When the fleet neared San Francisco Bay the electric sign on Telegraph Hill flashed welcome. The giant letters 50 by 38 feet used 18000 feet of wire and over 20000 bulbs, illuminated to be seen 30 miles at sea, with 48000 feet of lumber in construction.
The passage compares two political conventions that named candidates and concluded the campaign issues. One convention relied on federal patronage, while the other used a different method, both led by a single influential figure.
The passage contrasts two political camps: one loyal to a crusaderlike leader with immense backing, the other led by a man who had given much contrasted with another who had little to give. One group is mechanical while the other is spontaneous.

It recalls Chicago's enthusiasm for Taft and LaFollette, notes Gore's spark, and describes Bryan supporters roaring for nomination, with long, spirited demonstrations and a final high-spirited filing after Ignatius Dunn’s Omaha speech.
Indianapolis prepares a mixed party welcome for John W. Kern as he returns home, with Charles W. Fairbanks to deliver the address.
