Question of jeatousy hotween Now England states is most absurd.” The only time I re- member New England fo go as a unit was when Mrs. Edwards as orgar of Auxiliary in Mass, went to Kan- sag City. The whole New England states came to her, fixed up what she wanted and she voted them as a unit. I'm going to work a frame up; get the five other commanders for New Hngland and work to go as a unit, T've just been through a red hot con- vention. T was a kind of varnished marionette. I am gétting quickly matriculated as a citizen. When they came to me and asked me to hecome commander of the legion in Massa- chusetts I asked them not to do it. Tirst thing I knew I was nominated and elected. “The legion must seck the man, the man must not seek the legion. Gio out and draft the man no matter what his position if he will fill the bill, In Massachusetts the legion is not thé strongest but they are all coming back and many new men are going to join. Jrom now on the.le- gion must pick out the men who will | work for it. It is bound to be the | future hope of the country. The suc- cessful posts are those who impress upon the community in which they live that they are the potent force to bhack up any one move. A splendid exampie of this was recently shown in Lawrence, Mass. “To my mind nobody should have | charge of the 11th of November but legion posts. 1 don’t want to see a flag at half mast. The note 1 sound for that day is reveiry. “The visit of the youth of America fs sailing further than their elders, We're the youth that's going to car the toreh. “To those who sav ‘I'm going to have nothing to do with the legion, 1 have much to say: We drafted’ men's | lives, not capital and labdy in the last | war, That Is the trouble.
