President Roosevelt will not attend the Memorial Day commemoration at Indianapolis unless the people who organized the statue of General Henry Ware Lawton and those representing the Grand Army of the Republic reconcile their differences. Roosevelt tells Vice President Fairbanks that the veterans of the Spanish-American War should give precedence to those of the Civil War, since the latter conflict was of “infinitely greater nature” than the former and they are much older. Fairbanks should not make this public, but “any celebration of Memorial Day must be primarily a Grand Army celebration.”
