Ban on Czolgosz’s Name
G. A. R. Men Say It Should Never Be Pronounced by an American.
Madison, Wis., October 3—An order was issued
yesterday from the headquarters of the Department of the Wisconsin G. A. R.,
putting a ban of silence on the name of President McKinley’s assassin. The order
reads in part:
“Our friend, our comrade, our President, is dead
by the hand of an assassin, whose name should never be pronounced by an American.”
The idea is to have the criminal forgotten by
the veterans, their children and grandchildren, so that the name of the assassin
or details of the crime may never be commented upon.
