Description:Excerpt from Proceedings of the Annual Convention, 1915: Held at San Francisco, California October 12-15, 1915 We have done ourselves the honor to invite all the members of the National Association and their wives, if they have brought them along, to a big dinner party which we are going to have at the Palace Hotel tomorrow evening at seven o'clock. The affair will be entirely informal. Of course we would not think of throwing out a member of the National Association, because you are our guests, but if anybody else shows up in a dress suit, out he goes. It is entirely informal. Over seven hundred men and women of California desire to join us in our welcome to you on that occasion, and have signified their acceptance, and will be there to help us greet you. Our people in California are very much interested in public utility problems, as well as all other matters that affect our government, and they are particularly glad to join us on that evening and say to you that we are glad to have you with us. It occurred to us that it might be appropriate to have on that evening a discussion of the general question of the public and public utilities from different points of view. So we have invited a number of distinguished speakers who will be with us on that occasion, and who will talk to us from their respective angles on different branches of general questions of the public and public utilities. The distinguished President of this Association, Clifford Thorne, has consented to speak to us in behalf of the members of the Association, and he will present a paper on the general question of public utility regulation. Theodore Vail, President of the American Telephone Telegraph Company, is coming all the way out from Vermont to speak to us from his point of view. Samuel Insull, President of the Commonwealth Edison Company, of Chicago, has very kindly consented to come to us from Chicago to speak to us that evening. He will go back the next day. Warren Stone, President of the International Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, will be there to speak for Labor. Interstate Commerce Commissioner Clements has come out here and we are very glad to have him with us and will speak on the very important question of railway capitalization. Paul Shoup, President of one of our large railroads in California, will speak from the railroad point of view. The last speaker on the program, who will have the closing up, as it were, will be Lieutenant Governor Eshleman, a former President of our Commission, whom, I am very sure, you will be very glad to hear. So please reserve tomorrow evening and come, all of you, and we will be glad to have you with us at our little family party. Later on this morning, President Thorne tells me that he will allow us five minutes to distribute cards to be signed by those members of the Association who can come, and we shall appreciate your signing your names on the cards and specifying how many ladies there are in your party, because we want the ladies as well as the men. We have not made any arrangement for evening entertainment apart from this one function, for this reason: We thought that there might be committee meetings.
