Indianapolis businessmen back National Guard with privately funded armory
Willis S. Thompson notes Indianapolis leaders propose a 300000 to 500000 armory funded entirely by private subscriptions to honor the Indiana National Guard. He contrasts this praise with years of hostile press coverage aimed at Adjutant General Bridges and guardsmen, citing federal recognition of the Guard as one of the best in the United States and steady enlistment growth. The piece cites Governor Ralston’s 1914 appointment and the 2351 officers and men recorded in 1914.
