CAPT. D. ]. MURPHY
ELECTED SERGEANT
OF AMERICAN LEGION

Captain Daniel J. Murphy, COM
manding Company NJ, the Annapolis
unit of the First Infantry. Maryland
National Guard. was elected sergeant
at arms of the State Commandery of
the American Legion of Maryland at
the second annual convention of the
organization which was brought to a
close in Baltimore yesterday.
Lively scenes marked the election
of the officers. Amos w. w. Wood
cock. of Salisbury. was elected State
Commander. The electioneering was
spirited and the voting exciting.
The election of Mr.. Woodcock was
decided victory for the Eastern
Shore as against the Western Shore,
Col. Claude Sweezey. Baltimore city's
candidate. having Withdrawn his name
at the beginning of the balloting.
Colonel Sweezey threw his support to
John Carmichael of Hagerstown, and
despite this assistance Mr.. Woodcock
won out by just three votes. The
vote on Che second ballot stood Is
to 70.
Some ill-feeling was@ engendered
early in the morning session when H.
j. Lepper of Post No. 81, who sec
onded Woodcock's nomination, in
withdrawing his own name as a can
didate for the position of State COM
! mander, said he hoped the man
elected would take Office with "clean
hands" AS the name of Colonel
Sweezey had been put into nomination
shortly before, the statement of Mr..
Lepper was sharply resented by sew
eral of the Posts. including Montfau-
con of Baltimore, and of which Colonel
Sweezey is a member.
The next convention of the Legion
will be held at Ocean City, Nd. dur
ing the summer of 1922.
The other officers elected were:
William NJ. Stern of Frederick. Md
Guy T. o. Holiday of Baltimore. A
Dana Hodgton of st. Marys county
vice. commanders; Arthur Renauf
I.treasurer; Miss Edna A. Oldfield ol
Baltimore. historian; Rev. Charles t
Hewitt, chaplain.
