AMERICAN LEGION
MEETS PERSHING
Ceneral Is Welcomed for Poten
tial Usefulness for tlio
Present and Future
New Yorli, Sept. 18. "The Amer
ican Legion welcomes you, General
Pershing, on account of your potential
usefulness for the present and the fu
ture." With thece words Colonel Luke Lea,
former United Statci senator from
Tennessee, turned with outstretched
hands toward Gcnernl Pershing at the
ItWon's mass meeting nnd reception to
W)5 Hadlson Square Garden last
ap tVll bade him welcome home in
!io nwi of the organization.
VfeV- tTWusand men and women, mem
Deri and guests of the legion, sprang
to their feet nnd cheered as General
Pv"hing, introduced nfter Colonel Len.
rose to speak. The uproar continued
srvernl minute'', white the consolidated
military and naval band played "Hall,
Hail, the Gang's All Here."
Gcnernl Pershing remained expres
sionless during Colonel Lea's address,
wbllo tbe latter launched a vigorous ap-
arfll fti n frtrflltm nnMov fnr rh0 United
'jtQMs which would "insure-safety to
&t ff.flers and protection to tne peo- ;
In his nrtdrps nt the lezion recen-
;aiiu
lion General Pershing said he was
"glad to encourage the American Le- I
gion as long as it stands for true Amer-
fcanism as long as it keeps its skirts
freo and clear from petty politics.
"And with that understanding," he
continued, "I shall be glad to encourage
it in every way. The American Legion
should cherish and foster the lessons
in patriotism which have been brought
home to the American people during
the last two years.
"This organization possesses great
advantages for the display and exercise
of the same patriotism with which its
members have been imbued in their
service abroad and at home, ancK it is
the hope of all of us who arc interested
In the welfare of this organization that
you enter it with the same integrity of
purpose with which you conducted
yourselves inthe war.
"Our country is founded on laws
and not on men, and it should be the
purpose of this organization to stand on
government by law based upon the
principles of the constitution. I should
deplore it if there were any chance of
tho American Legion becoming a po
litical tool in tho hands of political
aspirants."

his friends say, to the insTstence of the
Varo leaders, who promised Mr. Con
way their support against Judge Mo
Cnllcn. In the event of a deal being
completed with Judge Bonniwell and bis
coterie of Democrats, whereby lsonni
well would receive tho A'are support
against McCullen, then Conway was to
be backed for Judge Henderson's seat.
Hence his dual candidacy.
Such a combination, it will be noted,
would fill the judicial vacancies in
Philadelphia with Vare adherents.
The commonly nccepted fact that the
Bonniwell deai has been perfected
brings to the front not Mr. Conway,
bilt William C. Wilson, who is being
touted as Judge Henderson's successor.
Details of this latest combination arc
lacking, but it is definitely assured that
Mr. Conway is left high and dry to
meditate upon tho Punic faith

i... . ----
"now unionist, Mr. Conway
The alleged fidelity of organized labor
to the Vare ticket is seriously called into
question by the action of Senator Vare
and his friends in throwing the Conway
candidacy into the street.
Mr. Conway is, and has been since
1S0S, an active member of the Uifited
Hatters, and holds a paid-up card jn
his local. He is a hatter by trade, read
law, was admitted to the bar, and be
came a candidate for judge of tho Muni
cipal Court in 1016. He was the rec
ognized labor candidateMndorsed bv the
Central Labor Union. Samuel Gom
pers indorsed Conway's candidacy nt
that time.
While he has given no public 'ex
pression on his manhandling by the
Vare leaders, his betrayal, through
what his friends assert are the broken
pledges of the Vare leaders, will arouse
indignation, they say, among that
branch of organized labor with which
Mr. Conway has been affiliated.
Only to Attract Labor
It is now apparent that he was en-
couraged to persist in his candidacy
for the bench simply to attract the sup
port of organized labor and induce it
to believe that ultimately an active
Inborite would be indorsed for a judicial
seat.
Another object, it is now generally
conceded, that has been tho real pur
pose behind the nomination of Daniel
Wade as Vare candidate for sheriff was
to attract and hold, if possible, what
is known in political circles as the
"Catholic vote." It is a gratuitous
imputation upon the political indepen
dence of a largo body of Philadelphia's
best citizenship. The question of race
or religion has never been raised, so
far as I have discovered, among the
Independents, which is an evidence of
good common sense and Americanism,
to say the least.
There has been some talk of Mr.
Conway making a declaration on the
subject of his candidacy. It was hinted
this morning that he might make an
expose of what his friends call organi
zation trickery at the Independent
mass -meeting nt the Academy of Music
tomorrow night.
Governor May Get Active
The defiance of Governor Sproul's
wishes in a refusal to recognize his
request that the judicial ticket be not
subject to factions! attacks but in

The regular Republican, or Vare, or
ganization, if it persists in involving
the judicial ticket in the mayoralty
mixup, can make up its mind that for
three long years, or during the re
mainder of the Sproul administration,
it must be content to cool its heels in
the ante-chambers of the Capitol. The
doors to official appointment will un
doubtedly be closed hard and fast.
Twice already has Governor Sproul
requested that his appointments to the
bench in Philadelphia be respected and
if, cither from fear or defeat or arro
gance of power, the Vare leaders dis
regard his pica the punishment that !i
usually isitod upon tthe ungrateful
or the faithless doubtless will be theirs.
Cheering Crowds
Greet Pershing
Continued From Piuco One
along the line cheers, showers, waving
of flags, throwing of hats and clapping
of hands.
Crowds Are Karly
Philadelphians and thousands of
others from nearby cities and towns be
I gan to mobilhe early in pr(.paration for
the welcome
Trolley cars, always filled in the rush
hours of the morning, were crowded to
the limit, bringing men, women and
children to the center of the city all
eager to see the great American sol
dier. The subway-elevated from Sixty
ninth street responded to the demandb
of suburbanites in a manner which
would have done credit to the taxicabs
that rushed to the defense of Paris in
the early days of the war.
Trains rolled into .Broad Street Sta
tion with thousands of passengers from
more distant points. Philadelphia was
to honor Pershing, but Pennsylvania
was not forgetting the day and the hero.
Parade Route Transformed
This tremendous influx of visitors,
added to the big throngs from all sec
tions of Philadelphia, turned the center
of the city, particularly along the route
marked out for General Pershing's
progress to Independence Square, into
a surging arena of militant enthusiasm.
Broad street. Chestnut street, Mar
ket street and the Parkway were lined
with admirers of the leader of tbe
American expeditionary force.
The crowd around the North Phila
delphia Station, where General Per
shing is to make his first entrance into
the city, was remarkable in size and
spirit. All were keyed up to a desire

of the days of 1770, lent n bit of old
world glamour to the pulsing scene.
Traffic policemen were posted nbout
the station, ready to dash out at a
moment's notice to clear the way for
General Pershing and his staff for the
march of triumph to Independence
square.
Automobiles of the reception com
mittee were deeply parked nn the north
roadway of the station. Chief among
these were the cars of Governor Sproul
and Mayor Smith. The Governor's
military aides were in attendance early
nnd gave another gilded touch to the
setting for the receptiou.
Polico,w-ere everywhere along the line
of march. Jinny were detailed tn pro
tect the crowds and to keep them in line.
Others were busy putting up the con
trol ropes at the curb's edge. Patrol
wagons were posted at strategic points
to care for any one hurt in the crush.
Military efficiency was called on to make
the arrangements for handling the
crowds a success.
Crowds Early In- quaro
The crowds also began to gather early
in Independence Square, where General
Pershing will deliver one of three ad
dresses. The Union League was the
center of another throng, fnr here the
general will speak twice once inside
and the Jcooml time from the Rroad

tho gift of the Florists' Association of
Philadelphia, had been distributed to
ihe school children packing the grand
stands along the Parkway, and as the
caT- bearing! the general made its way
along thnt thoroughfare its tread was
softened by the carpet of blossoms
thrown into the Tnrkway by the chil
dren. More than 100.000 varieties of buds
went into that multi-colored carpet of

Cheers Drown bongs
When General Pershing did round
the corner of the Parkway, at twenty
minutes nfter 10, a few did as di
rected, but their voices were lost in
the uncontrollable ovations of chrer
ings and cries that roared n welcome
to the chief.
Every seat in the nine great grand

along the thoroughfnre was tnken up hv
persons willing and anxious to stnnd

So great did the roar or welcome be
come thnt General Pershing was com

welcoming cheers and devices with
Lows nnd salutes.
The famous 'Tor-hing smile" lived
up to all expectations. He little looked

Thousands of girls and boys awak
ened this morning before mother called
nnd excitedly began to dress as they
remembered what the day was to bring
forth To some of them it meant just
the excitement of n parade and crowded
streets, vv 1th toy balloon and soda pop
venders on ever corner, bnnd music and
soldier heroes galore Some remem
bered they were to sec "the fellow that
helped chnngc the map of Europe."
There wore others impatient to see the
man who directed the army big brother
father served in. And older pupils
thrilled ivith the thought of even seeing
the international hero, whose name
would, be enrried down in history for
their children and grandchildren to
tend.
There was no concerted effort to
bring nil the school children together fort
the welcome to General Pershing.
Mnyor Smith presented about 2000
grand stand tickets to parochial schools
nnd the same number to public schools,
so I le thnn 4000 children will wave
tings nnd sing pntnotic songs as the
parade passes along the Parkway.
As the grand stand tickets were lim
ited Superintendent Gnrher apportioned
those given public schools to children
in elementnrv schools below- the eighth
grade. The tickets given Ihe parochial
tchools went to the high school boys
nnd girls.
Most of those who did not receive
tickets are looking forward to seeing
the parade from other vantage points.
Teachers nnd principals have impressed
the pupils with the higness of the event
nnd most of them realize it is nn op
portunity of a lifetime. During the
next week thev will be writing com
positions and discussing in geography,
history and English classes the various
phases of General Pershing's service
anil his visit to Philadelphia.
Always There With the Punchl

with the presence of mind which may
account for his later triumphs, politely I
told the man to put nvvaj the revolver
and tight it out like n gentleman. The
