Why the Conference
The object of yesterdays con-
ference was to put on the official
records the achievements of Della
ware in the Third Liberty Loan.
Chairman Rossell of New Castle
county, to whom was tacitly as
signed the spokemanship because
of his county's having the one big
city of the State within its con-
fines, arranged the conference in
conjunction with Governor Town
send, that there might be a group
of leaders in the loan campaign,
who, as it were, stand for the
State. In the other two loans
Delaware did great things, but
there remains no official record,
neither in word or picture, and so
it was agreed that for the third
loan, there should be conference
of officials, and there should be a
picture of that conference taken,
and a resolution drawn up, with
the great seal of the State affixed,
and that all these should be sent to
Washington for the record of the
War Department, and that copies
of the resolution and the news
paper accounts of the events shall
be sent to President Wilson and
the Secretary Of the Treasury and
the Secretary of War.
