+ ..From Its birth it has, always been
in loyal able hands and judging
from the glimpse we have had into
your minds and hearts, we are con-
fident that in your hands we will
continue to be the leading nation Of
the world.
MAY the hospitality that James,
extends to you and the good you re-
ceive from this Convention live long
in your memory as one of the very
bright spots in your life
Response by Mr.. Harmon
Mr.. Commander, Mayor Rathman,
Fellow Members of the American
Legion, and Friends
"The privilege of making the res
ponse to the address of welcome to
which we have just listened, places
me in dual position; the response
not only as an individual member Of
the American Legion, but also as
a citizen of Jamestown. I realize
more than you. that that address
is a genuine expression of sincere
welcome on the part of the city Of
ficials and also every man, woman
and child in our city. The citizens
of Jamestown feel honored that their
city has been selected as the meeting
place of the Third Annual COnven-
tion of the American Legion for the
Department of North Dakota and the
Legion in turn feel. that their selec-
tion has been wise one.
1--WE are convened here in this
Third Annual Convention in state
which is the wealthiest in the union,
and yet one which is rent from one
end to the other with political dis
.cussion. 1t is a glorious thing that
we can convene here with the real
ization of the positive truth that the
skirts of the American Legion are
clean from any meddling in politics.
We have had our own troubles to
contend with and our own problems
to solve and it is gratifying that we
have made such Q success of minding
our own business.
Our Brothers. Keeper

United States within whose member

do good and SO much desire and abil-
ity to accomplish real constructive
We are here, my friends,
firm in the Biblical truth that we
are our. brothers Keepers. Its an
appalling fact that in our country
today there are over 10000 ex-ser-
vice men out Of employment and
nothing IN the future for them to
look forward too. Many OF these
men are Legion members. many have

sharp Contests at Election

&H IA Sharp Contests at Election
s.r;, Several sharp contests are expect
ed in ,the.selection OF the 1922 meet-
ink'plate, and the election of "a ma
tional committeeman aud department.
FIR, Landers state commander,
will be opposed by'M: III: Sprague Of
Grafton and, Mack Traynof of Devils
Lake for the post of national: COM
mitteeman, while Charles Harmon of
jamestown and Philip Bangs of
Grand Forks are each being backed
for state or department commander.
The Bismarck delegation is boost
ing hard for P. G. Harrington Of that
city for state adjutant in opposition
to Jack Williams, who has held the
most since the formation of the Le-
gion in North Dakota. Mr.. Harring-
ton has announced that he is will
ing to give up his personal candid
acy for the office Of adjutant but
will never give up the fight to have
the state headquarters moved to the
Capital City.
The Mandan and Devils Lakes del
egations are campaigning hard for
the 1922 convention and the Wahpe-
ton delegates are active in the dis
tribution Of buttons asking for the
1923 meeting. d, Wahpeton was
boosting for the 1928 convention
year ago at Minot and there is a
general feeling that any city which
looks three years ahead in inviting
convention to enjoy its hospitality
is deserving of recognition.
H There are indications that the con-
vention will alsd take action en-
dorsing Judge J.. M. Hanley for ma
'tional commander.
