TO BEAT OUT BOLSHEVISM
Bi a Btaff Corretvonilmt
Harrlsburg, Oct. 3. "Policies not
politics" Is the slogan of tlin state can
tonment of the American Legion now In
peision hfire. The delegates on nil side
express their determination that the
organization must pull nobody's polit
ienl cart.
In fact, sentiment nt the convention
il expected to crystalline into resolution1
providing that any officer of the legion
who is a candidate for public office and
ii elected should at once resign his
Office in the legion.
Ilcadnuarters in tho Hotel Penn Har
ris buzzed with actlvitv all morning
while this and other Important matters
were being discussed in committee, in
preparation for the big meeting this
afternoon and tomorrow.
Delegations have conic from various
posts throughout the state, bringing
with them resolutions covering ti wide
rango of subjects. These are now in
the hands of the committee on resolu
tions, of which George Wcntworth Carr,
of Philadelphia, is chairman.
Because the resolutions to be adopted
by the convention, when presented to
morrow morning, will sound the key
note of the organization, this committee
easily is the most important here. The
various suggestions received are being
listed, and all the resolutions will be
presented to tho convention when it re
assembles in the morning.
To Fight Bolshevism
Among those presented It is known
there are anti -Bolshevik ones, anti
syndicalist ones and resolution con
demning the Tndustrinl Workers of the
World. Others denounce any attempt
at political activity upon the part of
the organization, whjlc another covers
the suggestion that no member of the
legion shall be an officei of the organi
zation and hold public office of any
kind at the same time.
Other resolutions call for remedial
measures updnvarious matters affecting
men and women in the service, or who
have served. For instance, it is nt is well organized.
n stiff civil service examination before
they can be permanently reappointed to
the service after having been demobilized
following their temporary appointments.
Tho yeomancttcs feel that their long
and successful apprenticeship should en
title them to reappointment, other
things being equal, without this examin
ation. Any resolution calling for extravagant
state bonus's "to discharged soldiers and
unllors. ifc is snld. will be frowned upon.
For instance, there afo hints of one
resolution cnlllne for a year's pay for
demobilized fighters. This would amount
lo a tremendous sum in n slate where
more than 340,000 men were in the ser
vice. "No doubt exists that this and
(Similar suggestions will bo voted down.
Any action upon this subject, it is saw,
tvlll bo most conservative.
Oppose Blue Cornflower
Tcomanotto Post No. 150, of Phila
delphia, of which Miss Margaret O.
Thomas is chairman, will present a
resolution, it is said, making unlawful
the wenring of th'e blue cornflower, now
known to have been a symbol of the
enemy alien during the war.
There have been no disputes concern
ing credentials. Icry delegate so far
has presented papers that were in per
fect order.
A well defined boom for Major Robert
Livingston Dcnig, United States marine
mmq nt Philnrlelnhla. for state chair
man, has developed. His campaign is
being managed by It. It. Hogan, for
merly a marine major, 'ine present
temporary state chairman, Oeorgc r.
Tyler, of Philadelphia, it is understood,
however, will starid for re-election.
Colonel Franklin 1) Ulier, now on the
national executive committee, was at
one time looked upon ns n strong can
didate, but it is Slid his work upon
the national committee has been so
valuable he will probably be retained
there.
Willlamsport wants the next conven
tion, and the members of Post No. 1.
which has 1100 members, is puttiu'g
up a strong bid for the meeting. Carl
A. Schug, of Hughcsvllle, is chairman
of "Post 1.
Block Convention Control
Upon each of the nine committees
that have been appointed nre twenty -seven
members. Each of the nine tci
ritorial districts has elected three men
to each committee. The representation
is uniform, nnd this makes it impos
sible for a big city like Philadelphia
with its large delegation to control the
convention. Tho 1'hlladelphia dele
gates, in fact, declare this is the one
thing they want to pi event control dv
any one section.
