GOVERNOR DAVIS ISSUES A
PROCLAMATION FIXING DAY
TO HONOR ROOSEVELT

" 1AO4NO1e lSOOoIIV
One of the mostmarked results O.
the recent world war is the deep ap
probation of American citizenship az
evidenced by all who claim that grea1
privilege.
This is feeling most worthy Of
encouragement. At an appropriate
occasion to further this pride of
country and induce the practice of
those noble principles of which we
love to feel the name of America is
but a synonym, it has been suggested
that time be set apart to be de-
voted to fitting recognition of the
great heritage of American citizen
ship.
An American who valued that citi-
zenship to the highest degree was
Theodore Roosevelt No title pleased
him more than that of Theodore
Roosevelt, American" His memory is
the comon heritage of all Americans.
In cooperation with the Roosevelt
Memorial Association, which plans to
conduct nationwide campaign to
honor Roosevelt the man, in order
that his manly qualities may be fused
into the life and spirit of American
youth, 1, D. w. Davis, Governor of
the state of Idaho, do hereby set Mon
day, October 9th as "Americaniza-
tion day" in the state of Idaho, and
ask the people of this state to give
fitting expression on that date to
their appreciation of citizenship, and
due honor to the memory of the man
whose birth is celebrated on that day,
Theodore Roosevelt, American.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto !
set my hand and caused to be affixed |
the great seal of the state of Idaho.
Done at Boise the capital, this 11th
day of October, 1919.
