He says there will be millions of people who cannot attend the cen- tennial and “It is only proper there- fore that some steps should be taken to make them feel that they have a part in the great national celebration. It seems to me that no better method could be adopted than to have the Stars and Stripes flying over every public building,” etc, “To you, the chief executive of your state, I appeal for co-operation and feel sure that the general use of the American flag during centennial week will not only aid the cause of patriot- ism, but present the world a striking picture of strength, purity and loyalty of which the ‘Heaven-born banner’ is the emblem.”, Governor Baldwin said that while he did not feel disposed to issue a proclamation calling for a general dis- play of the flag during the week in- dicated, he strongly advocated the position of Mayor Preston and will write him to that effect.
