New Orleans, October 10.-Light

vention issues.
National officials of the legion.
here in advance OF the convention,
expressed doubt as to whether the
light wine and beer issue would
reach the floor of the convention, de-
claring it to be their opinion that
any resolution on the subject would
not go further than the resolutions
committee. Delegates already here
however. were inclined to think that
the possibility of a resolution on
the subject being brought before the
convention were more favorable
than they had been at any previous
convention.
1t is conceded that political issues
will be made sharper at this conven-
ton than at any previous session of
the veterans organization.
Criticism of Brig. Gen. c. T.. Saw

dent, and acting as co-ordinator of
