Correspondence of the World Panama Exposition Company, reflecting the work of Governor J.Y.

The privilege of hosting the exposition was ultimately awarded to San Francisco, Calif. Booklet published by the Exposition Company contains the names of national associations and commercial, agricultural, political, and manufacturing organizations in the United States that endorsed New Orleans as the "logical point" for a World Panama Exposition. Related government documents among the papers include a bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and referred to the Industrial Arts and Expositions Committee, and subsequent House committee hearings that include a speech by Governor J.Y. Sanders.
