Kansas Leglon Post Defies Convention Stafl"ord County Men Join Anti-Farmer Ring in Splte of No Politics Rule »HE Courtney M. Lo_ng post of the ' Anferican Legion at St. John, Staf- ford county, Kan., has de- cided not to abide by the decision - of ‘the recent natmnal Legion convention to keep out of politics.. We report the case of this local post as an example for other Legion locals to avoid, unless they want the usefulness of the sol- diers’ organization to. be destroyed and cause it to be merely. the discred- ited catspaw of self-seekmg politi- cians, Some ill-advised hotheads in the re- cent Legion mnational convention at Minneapolis ‘= ‘attempted to . railroad through a resolution attacking the or- ganized farmers, thousands of ‘'whom, with their sons, are members of the Legion' and anxious to assist that or- ganization in being of real benefit to the returned soldiers and to the na- tion. - But calmer counsel prevailed, and’ the Legion national delegates overwhelmingly voted down the reso- lution, which--was purely political in character.. It would not have harmed the organized farmers but it would "have done great damage to the Legion itself if passed, because it would have branded the Legion as the tool of powerful and sinister interests which: are spending vast sums of money in = Buy Them Direct From Our Fisheries (25 to 100 pounds or more), Duluth prices, per pound G; they are wonderfully big nnd xood thla winter M nder as the breast of IKE (dressed), - delicately sweet meated ...

But the Stafford county (Kan.), Legion has repudiated the ‘stand of the national Legion in tlie matter of |. politics. . In a recent resolution this local “resolves” that it will “refuse to work for or to aid any farmer or other person known to us to be a member of the Nonpartisan league.” . And .it further resolvés that it pledges itself “to ‘discourage others from working for or aiding such persons, PRO- VIDED” (the resolutions: capitalize that word) “that any farmer or other person who has joined the said Non- partisan leggue * * " * " but who has since canceled his membership, shall not be considered within the pro- CAN NOT: DICTATE * TO THE FARMERS The Leader has attempted to be scrupulously fair to the Legion. We believe ‘it can serve a great and good purpose. We believe that within the Legion itself are enough democratic forces to prevent the use of the organ- ization by a small inner ring of offi- .cers tied up with reactionary forces. In the end, we believe, the rank and file of the returned soldiers, number=: ing 10 privates to every officer, will | control the organization. Primarily it must be kept out,of politics, and it- niust not put itself in the position of persecuting or attempting to ostracize ‘members of labor, farmers’ or people’s reform organizations, because a few Legion leaders do not agree political- ly with such organizations, or have been influenced directly or mdlrectly by the huge slush funds on tap in this country today to defeat progressxve and democratic political and economlc measures. The ‘Stafford county Legion’s actmn is an attempt to dictate political opin- ion to'farmers, and a threat of sinister import to those farmers who refuse to have their political opinions handed to them by persons no better qualified than farmers themselves are to' study political -and economic questions -and reach conclusions. : The farmers want to co- operate "with the Legion and all other organi- zations which have the welfare of the ex-service men at heart and which, by’ pursuing a stralght and honest course of fair dealing, can be 'of vast benefit: “to the natmn and all classes. - SHEEP DESTROY WEEDS e “The North Dakota farmer must use every device possible to keep ahead of - the weeds in-his fields and no better-| weed - eradicator 1s known than a sheep. According to the county agent My, Fox, a farmer hvmg in McLean coun- | ty, N.
