MAYOR ASKS
FOR FLAG DAY
OBSERVANCE

Mayor Harrison w. Howell has is
sued a proclamation calling the at
tention of the people ofWilmington to
Flag Day, which falls on Friday. June.
IA, and requests that the national col
ors be prominently displayed on that
day. The proclamation follows:
1T hardly seems necessary to remind
the citizens of Wilmington that Fri
day. June IA, is Flag Day However,
as this day will celebrate the 135th
anniversary of the adoption of the
Stars and Stripes as the flag of our
country it is fitting and proper that
l should do so.
The annual observance of Flag
Day is receiving more attention each
year. as it properly should, and in
every state and city in the United
States. more elaborate preparations
are made to properly recognize and
honor our glorious flag.
National and civic pride. love and
appreciation Of this great. liberty Civ
ing country of ours. and honor and
respect for our flag, should instill into
our minds the desire to more fully
show appreciation of the benefits de-
rived therefrom, and do our duty indi-
vidually and collectively, by devoting
some portion of the day. June IA, to
the proper display of our conutry's
flag in public and private places. in
order that every citizen may be re-
minded Of its beauty and the protec-
tion which it extends to us where
ever It waves.
Therefore. l would respectfully re-
quest that the American flag be dis
played on all public and municipal
buildings, in the public parks, and
from all public and private schools
and from the home of every citizen
where possible The size of the flag
is not so important az the loyalty that
is to be shown. May our flag be dis
played on Friday June a. from the
rising of the sun to the setting OF
the sun.
1T is taken for granted that all
public schools and other institutions
for learning will have proper exer-
cises arranged to commemorate the
day and celebrate the anniversary OF
the birth OF the flag OF our country
and continue each day the teaching OF
love and patriotism for this, the best
country in the world"

drawer at the postofice this morning.
he was much surprised to find a kit

ply The United Press.
CHICAGO, June 6.-Willialn Jen-
|nings Bryan, in an interview copy
|righted by the Newspaper Enterprise
Association, today speculates upon
|the outcome of the Republican Ma
|tional Convention, and sums up the
situation in two questions. adding a
third course which he offers as a pos
|ibility. He ;.lks if President Taft will
have the courage to use the machinery
which he controls-and If the ma
|chinery will not hre1k. RE inquiries
~ Colonel Roosevelt in case ne does
mot have enough delegates, will take
what he has and hold another con-
|yention. nominating himself. He sees
Ia possibility in the Republican Ma
|tinal Committee seating enough of
THE contested delegates between the
President and the ex-President TO
deadlock the convention and give the
balance of power to LaFollette and
|Cummins
"The Chicago convention" declared
bryan, promises to be the most ex-
letting one ever held in the history Of
'the country, provided, Of course, there
lis no surrender before the battle.
Il
lighting for a second term and an ex-
president pitted against him for
third term. An ineXhaustible guam
'tity of red fire is supplied for the
celebration by the fact that the con-
testants. once bosom friends, are
bitter enemies.
AT present it looks like two con-
|ventions. if Mr. Tafts supporters
have the courage to do all that is
within their power. Whoever can
'answer these two questions correct
/ ly, can foretell the result at Chicago:
VIII President Taft dares use the ma
,chinery he controls-does he want
that kind Of a nomination? What
will Mr.. Roosevelt do if his contest
) ing delegates are denied seats?
If the combatants are left to them
.selves, it is safe to guess that Roose-
welt will be a candidate-either the
nominee of the regular convention or
the nominee of a bolting conven-
.tion"
Discussing a bolt Bryan continues:
Suppose Mr.. Roosevelt is nomi-
mated either by the regular conven-
( 7tion or by a convention of his own,
Twill the Republicans who oppose a
'third term bolt? Is their attachment
to the traditions of the fathers strong
enough to lead 10 an organized pro-
& test against Mr.. Roosevelt? .
\ Mr.. Roosevelt has studiously ignored
. the third-term issue When men have
! suggested that he wants to be Presi-
f dent for life-with remainder over
E to his sOn-he calls them hard names.
+ but this kind of evasion cannot last
through a campaign. He will have
. to define his position and let the pub
. lie know how many terms he consid-
: ers proper or allowable.
If Mr. Roosevelt will add the votes
( he has received at the primaries, and
compare the total with the total vote
: in those states, he will find that he
3 must remember, too, that some who
voted for him did so not because they
loved him more, but because they
loved Taft less.
There is abundant evidence of pro-
. test at the polls, even if no ticket is
put in the field by the anti-Roosevelt
Republicans"
