THOSE PLUMMER RESOLUTIONS.
Resolutions Condcnmin0 Them Passed b.


Resolutions Condcmminq Them Passed by
Several Posts.
Department Commander Becker an nounced
in the Grand Army department of the GLOBE
that he hoped the L. P. Plummer post of
Minneapolis would stand alone in its criticism
of the governor for vetoing the $1,000 appro-
priation for the encampment of veterans this
summer. 1t seems this is not only the case
but the posts that have taken up the matter at
all have strongly supported the governors
and condemned the action OF the Plummcr
post.
