PLAYS LEAD
IN STATE CONVENTION
Maynard-Pric Post Delegates Take
Prominent Part in State Amer
lean Legion Meeting

Pullman's four delegates to the
state convention of the American
Legion, held last Thursday, Friday
and Saturday at Spokane, were ac-
corded their full quota of honors
and more, and Maynard-Price post
came to be recognized by the other
state organizations as one of the liv-
est local posts in the state. George
T. Mcmahon was named member
of the ways and means committee,
Clyde Myers was a member OF the
committee on delegates to the ma
tional convention, Frank w. link
drew membership on the committee
to set the time and name the place
for the next state convention, and
George H. Cannon was made men,
Der of the committee on vocational
training and war risk insurance. Mr..
Cannon was also elected to member
ship on the executive committee of
the department of Washington, one
of the highest offices in the gift of
the service men. He will serve in
that capacity for a three-year term.
After gathering considerable sup
port the Pullman delegates with
drew their bid for the 1921 state
convention, but are assured of very
strong support for the 1922 conven-
ton.
Early in the convention there de-
veloped small clique determined to
dictate the program, and when
the choice of a new commander
came to the floor it was the brill
liant and convincing speech of one
of Maynard-Price posts delegates
that turned the tide of victory to
Thomas Swayle of Seattle, highly
capable man.
The question of radicalism, Japan
ese settlement and legislation for ex-
service men occupied the majority
of the time of the legislative commit
tee, the report of the committee COW
ering these points being unanimous
ly adopted by the convention.
The election of George H. Cannon
to the executive council of the de-
partment of Washington assures
Whitman county of good representa-
ton next year, when Pullman will
in ha
vention.
