President Wilson approved a strong Americanism plank for the Democratic platform, attacking foreign born influence in politics and pledging loyalty to the flag.

He led a Flag Day parade from the Capitol to the White House, praising national solidarity and the nation’s unity despite sectional history.
President Wilson Reviews Pageant at Flag Day Exercises
The President watched the thousands for over three hours from the reviewing stand then departed for luncheon and a rest before his speech. Secretary McAdoo acted as relief as the marchers passed. The Internal Departments fielded white uniforms, with women in white skirts and blue coats for a starry, striped float display. Indian exhibits, Pocahontas tableaux, and an aeronautical unit with Curtiss baby scout planes drew attention. Aerial signs praised aviation while navy yard floats showcased torpedo tubes and battleship models. Senator Chamberlain led the first division as the White House contingent and Supreme Court Justice Pitney joined. Messages from the Democratic National Convention in St. Louis highlighted a plank against hyphenated Americanism and foreign-born political activity.
