For many, the treatment of Senator Johnson by political extremists helped solidify Dallas's reputation as a \"city of hate.\" I wrote about this particular situation in my book, Assassination and Commemoration (University of Oklahoma Press, 2013). Here is an excerpt with footnotes for further reading on the long-lasting significance of this incident. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator\r\n\r\n--\r\n\r\nDesignated by city Republicans as \u201cTag Day,\u201d crowds of young women distributed pro-Nixon tags and fliers and solicited funds on the downtown streets. Republicans waving signs reading \u201cLyndon Go Home\u201d and \u201cLet\u2019s Ground Lady Bird\u201d were also on hand at the Adolphus Hotel where Democratic vice presidential candidate Lyndon Johnson appeared at a campaign luncheon.[i] \r\n\r\nLyndon and Lady Bird Johnson arrived by motorcade to find 400 hecklers at the intersection of Commerce and Akard Streets. As the Johnsons retreated into the Baker Hotel across from the Adolphus in order to freshen up, a young woman grabbed Mrs. Johnson\u2019s gloves and tossed them into the gutter. By this time the crowd had grown to include \u201criff-raff from the [nearby] beer parlors and some of the lower class restaurants.\u201d[ii] After refusing both police protection and recommendations that he and his wife enter the Adolphus via a side door, Johnson\u2019s party made their way across the street. The fifty yard trek took thirty minutes.[iii]\r\n\r\nAmong the hostile crowd, Congressman Bruce Alger, later deemed \u201cthe man primarily responsible for the demonstration,\u201d brandished a sign that read, \u201cLBJ Sold Out to Yankee Socialists.\u201d[iv] Though Alger later claimed that he was not present for any of the pushing or shoving which ensued, he did tell the jubilant crowd that he wanted to demonstrate that the Senate Majority Leader was unwelcome in the City of Dallas. Alger\u2019s supporters \u201chissed at and spat upon\u201d the Johnsons as they pushed their way across the street.[v] One of the senator\u2019s supporters later said that she was kicked, hit, stuck by pins, and cursed at by the angry protestors.[vi] The following day, The Dallas Morning News described the scene as \u201c45 minutes of Republican bedlam that was the nearest thing to an uncontrollable mob Dallas [had] witnessed since the wilder days of the Texas-Oklahoma football games.\u201d[vii] \r\n\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\n[i] James Lehrer and Sue Connally, \u201cLBJ, Wife Remain Calm,\u201d The Dallas Morning News, November 5, 1960; Warren Leslie, Dallas Public and Private, p. 180-181; Melvin Belli with Maurice C.
