M ¥ Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers - Legion Buries Attack on Farmers Resolution Assailing League Supported Only by Two State Groups—Old Guard Retalns Hold on Organization N EFFORT to line up the Ameriean Legion against the Nonpartisan league, at the Legion’s recent national convention in Minneapolis, failed by an almost unanimous vote of the ex- service men when the question was submitted to the floor of thezconven- tion. A resolution, drawn in the most bitter language, was introduced and - referred to a special committee made .up of one delegate from® each state in ‘which the League is organized. This committee was evidently picked for the purpose of having the resolution passed, if possible. North Dakota delegates were unani- mous in urging that the resolution be killed, pointing out that there was no ground whatever for a fight between the Legion-and the League. Three other members of the special commit- tee from three other states backed North Dakota, but the majority of the committee forced the resolution out on the floor. When it was read in full its own language helped to defeat it. The resolution started by reciting the his- tory of the Socialist party, then de- clared that the Nonpartisan league was simply the Socialist party in dis- guise. It followed this with a recital of all the stock lies that have been peddled against the organized farm- ers and disproved in the last four years, declaring that A. C. Townley had been convicted of “disloyalty to the government,” that the League “co- operated with the I. W. W.” and call- ing Mr. Townley an “enemy of his country,” “a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” “a traitor” and “an open fraud.” When the reading was completed Sergeant Jack Sullivan of Seattle moved that it be killed by being laid upon the table. Sullivan declared that the resolution was “unworthy of recognition” and that adopting it would be “interfering in a political fight.” MOTION VOTED DOWN BY BIG MAJORITY North Dakota delegates attempted to gain the floor to .speak against the resolution, and several states demand- ed that North Dakota be given this opportunity before action was taken. The scene in the hall was a wild one at this period, with 20 or 30 delegates on their feet at once, trying to get at- tention. Cries of - “Question” and " “Let’s vote now” finally overbalanced the demands for North Dakota and a vote was taken without debate. An overwhelming majority voted to table the resolution. When the “noes” were asked, only a few scattering voices responded. These appeared to come principally from the Minnesota and New York delegations. Considerable of a mystery was made of how the resolution originated. It was first reported that it was the work of Major Harrison Fuller, head of the Minnesota branch of the Legion and city editor of the St. Paul Dis- patch, a bitter anti-labor, anti-League organ. had taken the floor to have the word “nonpartisan” eliminated from one of the convention’s resolutions, taking a slap at the League farmers as he did it, Later reports, however, were that the resolution was sponsored, if not written, by Theodore Roosevelt Jr., who has been bitter in denunciation of the League in South Dakota and else- where. ) . In failing - to have the convention pass the anti-League resolution, the Roosevelt-Lindsley-D’Olier group scor- _ed its only defeat during the conven- tion. The controlling group secured Fuller on a previous occasion - adoption of a resolution pledging the Legion to compulsory military train- ing, prevented the Legion from going on record for a definite bonus for the returned service men and succeeded in, electing Lieutenant Colonel Franklin d’Olier of the noncombatant quarter- master corps, as national commander over the opposing candidate, Lieuten- ant Colonel McNider, a fighting man with a brilliant record. The majority of the delegates strongly favored a bonus and McNider clearly.was more popular with the mass of the dele- gates than D’Olier. The voting, how- - ever, was by states in proportion to paid up membership. It was reported -that the New York delegation raised $20,000 after arriving at Minneapolis and paid it into the national treasury to secure an additional quota of votes, and the votes of New York, Pennsyl- vania and Illinois, with votes from a few other states, obtained largely by trading, were - sufficient to elect D’Olier, though 60 per cent of the states and probably 70 per cent of the actual delegates were for McNider. The 20 officers who were originally responsible for the organization of the Legion, and who showed at Minneap- olis that they were able to retain their hold on the organization, were the following: Major Francis R. Appleton Jr. Major G. Edward Buxton. Lieutenant Colonel Bennet C. Clark. Major Ralph D. Cole. Lieutenant Colonel D. J. Davis. Lieutenant Colonel Franklin d’Olier. Lieutenant Colonel W. J. Donovan. Major David M. Goodrich. Major T. E. Gowenlock. Colonel Thorndike Howe, Lieutenant Colonel John Price Jack- son. Major Delancey Kountze. Lieutenant Colonel R. W. Llewellen. Captain Odgen Mills. Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Moore. Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roose- velt Jr. Lieutenant Colonel R. C. Stebbins. Major R. C. Stewart, Lieutenant Colonel George A. White. Major Eric Fisher Wood. This group of officers was appointed by general headquarters of the Amer- ican army in France, after the armis tice, to devise ways and means of keeping up the morale of the soldiers, by entertainments, ete., during the time that must intervene before the army could be shlpped home. They decided to organize the Legion, the name being selected at a caucus held at Paris later, to which other officers and some enlisted men were invited. The first meeting held in the Uylted States was the St. Louis caucus! - At this meeting the group of 20 colonels, lieutenant colonels and majors suc- ceeded in keeping their hold on the or- ganization, and they were still kept in the saddle as the result of the Minne- apolis convention. Lieutenant Colonel d’Olier is now national commander. Major Eric' Fisher Wood secretary. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt and Lieu- tenant Colonel Donovan swung the New York and other eastern delega- tions. Lieutenant Colonel White was made editor of the Legion paper. The only member of the list of 20 “old origi- nals” who was unable to retain his old ‘hold was Lieutenant Colonel Bennet C. Clark, a son bf Congressman Champ Clark. Because young Clark was a Democrat he was sent to the United States, after the Legion was first or- ganized, to gain Democratic suppért for it. The Minneapolis convention was plainly in the hands of the old- line Republicans of the Roosevelt- D’Olier group, however, and lost no chance to show its hostlhty to the Democrats.
