my head and throat and Improved my hearing and general health I consider little short of remark- able. I had no catarrh last winter and spring and know I am entirely free from any catarrhal trouble whatever. Mrs. Jerome Ellison of Wheeling writes: I suffered from catarrh nearly my whole life and last winter my two children also suffered from catarrhal colds and sore throat so much they were out of school a large part of the winter. My byother, who was cured of ‘catarrhal deafness by using Stuart’s,Catarrh Tablets, urged me so much to fry them that I sent to the drug store and bought a package and 1 am truly thankful for what they have done for me and my children.
