Unappropriate Addresses at Memorial Day Observance
The Item's Correspondent notes with disgust that eminent speakers at Memorial Day events in the Northland veered into politics and railroads discussions, rather than focusing on veterans and the occasion. It laments Roosevelt's talk on who should control railroads and urges restraint, praising South respect for veterans. It lists attendees at the Carolina and Tourist Hotels in Washington and shares a poem fragment about the Senate.
