The National tribune., 1906-08-02

and the different cities of the country
seem to be holding off in their intention
of asking for the honor. Word comes
that the Texas city has decided to ask
the veterans to come South, and will
make a determined effort to secure the

the good people of Houston and vicinity
that there is in this country but one
Flag. and that Old Glory must head the
procession or 1t cannot march.
