Probably for the first time many resident- of the eastern metropolis saw the historic bearflag of the California republic, depicting the grizzly en route across a field of green and white. Another banner showed the state seal, portraying the grizzly in a more temperate mood, seated at the feet of the queen of the Pacific. Several of the pennants bore figures to show the strength of the suffrage movement in California and these were applauded heartily by the eastern states. -San Francisco Call, 15 May 1912 (
