HERE TO ORGANIZE
AMERICAN LEGION

Tonight is American Legion hIShl'
II you have been in the army, navy
or any other branch OF the service,
it is your patriotic and civic duty to
be there and bring all ex-service
men with you, who have not heard
of this meeting. The American Le-
zion is at present. in comparison TO
its enormous future, in what you
might call its embryo, but after the
November national convention in
Minneapolis il will be organized to
permanency whereby it will become
the most powerful factor in the
United States. Think of belonging
to an organization OF four million
men, each and every one true
blooded American, striving to per-
petuate and crystalize the spirit that
carried us through this great war.
in all its phases both here and
abroad.
You will probably read this and
say, either. 81 had all the war |
wanted and | am through with the
army" or else, II am not going in
to anything where some one can use
me as a political tool" Well for a
first argument. let me tell you that
the American Legion disregards all
rank and is strictly civilian organ
ization. Any man whether a previous
private, common seaman, ensign.
captain, or any rank whatsoever.
counts as one vote, and one vote
only. As an example take our ma
tional officers OF the Legion, one is
a colonel. another sergeant, an
other common seaman. another a
private in the marines, and the last
at lieutenant colonel.
For second brand of the argu-
ment-that Of politics; The Ameri-
can Legian is strictly nen-partisan
organization. and will not tolerate
politics OF any description. but it will
have policies and those policies may
be explained in one sentence taken
from our constitution, ITO foster
and perpetuate 100 per cent Ameri-
canism."
So, gentlemen, think this over and
think of its enormous possibilities.
whether business. problems or social
activities are involved. II you did
not get yesterdays paper. get it. and
read the preamble to our constitu-
tion, then talk it over among your
selves.
And lastly. when W. B. Eollett,
who is member of the national
executive committee, and at present
state organizer. arrives in Grants
Pass tonight, let us show him by
our attendance at the council room
in the city hall. that the men OF
Grants Pass are ready to further
movement that will enable Uncle
Sam, in these and future trouble
some times, in casting off his ac-
counts to put down as the chief item
under cash in hand"-The Ameri
can Legion.
