State Commission Hard at Work
to Persuade Legislature to
Appropriate Fund.

Georgia will have one of the most
complete and "jam-up" State exhibits
at the great Panama Pacific Inter-
national Exposition at San Francisco
if members of the State Commission
and others interested get what they
want-$1OO, OOO-from the present
Legislature.
The first gun in the big campaign
was fired Thursday when Representa-
tive R. B. Blackburn, of Fulton Coun-
~, and other legislative boosters for
the Cracker State presented a resolu-
ton in the House providing for an
appropriation as authorized by the
1912 Legislature. The decision to
wage an active campaign for the

er for the exposition, who arrived in
Atlanta Tuesday, will fire the second
gun of the campaign Monday at noon
when he will address both the House
and Senate in joint session to urge
the adoption of the resolution.
State Building Urged.
I'VE hope said Colonel Jones,
that the Governor and his staff or
committee of distinguished citizens of
Georgia will visit San Francisco to Sc
lect site for the proposed State
building which this State should have,
by all means, to house its exhibits and
to care for the thousands of Geor-
gians who will visit San Francisco IN
1915.
1T is our plan also to have moving
pictures of Georgia's participation in
the exposition, showing every move
ment from the selection of the site
for the building to the great Georgia
Day, including the formal dedication
of the building.
These pictures will be sent all oven
the country and will constitute a liv-
ing record of an event of which
GeOrgians will ever be proud"

Commission named by Governor
Brown last year. was equally enthu-
siastic.

I'VE are going after that appropria-
ton with a VIM" said he, and we
believe we viii get it. Georgia mus
be represented--well reDresented-at
this the greatest exposition that ever
has been held.
THE commission proposes to have
a strong display of Georgia's agricul-
tural and mineral resources, as well
as an exhibit showing her manufac-
turing activities. The State is one
of the richest in the Union In natural
resources and deserves to have a
creditable exhibit at san Francisco"
