Attempt to Make
Legion Political
Football Beaten
Delegatesto State Convention
Show Resentment Toward
Outside Influences by
Electing Deegan, 423-77

Since the return of greater New
York's delegates from the annual state
convention of the Legion at James
town, N. Y, virtually the sole topic of
conversation among them has been
the unsuccessful attempt of -non-active
members of the Legion, who have in
terests outside, to dictate toy the or
ganization in it's selection of Gfficers.
Little was said at the time of the
convention of this outside interference.
but on the night before the day of
election it assumed serious proper
TONS. Chairmen Of delegations from
all sections of the state received tele-
grams or letters from certain persons
in Albany, urging them to vote for a
hitherto unmentioned veteran rs state
commander, provided there was a
deadlock IN the contest between Will
lam +. Deegan and Hugh D. Wise, Of
Watertown."
To the credit Of both Deegan and
Wise it must be recorded that both
expressed their determination to with
draw in favor of the other if such a
situation arose, but certainly not to
support the candidacy Of the third
man.
After the scene in the convention on
the final dav it is not likely that such
influence will be brought to bear again.
Delegates knew Deegan to be the
stronger candidate nthe contest be-
tween him and Wise, and, to make GER
tain Of properly rebuking the politicians,
they threw a great deal of their strength
to Deegan. The consequence was an over
whelming victory for the Bronx man
the vote being 423 to II. Wise, in an
address from the floor, denounced the
outside interference and urged the con-
vcntion to make Docgan's election unan-
lmous which Mas done

Coast Guard Is Elirihla

Ever since the Legion was organized
a determined effort has been made TO
admit to It's membership members of
The Coast Guard. The point was raised
by those who opposed the plan that
such veterans were not members OF the
navy, therefore not eligible, and an
official ruling was handed down to this
effect BY national headquarters.
However. this rule has been reversed
by Robert A. Adams, National Judge
Advocate, who, in a letter to state
headquarters, says:
Investigation was started upon
requests of former members or the
Coast Guard and others, and an extern
sive correspondence was carried on
from this Office with the Captain Com
mandant of the Coast Guard the Judge
Advocate General of the Navy, the Of
fcc Of the Judge Advocate General of
the Army and the Comptroller of the
Treasury. From the information re-
ceived from these various sources, and
upon the specific ruling made by the
Judge Advocate General OF the Navy
that the Coast Guard was considered
during the war as a part of the navy,
the former ruling from this office
is rescinded.
Upon the information now avail
able and upon the ruling referred to
herein it is my opinion that mem bers
of the Coast Guard during the time of
war were members of the navy, and
AS such, all members of the Coast
Guard who served on active duty, fol-
lowing April Z. 1917, and preceding
November II, 1918, are eligible for
membership in the American Legion.

Weekly Still Needs Money

Reduction Of national dues in the
American Legion will be one Of tn
most important of the questions before
the convention at Kansas City, and it
appears that the advocates Of a de-
crease will fail to carry their point.
Those Legionnaires who favor a re-
duction believe that with less to pay to
the national organization ii would
be possible FOR local posts to lower
their per capita assessments and thus
persuade more veterans TO join the
Legion. At present the national per
capita dues are 81, Is cents of which
goes 10 The American Legion
Weekly
Resolutions passed at several state
conventions have directed their dele
gates to Kansas City to strive for q
reduction to IS cents, with only, so
cents going to The Weekly" their con
tention being that "The Y Weekly" is on
paying basis now and is earning divi-
dends.
The American Legion editor Of The
Tribune. in an effort to settle this
question, has learned the following
facts from ar Official who knows the
