this vital matter. A vote of two-thirds
of the posts is required for its ratifica
tion. t Tim appointment of the twenty-four
deputy department commanders to su
pervise the work of the Ieclon in the
state must be deferred until nuer me
ratification of the constitution, nnd In
asmuch as these, deputy department
commanders constitute the state execu-

to create that body until the posts have
Toted.
John V. Hornn. one of the organizers
of the Overbrook Post, the most recently
chartered body of World War veterans
in the legion in Philadelphia county,
