Gov. Baxter Sends Mes
sage to American Legion

As Governor Baxter was unable to
attend the American Legion Con-
vention to be held at Kansas City on
October 31st the General Chairman OF
the Convention asked that he send a
statement to be read at the meeting.
Governor Baxter therefore sent the
following message:
The American Legion has already
justified its existence by its ,unselfsh
work for the moral and material wei
fare of the American soldiers Of the
World War, and has already become
a factor in the councils Of this Ma
ton. Its aims are lofty, its leaders
sincere, and It's members are deter
mined to make definite contribution
toward maintaining the traditions of
our Country.
May the American Iegion's inf1u-
ence for good increase with each
passing year"
