Summary
Poster entitled "Lawrence's flag parade" which continues to read "Columbus Day Saturday, Oct. 12, '12"., Includes 6 photographs reflecting allegiance to the flag by various groups in Lawrence. In the upper left hand photo (partially missing), the banner reads"For God and country the stars and stripes forever. The red flag never! A protest against the I.W.W., its principles and its methods." The parade was viewed by 65,000 people, all carrying flags, and was held by the city, in pursuit of patriotism, chiefly as a protest to a strike of city textile workers sponsored by the I.W.W., held earlier in 1912
