the Association of the Texas Veter-
ans teach their children and their
children's children to do everything
in their power to preserve and per-
petuate the unity of Texas, and to
frown down any effort or movement
looking to its dismemberment,
and that the newspapers of Texas
be asked to help inculcate the idea
into the rising generation, that the
"Lone STAR" the largest and bright
est in the universal armament might
never be married by dividing lines or
glory diminished by curtailment of
its boundaries"
