ton follows:
STATE OF CONNECTICUT.
by His Excellency,
MARCUS H. HOLCOMB,
Governor.
A Proclamation.
In accordance with the provisions of
the statutes, I hereby designate Mon
day, June 14th, as
FLAG DAY.
Not for what it is, but because it
symbolizes all that this country has
been, is, and hopes to be, the flag de-
mands of US homage and reverence.
Across the seas, men, women, even
children, are offering for their coun-
tries a bitter sacrifice of suffering. Yet
no nation has beyond it nobler heri-
tage of devotion in time of war and of
high endeavor in time 70 peace than
has ours, none has the right to stand
more proudly among its fellows. none
holds a fairer promise for the future,
for its own and other peoples. In a
peculiar degree at this time all citi-
zens ought to bear these things in
mind. l therefore ask that this Flag
udy DC observed by all SCHOOLS Dy
proper exercises, in theatres and else
where where people congregate by the
playing of the national anthem and
otherwise and by a general display of
the flag upon public and private build
ings.
Given under my hand and the seal
of the state at the capitol in Hartford
this 18th day of May, in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and fifteen and of the independence of
the United States the one hundred and
thirty ninth.
MARCUS H. HOLCOMB,
By His Excellency's command:
