One of the most outstanding events.in our Democracy
is represented in the above picture. It is to the Republicans
today what the Ghost of Banquo was to McBeth then. Mr.
Hoover was President and Mr. Hurley was his Secretary of
War. It was when the GOLD STAR MOTHERS went abroad
to pay their love to the graves and tombs of the heroic
dead sons. Sons who had given their last full measure of
love and devotion to the causes and ideals of Democracy of
America. The Colored Mothers were shipped over there
with cattle in a cattle ship. No other mothers except yours
were so sent. Did any one of our great Republican leaders
from the President on down yield to the cry of humiliation,
discrimination and ingratitude that at that time filled the
very atmosphere? No. This act represented the degree of
esteem and the actual distance you have come toward your
equal rights and privileges you acquired from the death of
Lincoln to the defeat of Taft. Is it not time to ask questions
and look at the record??
