LETTER OF Acceptance

in full bodily vigor and not entitled to
pension. VIII they authoritatiyely
state that they intend to DO this2 If
so, we accept the issue"
This suggests the suspicion at least
that the order was made to create an
Issue; that 1t was supposed to present
a strong strategic position In the bat
tie of the ballots. But as the making
of that order was, In my judgment, an
attempted though perhaps unwilling en-
croachment upon the legislative power
and therefore unwarranted by the con
stitution, the challenge is accepted. IL
elected l will revoke that order. But
1 SO further and say that, that being
done, l will contribute my effort toward
the enactment Of a law to be passed by
both houses OF congress and approved
by the executive that will give an age
pension without reference to disability
to the surviving heroes of the civil
war and under the provisions of which
a pension may be accepted with digni-
ty because of the consciousness that 1t
comes as just due from the people
through their chosen representatives
and not as largess distributed by the
chief executive.
