Lot of 2 parade flags. Printed flag on cotton, 8 x 13 in. Handwritten inscription: "President Roosevelt May 4th 1903 Colorado Springs." Ca 1903. A crowd of 20,000 people welcomed President Theodore Roosevelt to Colorado Springs when his train arrived from Denver on May 4, 1903. The president was received by Mayor Ira Harris, the staff for Governor James Peabody and a reception committee of 200 citizens. He was escorted from the Rio Grande station to the Antlers Hotel by the Colorado National Guard and a long line of uniformed men. At the hotel the president insisted the ropes that were stretched across Pike’s Peak Avenue to keep a clear space in front of him be removed so the crowd could get close enough to hear him speak. He spoke for about fifteen minutes on civic conditions, receiving numerous cheers from those in attendance. Following the speech, a committee of African Americans presented the president with a silver medal in the form of a square with the inscription “The President.- President of the People, a Friend to the Friendless.” In thanking them, the president remarked “The only thing to do is to do the square thing.” President Roosevelt was given a ride through the city escorted by a group of former Rough Riders and the reception committee. Printed flag on cotton, 11.5 x 17.5 in. Ink inscription: "Calvin Coolidge Madison Square Garden – N.Y. City Oct 11th 1932." Ca 1932. Speaking before thousands at Madison Square Garden and to millions via radio on October 11, 1932, former President Calvin Coolidge comes out of retirement to campaign for Herbert Hoover who was seeking a second term against his Democratic opponent, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In a 4,000 word speech, Coolidge declared that economic recovery was underway, and President Hoover’s leadership during the crisis merited his re-election. This would be Silent Cal’s last public appearance, and although he was reluctant to take part in the campaign and resisted a movement to be more involved on Hoover’s behalf, he spoke out against Roosevelt’s approach to big government and monetary policies.
