DIXIE" IS PROPOSED AS NATIONAL SONG < i ovemcnt Started in Chicago to ; Change Words and Retain i Air. I Chicago, Sept. 17.?The national 1 >ng of the United States should be < Dixie," and not "The Star Spangled 1 anner," according to the opinion of < dmund Vance Cooke, who said today 1 lat "Dixie" holds the real place of < Tection in American hearts. i "The tung of 'Dixie' would be well tted to a national song," Mr. Cooke lid, "but the words should be changed ' > that they would fit all localities, luckwheat Cakes' and 'Land o' Cotin' don't satisfy New England or the acific coast. The words should be i ade national in scope." < Mr. Cooke has written verses to be i ing to tne rousing tune. The first i ;rse and chorus are as follows: ] m glad to live in the land I live in, ] est to get and the best to give in. f Hip Hooray! Hip Hooray! Hip i Hooray. U. S. A. t Id Uncle Sam's my best relation, t lakes me feel I own this nation. 1 Hip Hooray! Hip Hooray! Hip f Hooray! U. S. A. 1 CHORUS, o it's U. S. A. forever, t Hooray!
