TO SEN. JOHNSON
Democrats and Republicans
Of State Unite and
Show Opposition to
Peace Pact.

Butte, Mont, Oct. l0.-Partisan-
ship was cast aside here when repre-
sentative democrats and republi-
cans joined in extending a Montana
welcome to Senator Hiram w.
Johnson, waging what he terms a
Campaign on an academic ques-
ton" against acceptance of the
league of nations covenant as now
presented.
Delegations from Helena, Deer
Lodge and Anaconda joined the
nonpartisan committee of Butte
citizens who met the California
senator here and assured him that
they were of open mind as to the
ratification of the peace treaty and
league of nations.
1--WE started with a very small
beginning in Washington, due to
the tremendous propaganda for the
treaty which was accepted because
the people embraced any nostrum
designed to prevent war;" the sena-
tor asserted "As we learned more
Of it, however, we began to under
oidHd tlC udllSSlS Will WHlSll llllS
covenant was fraught."
Send Army to Asia.
Referring to the proposed treaties
with other nations besides Ger
many, Senator Johnson declared
that "by the Turkish treaty, of
which we have not been advised, we
believe that large numbers of our
troops would be sent to Asia
Minor"
Had I my way, l would have the
United States live in amity with all
peoples, but have entangling alli-
ances with none of them," continued
the senator. II want US to 60 our
own way, live our own lives and be
just American"
The audience, which crowded the
clty's largest theater, was one OF the
most enthusiastic which Senator
Johnson has met on his tour, and
he was cheered when he declared
that during his present trip from
Portland, Me. to Portland, Ore.,"
he had never faced a meeting which
affected him more singularly than
the one in Montana. The crowd rose
and cheered when he was introduced.
Not with Senators.
Announcement that the California
senator would stop at Butte was
made only last night, but the famous
miners band of the city and a dele
CATION of several hundred citizens
met the senatorial party at the sta
ton. A luncheon attended by 100
persons was given the senator at the
Silver Bow club before the after
noon address.
The committee which greeted the
campaigner against the league as
sured him that he would find plenty
of sentiment in Montana along the
lines of his fight against the cove
nant, although both United States
Senator'S T. ]. Walsh and Henry L.
Myers of Montana are democrats
who favor the league as originally
drawn.

sensible is one which will actually remove

known treatment which will do this. aside

colized wax. which is as harmless as it
is effective.
The wax is put on at night, Just as you

dead surface skin in almost invisible flaky

in our country" said Mr.. Maher,
The purposes of the Legion were
very clearly defined by the actions
taken at the St. Louis convention,
but you must remember that at St.
Louis many things of interest to the
organization were not discussed.
They were postponed till the nation
al convention to be held at Mime
apolis in November, where there
will be larger representation.
Not for Police Duty.
MANY people are under the i'm
preston that the American Legion
is semi-military organization.
This is wrong. We know that it
stands for law and order, but not
an officer in the Legion has the right
to call on its members to do any
sort of police duty.
"They may be called as individ-
uals. in case Of an emergency in up
holding law and order, however. 1t
has been said, that the Legion is to
be used by politicians to gain pub
lie office. This, my comrades. is TIN
true. The American Legion today
is free from politics. But will it be
kept clear?
Il would like to see this body go
on record as opposed to the use of
the organization for political pur-
pose. | would like to see resolu-
ton passed to the effect that any
officers Of the American Legion
shall not be allowed to stump or
further the ends of any individual
or group of politicians in any way"
Mr.. Maher, discussing what he
termed narrowness on the part of
West Point graduates, declared that
he believed that West Point grad
yates should be forced to serve in
the ranks and learn the rights and
duties of a private soldier from a
soldiers point of view.
"Our history proves that our wars
were fought by the civilian soldier"
he said,

at Hastings, Oct. .
7, 1920.

The next state convention OF the
American Legion will be held at

yesterday, and was the only i'm

Banquet Closes Day.
The first day of the convention
closed last night with banquet for
cut-of-town delegates at the Hotel
Fontenelle. The banquet was given
by members of the Douglas county
post of the Legion. Informal
speeches and a general good time
was enjoyed by all.
A heated scene, which resembled
a session of the state legislature, oc-
Cured near the close of the after
noon meeting. A demand by "a gen.
tleman from Douglas" for the inter-
pretation of clause in the Legion's
constitution, regarding the admis-
sion into the organization of SOL
diers who are still in the service and
under military orders, led to
clamor for adjournment from out
of-town delegates.
Starts Rumpus.
I'VE are not a military organiza-
ton" one youth cried. Wait till
they get out of the service"
When order had been restored a
general discussion of the subject
was held, the trend of which was
that there is nothing in the legion's
constitution to prohibit the admis-
sion of men still in service.
The session closed with an invi-
tatlon to all delegates to a swim in
the Athletic club pool.
McKelvie Gives Advice.
Governor McKelvie addressed the
convention briefly during the after
noon session, urging that the con-
stitution of our forefathers be stud
led and upheld. There will be no
adequate police protection for the
state until a National Guard has
been organized, the governor said.
but the American Legion will be
called on only as a last resort in case
OF an emergency.
The men were welcomed to Oma-
ha by Acting Mayor Ure. John G.
Maher. president of the American
Legion for the state, responded.
Pershing Sends Telegram.
A number of kilograms from all
parts of the country wishing the
state convention success were read.
Among the senders of kilograms
were General Wood, General Per-
shing and H. D. Lindsey, national
chairman of the American Legion.
All expressed regret at being un-
able to be present.
Several committees were elected
to discuss matters vital to the AM
erican Legion. They met in the
council chamber yesterday after
noon.

gram was the opening speech, yes

Maher, who outlined the formation
and purposes of the Legion.
