372Inter Ocean Sep 2 Buffalo Bill Objected To. The posters first issued for the parade of Labor day announced as "Honorary Marshal, W. F. Cody," but those issued later contained no mention of that picturesque individual and thereby hangs a tale. When the first posters were distributed a great big protest was sent up by union men in different organizations on the ground that Buffalo Bill was not a laboring man but a shrewd show manager, and that they did not want Labor day and the union parade made an advertising medium for the Wild West or any other kind of a West. When the marshals got together they found that the scheme would not work and they voted to take him off. All kinds of charges and insinuations were made, as is usual in all such cases made and provided, but there is no evidence that it was not done with the idea that it would be a drawing card and was done thoughtlessly. | 372Inter Ocean Sep 2 Buffalo Bill Objected To.
