nation respecting the observance OF
Flag Day, June Il, 1916.

May 26. 1916.
Hon. Joseph p. Tumulty, Secretary to
the President, White House.
NV Dear Joe-Some time since
took ND with you the matter of asking
the president to request the people,
by public proclamation, to observe our
National Flag Day ON June "A. This
is not political or partisan matter
but il seems to me making acknoWi-
edgement to our patriotism on this
date dis we acknowledge our gratitude
to Almighty God on Thanksgiving
Day.
Ny activity, as YOU know, has been
stimulated by the fact that while ex-
alted ruler Of New FORK Lodge, No l.,
Benevolent Order of Elks. the mother
3odge Of Elkdom, institted public
rftualistic ceremony which since has
been adopted by the grand lodge and
is observed In every one Of the 400
lodges throughout the country and
participated in by more than 100000
American citizens, members OF the
order. have received hundreds Of
from other patriotic
organizations experimenting my en-
deavors, and believe 1t would be in
keeping with the policy OF American.
izing the hundred million people who
live under Old Glory if the president
would take favorable action upon this
request, and it certainly viii not be
setting q precedent that will be hard
to follow, because no other similar
appeal can be made to him founded
upon any less worthy and patriotic
cause. With kind personal regards,
! remain,
Sincerely yours,
MURRAY HUBERT.
