VETERANS T0 ELECT OFFICERS TODAY Gov. Green of Michigan Slated to Head Spanish War Service Men. By the Associated Press. DENVER, Colo., September 11.—Elec- ton of officers for the ensuing year, with virtual assurance the new com- mander in chief would be Gov. Fred W. Green of Michigan, was the order of business at the thirty-first annual con- vention of the United Spanish-Amer- fcan War Veterans here today. Col. ‘Winfleld Scott of Oklahoma was the only other candidate for commander in chief, and there were reports he would withdraw in view of the apparent over- whelming sentiment for the Michigan governor. Green has been a stanch supporter of the increased pension plan, one of the most vital questions before the con- wvention. ‘Three men were nominated for vice commander—Robert Wankowski, Cali- fornia; Frank E. Shay, Connecticut, and E. W. Simmons, Wisconsin. Candidates for junior vice commander included William H. Berton, Indiana; ©O. W. Coursey, South Dakota; Otto Emendorger, Missouri; Elwood Clark, Oregon, and Fred Bauer, Tennessee. Dr. H. L. Davis of Illinois had no op- position for surgeon general. Rev. Thomas Derrick, Massachusetts, and Roy P. Parcel, Washington, were the nominees for chaplain in chief. Philadelphia was selected yesterday for the 1930 encampment.
