"James Woods is the best friend that Hawaii has in San Francisco," said Chester Doyle, in his talk before the members of the Ad Club yesterday at the Alexander Young hotel. "Mr. Woods is considered the biggest man in San Francisco today, and was recently given an honor by President Wilson, being appointed with Herbert C. Hoover on the food commission."
Members of the Ad Club elected Mr. Woods as an honorary member of the club.
"Mr Woods is so interested in Hawaii," said Mr. Doyle., "that he has decided to put a man here to look after his interests. The St. Francis hotel is crowded at all times, and instead of asking his guests to remain in San Francisco, Mr. Woods tells them to take a run down to Hawaii. Boosting of that kind means much for Hawaii, and Hawaii owes a debt of gratitude to the San Francisco booster.
"In San Francisco if they can't say a good word for a person, they don't say anything. There is a spirit of co-operation which is lacking here. They don't ask you when to go and come. Furthermore, they don't give a care. If we had a little more of that spirit here the city would be better off."
