Southern Railroad urged by convention at St Lowis
The November 21 convention at St Lowis adopted cries in favor of the Southern Railroad. They argued it is necessary for sound statesmanship, defense, military use, economic benefit, competition between two lines, and profits from trade. They claimed 175 million public dollars would be spent, with only 19 million benefiting the South, and resolved the project should be built and secured by the property of the company.
