KLECKNER OUT
FOR COMMANDER
Will Be Candidate AT County
Convention To Be Held
December 9

Perth Amboy Post Nc. As, Amer
| lean Legion, has unanimously
adopted a resolution endorsing the
| candidacy of Past Post Commander
Ronald Kleckner for county com
+, mander, and members of the local
| post will make a strenuous effort
to elect their favorite at h county
| convention which will be held in the
| Headquarters of the Piscataway post
Saturday, December 8. The date
for this county convention was orig
inally set for Saturday of this week
but owing to an important eXecu~
tive meeting at Trenton on this day,
to which all a%djutants and poss
| commanders throughout the state
have been invited, it was decided 10
postpone the county convention one
week.
The endorsement of Past Com
mander 'Kleckner vas he feature
of the meeting of the Legion held
last Friday night. The masquerade
dance which will be held Thanks
giving night in Junior Hall by the
post was talked over, there being a
big advance sale of tickets whicI
gives promise of a record-oreaklng
crowd.
Seven delegates and seven al
ternates have been selected to at
tend the county convention from
the Amboy post, these men also to
represent the post on the county
executive committee during 1928.
The seven delegates are Messrs.
Dinner, Holm, Thompson, Wutricn
Kleckner, Larsen and Deegan. THESE
candidates, following the action OF
the post in endorsing Kleckner were
instructed to vote for and assist his
candidacy. Past Commander KlecE-
ner, in thanking the legion mem
bers for their support. outlined
briefly a program which he VIII ini-
tiate IL elected to the Office OF county
commander.
He declared that there were at
least three matters of great import
nee on the county's program OF
activities for next year: First, the
| wiping out of the present deficit IN
the county treasury by a united effort
on the part of the various posts III
| the county; second, hearty cooper
| alton of every post in the county
| and the county organization with the
state department of the legion in its
Forthcoming campaign for mem bers
| and in all matters affecting h wei
fare Of the legion as put forth by
| the STATE anu ndtlOIidi VI SdIlcdtiphSf
third, a closer cooperation between
the posts in the county so that they
will cultivate more the spirit of com
radeship which is the foundation OF
| the great organization of which we
| are SO Justly proud. The past CON
! mander pledged his efforts toward
carrying out this program if elected
| and besought the help of every indi,
| vidual member of the legion in Mid
dlesex county toward accomplishing
this end.
1t was brought out during the
discussion that there is considerable
sentiment throughout the county
favoring Kleckner's election, nu-
merous posts having endorsed his
candidacy. The election will brins
to an end the hardest fought cam
paignt for county commander in the
| history OF the organization in Mid
! dlesex county. Several candidates
| for the various offices are in the
field and a lively time is predicted
