Philadelphia Will Send Thirty
three Delegates to Minneap
olis on November 10
BONUS TO BE DISCUSSED
l'hllnilolpliin will kpinI thirty-three
delegates to the national contention ot
the American Legion to he held in
Miiipeiinolis Xoveinher 10, 11 and 112.
Tho delegation uill trael lo the nest
irn rity in a special train, leaving
here November S.
In tlcw of the great importnncco
this convention interest lias been in
tense and delegates will go from here
and from nil parts of the state with
propositions to he placed bcfuic. the
lioilv for its consideration.
The three principal (eslions over
which the service men and women lire
concerned relate to the bonus, tho na
tional policv of the legion us it af
fects method "of obtaining remedial leg
islation and the enactment of bene
ficial laws' nnil the recommendation'
nsto the Riinnression o boUhcIsm in
the United States.
Itniius Ku oral Here
While, the Pennsylvania stale con
vention has placed itse'f on record
through the leprescntatives at the can
tonment eurlj in October, us being
opposed to rciiupsli for bonuses as such,
it is certain that many of the national
delegates from Philadelphia and, from
Pennsylvania will vote in favor of the
bonus. A number of posts in Philadel
phia have expiessed themsehes by res
olution as favorable to tho bonus and
this frame 6f mind is bound to assert
itsrlf in Minneapolis. ""-
In order that the principle of home
rule might prevail in the selection of
delegates to the national contention the
men were chosen from the congressional
districts and lit the vote of tho dele
gates in the state convention from such
districts. An effort was made nt Ilar
risburg to distribute tho delegates as
fairly as possible among the various
posts, but it was manifestly impossible
to "give each of tho sevcntv-five posts
representation. with only thirty district
delegates to be elected from the sW con
gressional districts.
Philadelphia received three delegates-at-large
in nddition to the thirty dis
trict delegates W. W. Atterhury, of
the. Pennsjlvania Ituilroatl post; A.
Nevin TJetrieh. organizer of the Ger
