The American
Legion and u.
S. Politics
BY Samuel w. Mccall, Former Gov.
ernor of Massachusetts.

Ci4iOi VI 4i1eiOSGCHlStIIS.
In the political campa gn J. which
has just ended the members of the
American Legion do not appear to
have shown any undue haste to utilize
their military service as political
asset and get themselves elected to
office. 1t was inevitable that from 50
large number Of men here and there
should be drafted ~ the locality in
which he lived. Col. Roosevelt, for
instance, was urged to accept nom
ination to the assembly in New York
and was elected. The few speeches
he has Just made upon public ques-
tons justify the hope that he will
prove successful in his new career
In Massachusetts, it was believed by
the Republican manager that the sol
der element should be represented on
the state ticket and accordingly an
excellent soldier and man of business
was made candidate in the primar-
les for state office, but he was beat
en- largely because his victorious an
tagonist had a more advantageous
place upon the ballot. Another very
good soldier was nominated for lieu
tenant governor by the Democrats,
but he went down to defeat at the
polls along with the rest of his tick
ct in the landslide against his party
In looking over the field it can fairly
be said that the members of the leg
ion avoided the appearance of rushing
from the field of battle to the politi-
cal caucus and seeking to convert
into office the peoples gratitude fol
their patriotic service
A good beginning has been made b.
the legion in carrying out it's avowee
purpose to keep it out of politics
But while IS an organization i
should not enter politics, it is EN-
phatically the duty of its members il
their individual capacity to do other
wise. Not to do this would be in vic
lation of the principles CT the ordc.
and of the duty OF the members a.
citizens.

dates will not disappear and that
they will be found in he chairs Of
the chief executives Of state, in the
cabinet and even the presidency. But
the country has right to demand
that their advancement shall net come
about from any league or order of
military men but from the free
choice Of the people, and that they
shall be selected on account of their
fitness out of the great mass of ou1
population. To convert the Legion
