Commander Henry Johnson and Past
Commands Edwin II. Holbrook, of the
| Department of Potomac. desire to state
thru the columns of The National Trib-
une their qualification for the splendid
! Endorsements which they are receiving
| from Posts of the G.. A. r., members of
! the House of Lords and hundreds of
personal Endorsements of the candidate
| presented by Department of Potomac,
| G.. A. r., for Commander-in-Chief. De-
partment Commandey johnson says
that he believes that there has never
been anything like it in the history of
| the G.. A. R., and says that it doesn't
seem to him that there can be another
living man whose personality has SO
| wrapped itself about the hearts of the
veterans as that of John McElroy, who
for the past S5 years, first as editor of
the Toledo Blade and later of The Ma
uonal Tribune, has given all the energy
of his life to the upbuilding, comfort
and welfare of the veterans of the civil
war.
Thru personal letters Col. Hol-
brook who is Chairman of the John
McElroy Campaign Committee. finds

the candidacy of Comrade McElroy, but
