Wisconsin Has No Flag OF Its Own.
Wisconsin has no state flag This
is the conclusion reached by Assistant
Attorney General w. w. Gilman, and
It will be a surprise to many persons,
especially Civil war soldiers who en-
listed from Wisconsin.
ii. W. Rood, custodian OF the @ A..
r. memorial hall and patriotic instruc-
tor OF the state department of the G.
A. r., asked the attorney general IL
Wisconsin had state flag. The query
was turned over to Assistant Attorney
General Gilman, who found on investi-
cation that state flag was adopted
by act OF the legislature in 1868. but
that this act was repealed, probably
inadvertently, in 1878 when the stat
utes were revised.
The act OF 1863 adopting a state
flag provided that It should be a dark
blue silk, with the arms OF the state
OF Wisconsin painted or embroidered
in silk on the diverse side and the
arms OF the United States painted or
embroidered In silk on the reverse
side, the name of the regiment, where
used as a regimental flag, to be In
scroll beneath the stale arms.
II also provided that the flag should
be six feet and six inches fly and six
feet deep on the pike. the pike TO be
nine feet ten inches long; the fringe
yellow, and cord and tassels Of blue
and white silk mi1ed. II is probable
that the next legislature will be asked
to adopt the old flag or provide new
one.
