ARIZONANS PROPOSED
 FOR NATIONAL COMMANDER

One of the most important meetings of the year will be held by Frank Luke Jr., post of the American Le- zion at. Legion headquarters, 364 North Seventh avenue, at o'clock this evening, the feature of the meet ing being the election of II delegates to the state convention of the legion at Prescott on Aug. 8, 9, and 10.
 Interest in the meeting and in the selection of delegates centers in the effort which is being made to make an Arizona man a candidate before the national convention this year for the position of national commander. In furtherance of this effort an act i've campaign has been instituted by legionnaires in behalf of Col. K. Power Conway, one of the most prom inent members of the organization in the state, whose candidacy was en- dorsed by Frank Luke Jr., post about six weeks ago and who has been as- sured of the almost solid support of the entire body of legionnaires in Ari- zona.
 Colonel Conway's fitness for the po- sition comes not only from his inti- mate knowledge of the American Le- zion and his acquaintanceship with it's members throughout the state, but from his national friendship and the impression made by him on the last national convention, when numbers of the delegates desired to offer his name for national commander on the floor. The disqualification plans of the legion and the fact that these plans must come to their fullest fruition in Ari- zona, because of the exceptional cli- matic conditions here, are other reas- ons why the state in general and Frank Luke Jr., post, in particular, have taken up this opportunity to make an active campaign for him. During the great war Colonel Con- way, who was in the engineering corps and who was also member of the general staff, was in charge of road making on all avenues of com munications to the front, and saw active fighting in several sectors. Dur ing his service in France he was ad- vanced from the rank of captain to that of colonel. Returned to the Unit ed States, he immediately took a con structive interest in the American Le- zion, especially in Arizona, and has been a factor in all its work, both in the state and nationally.
 Among other candidates for the en- dorsement as national commander has been Col. John C. Greenway of War ren, who has withdrawn from the race, however, and who has endorsed the candidacy of Colonel Conway both in conversation and in his correspond ence. Wkh the endorsement of the Legion, which was made unanimous and the active interest that has been taken in his campaign throughout the state, it is believed that in Colonel Conway, Arizona will have a candi- date for the position of national com mander who has more than fighting chance of winning the election at the national convention at Kansas City in October.-Phoenix Republican.

FORMER SOLDIER AP-
 PRECIATES SENATOR
 CAMERON'S ACTIVITY

A testimonial of thanks and ap- preciation rendered to the Hon. Ralph H. Cameron of Arizona, from Ameri- can disabled veterans not residents of Arizona, who through the good and kind efforts of the Honorable Senator has made it possible for many veterans to obtain quick medical attention, con- pensation and vocational training.
 have been authorized to speak for few veterans, and in this will cite my own case as an example of the great interest and attention that was shown me by your good senator from Arizona.
 I was disabled while serving my country and was discharged and dis abilited home in September, 1918, un- able to work and no way to make a living; as was physical wreck and during the past near three years tried to get action from the government and had appealed to number of peo- pie to try and help me out and they could not. Then l was advised as a final effort to appeal to the Hon. Sen ator Ralph H. Cameron, of your State, which l did and after waiting for three years before to get medical at tention and compensation and voca- tional training, the Honorable Senator made 1t possible for me to receive all in the very quick time of two months. During those three years of misery from sickness, near hunger and no money, living from hand to mouth, l just had to let the people of Arizona know through the press what wonder ful work this good man has accomp- hshed for me and numerous other disabled veterans and may 1 tender thanks to the people of Arizona for having man in the senate who is so thoughtful and considerate of all the veterans. don't hesitate to say that in the hearts of numerous dis abled veterans that the Hon. Rlaph H. Cameron is one of the foremost sem ators today in the senate, as his quick work in behalf of the veterans prove it.
 Hoping that this letter may be giv- en wide publicity by all the press of Arizona, so the citizens will really know that you have true representa- tive of your state and we say he has been tried and is not wanting; always willing and waiting to assist anyone, q credit is what the Hon. Ralph H. Cameron is to Arizona. The United States could use few more Camerons.
 I remain,
 Yours sincerely,
