NEW LEGION TO
CAMPAIGN FOR
MEMBERSHIP
Many Veterans of Recent War
Attend Mass Meeting in
Courthouse
A large audience of returned sol
diers last night in the courthouse
heard several prominent speakers
tell of the possibilities of the Amer
ican Legion. The meeting was held
for the purpose of recruiting mem
bership and a regular campaign has
been inaugurated with the mem
bers taken in last night us a nu
cleus.
Flavel Wright was the first speak
er. and he told the men of the
appreciation and the pride that the
city had in them, and urged them
not to let themselves get away from
the high ideals which had inspired
them in their fight. Mr. Wright ex
pressed his hope that the Ameri
can Legion would carry on the ban
ner which the Grand Army of the
Republic would hand over.
Adjutant General Frank D. Bean'
said that the Legion had taken on
a man's sized job, but he felt that
they would cotnc through with it
properly. General Ileary pjraised the
G. A. R. and told the younger sol
diers what a feeling of gratitude
the country held for the old vet
erans. The same feeling would de
scend to the new veterans, he satd,
if they conducted themselves in a
way befitting a soldier of the United
States. He urged immediate enlist
ment in the Legion while the mem
ories of the war were still fresh in
their minds.
Boidleman Speaks -
The last speaker was Lieutenant
Governor E. E. Beidleman, who took
the preamble of the constitution of
the Legion and urged the members
to stand by every point. He paid
tribute to the efforts of the boys
in this war. both overseas and at
home, and expressed the hope that
they would carry on the work which
they began. Tie urged tlioni to for
get the rank and caste which is an
essential part of the Army and in
this new outfit, the Legion, institute
a democratic regime.
Captain E. J. Stackpole. Jr..
v bo acted as chairman, explained
the, organization of the Legion in
its first meeting at Paris early last
soring. This meeting was attended ,
fro- the most part hy enlisted men,
said the captain, as was the later
meeting in St. Louis. The posts of
tho Legion will he as much and
probably more under the control of
enlisted men than of officers.
V No Jealousy Exists
Captain Stackpole said he had
heard people remark about the city l
that they would not join the Amei- i
jean Legion because it was in oppa- i
sition to the Veterans of Foreign !
Wars. He wished this matter prop- i
erly understood. The American Le
gion and the Veterans of Foreign
Wars are two patriotic organiza- j
tions with basically the same rea
sons for existence and perpetuation, j
The only difference between them !
1s that the Veterans of Foreign j
Wars is only for men who have ,

FRIDAY EVENING,
served out of the country in all
wars, while the Legion is for men I
who served anywhere, overseas or
here, in the last war.
Captain Harry M. Stine, a mem
ber of the Legion, and of the Span
ish-American War Veterans, speak
ing on the same subject, said that it
was foolish to think that the Le
gion was opposed to the other pa
triotic organizations. There would
be no point in any opposition, said
Captain Stine, since we are paralle.
organizations, with different mem
bership rules.
After a discussion of proper ways
of recruiting, it was decided to give
the members a week in which to
bring in new members and next
Thursday evening a meeting will
be held to organize, elect officers
and delegates to the Pennsylvania
convention of the Legion.

been engaged as a fight referee for
years in the Quaker City, and has a
reputation of being a fair and square

It had at first been the intention
of the association officials to secure
a local man as referee, but owing to
the difficulty experienced in getting
a capable man it was decided to
look outside for one. There nre a
