pense will be spared to make the Fair a
perfect success.
We, as natives or former residents of
New Jersey, are extremely anxious ito
have New jersey represented in a manner
altogether worthy of the State We
know that if adequate provision is made
for proper display of the resources and
history of New Jersey, great credit will
be reflected upon the State. New Jersey
is rich in her historical associations. The
part which she played in the liberation
and development of our country is sur
passed by that of no other state 1t is
fitting and proper that a commonwealth
which glories in the battlefelds of Mon
mouth and Trenton should do her share
in the celebration of an event so signifi-
cant in the history of the United States
as the Louisiana Purchase. This Expo
stion is to celebrate the first great ,expan
sion of the nation, step which made
possible that commercial and political de-
velopment which has given us our present
commanding position in the worlds
affairs.
We may add that we believe New Jersey
has an additional bond of sympathy with
the state and city of our adoption, for it
was in the city of st. Louis on the
eighteenth day of June, 1895, that your
distinguished citizen, Judge J. Franklin
Fort, eloquently placed in nomination the
Honorable Garrett A. Hobart who was
then and there nominated and subsequent
ly elected Vice President of the United
States.
1t is only fitting that we remind you
that the late President Mckinley gave his
cordial support to the Louisiana Purchase
| Exposition, and President Roosevelt in
his recent message to Congress makes this
recommendation:
II bespeak the most cordial support
from the Congress and the people for the
! st. Louis Exposition to commemorate the
one hundredth anniversary of the louisa
ma Purchase. 1t is eminently fitting that all
our people should join with heartiest good
will in commemorative 1t, and the citizens
| of st. Louis, of Missouri, and of all the
adjacent region are entitled to every aid in
making the celebration noteworthy
event in our annals"
We are sure that every Jerseyman
would keenly regret failure of the State
to take position at this great Exposition
| which would not bear favorable compari-
son with that of any other state in the
! Union.
We desire to bring this matter to your
/
which will meet at Trenton this winter,
could make no better investment than by
| appropriating liberal sum for a proper
display for New Jersey at the Louisiana
! Purchase Exposition in 1908.
| We trust you will lend your support in
this matter. Kindly give the subject your
| attention.
We shall be glad to furnish you full in
| formation upon request, and to do what
we can to make New Jerseys exhibit a
| thorough success.
| Very truly yours,
