The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1918-08-10
o,anager Of Central Division Advises
Men In Work to Forget Politi-
cal Ambitions or
Resign.
CONSTITUENCY is LARGE
Candidates Would Find Glover Field
gut Humane Organization Will
Not countenance
Them.

Howard w. Fenton, manager of tn
central division of the Red Cros
saws in a letter to G. +. Mcfarland
chairman of the Keokuk chapter, t.
day. that the Red Cross organizatio
must be kept strictly non-pa rtisan.
The context in part of Fenton
letter is printed herewith:
"The first general election
since the entrance of the United
states in the war, is to take place
before long. The Red Cross must
be maintained a strictly non
partisan, non-political organiza-
ton. The reasons for this are so
obvious to everyone that they
need no elaboration.
Membership in the Red Cross
includes so many people and
there are so many men of promi-
nence engaged in its work at
home or abroad, that it is not at
all unlikely that many Of them
will be candidates for Office. No
matter how sincerely any Red
+, Cross official or worker may
strive to keep separate his Red
Cross work from any possible
political ambitions which he may
entertain, he may and probably
will be quite unable to prevent
his friends from using his con-
nection with the Red Cross in
order to gain favor with the
voters.
"The text of Red Cross service
to mankind is stamped by the
approval of the American people,
regardless of politics, race or re-
lfgion. No faint of selhshness or
self-seeking can be allowed to
creep into the work, endangering
and even perhaps destroying its
great accomplishment.
Accordingly, the Red Cross
war council instructs me to re-
quest that all officials of the Red
Cross, who are in position of
executive authority and who at
the same time contemplate can
didacy for public Office, either to
resign in their official capa city
from the Red Cross or to refrain
from such candidacy"
