The object of the conference. as 20,
now, was to discuss means and method!
whereby industry might be stimulated
and the country might rally as quickly

That the Importance of such a con
ference was everywhere recognized wal

was so largely attended. Nearly every
state and community of Importance sen
delegates. Our own state had man,
representatives in attendance and the,

OF the matters presented to the con
ference
While of course the conference wa,
designed solely for the purpose of a full
and free interchange of Views and tn
