Not in Politics.
1t has been persistently rumored
that the Oconee Post Of the Ameri-
can Legion would this summer put
in the field a ticket in the coming
campaign. We wish, once and for all
hence evermore and without end, to
make 1t plain that this Is a wilful,
malicious and unmitigated false rep
resentatinn of the facts. The Ameri-
can Legion will put out no man for
office, will run no man for any Office,
and any statement by anybody to the
contrary is false. We are not in poll
tics in the sense that we will run
anybody. We are in politics in the
sense that we will acquaint ourselves
at all times with the issues Of the
day, take our stand upon them, and
as individuals support the best men
to carry into effect our ideas. In this
way we feel that we can best serve
our country.
Be 1t understood that no member
of the Legion Is barred from enter
ing politics as an individual. Far
from being unfit for office, we feel
that the members OF the Legion, or
ex-service men, would make good Of
ficers, because Gle who serves his
country best in time of war will in
all likelihood serve it best in time Of
peace" However, if any member Of
the Legion offers for office, he will do
so as an individual, and not as the
candidate OF the Legion.
Harry r. Hughs, Commander.

Card of Thanks.
Editor Keowee Courier:

Editor Keowee Courier:
Will you allow US space in your
valuable paper in which to, in a very
small way, express our thanks and
appreciation for the many acts of
kindness, sympathy and help, so
willingly and cheerfully rendered us
during the sickness and at the death
OF our daughter, Grace? We can say,
in the words Of the blessed Master
"You did what you could" and our
hearts go out to you in loving re-
membrance, and while it Is impos-
sible to personally express to each
OF you our appreciation, will you not
accept these expressions as coming
out Of the fulness of our hearts?
We wish also to express to the
colored people Of our town our ap-
probation Of the sympathy and re-
spect shown us by them, and for the
closing Of their public exercises at
their school while we laid our dear
one down to rest.

SENATOR REEDS SPEECH.

The speech delivered by Senator Reed, of Missouri.
in Tampa, did not differ from those he is delivering
in other places in the state and in the South.
OF this speech the Tampa Tribune says:
We have not been blind follower of the adj
mnistration since the necessity for concerted ma
tional action ceased with the signing of the armis
tice. We have much in Mr. Wilson's policy
both regarding domestic and foreign affairs to crit
else. and we have much in that policy that de-
mands the highest commentator.
with the peace treaty well shelved and the
League of Nations covenant a thing for the
tian future. we do not see the necessity for the
fort to dscredit the administration and its leader
on the eve of an election which much to his
party and to the nation itself. if all signs can be
read Alright
Surely Senator Reed is not candidate for the
Mr.. Bryan some else whose antpathy to
the Administrators head is such to overbear all
party decency?
I'VE have turned down the candidacy OF Mr..
Hoover, man who certainly accomplished great
things for the country. because he declined to be
either fish, flesh good red herring political
packing house. We would not consider Mr.. Taft.
than whom the administration has had no fairer
critic. even defender. because he is not of our
faith. Could then consider Senator Reed?
Give us a man who is fair in all things or even
in most things. If it comes to choice between
Reed and Palmer. Reed and anybody else or
Bryan and anybody else, would support Palmer,
or anybody else who had been whole-hearted or
even part-time defender and advocate of the adj
ministration policy. before would give aid one
of these who has been first. last and all the time
against the administration and its policy"
