Americanism of the Legion

The rmation of the American Le zion post at Kennecott last Tuesday is the first step toward 100 per cent A mericaniSm in this section. Ever since it's inception, shortly after the war th patriotic organization has advocated a more restricted immigration schctls'o as the only means of absorbing tn, present number of foreigners in this country. Immigrants, pouring into the country have all but saturated it with any creed but Americanism.
 The imm grafton bill now in Con eress would cut down the influx of tle un1esirar, Alpines an | increly. the number of assmiaDle Nol dis, that is the Scotch rish, En ;i,3h and Scan '17avIan peoples, It is largely through t..e folts of the Leg On that the p res entation of this bill has been made possible.

 Whether or not the skirmish was success will be shown by Congress dis disposition of the bill.
 Where ever Legion post is formed the fight for \ nericdnism is on. and as rule the posts fight as hard as the soldiers during the war. It's aim is to make bcoter citizens in the community and some Way CT another 1t generally succeeds.

Million Expresses Thanks

To the voters of Randolph county:
/ take this method of expressing to
you my appreciation for the vote given
me in the election just closed. Were it
possible ! would be glad to write each
of you a personal letter, but as l re
ceived 22SO votes il would hardly be
possible for me to do so.
l can hardly find words, however,
to express my appreciation for so large
an endorsement. Many of the town
ships deserve special mention. / can
never forget Bristow for her loyalty
to me in this and two years ago l
only lost II votes in the township.
Neither will l forget Wiley with her
100 votes; nor O'Kean, which was
loyal to me in the election before and
gave me 1O3 out of 100 this time; and
Current River and ReynO townships,
which had not received any road work
and only small amount of road funds,
gave me 1876 and 151 votes, respective
ly. And then there is Warm Springs,
Ingram, Foster, Sloan, Columbia and
Little Black which gave me GO, 90, &C.
124, 142 and 165 respectively.
This support shows the kind of peo-
pie these townships are composed Of
people who show their appreciation OF
service rendered them by standing
Loyalty by the party rendering the ser
vice. Then there is Richardson, which,
although there was a good man in the
field from her realm, had So citizens
who stood true to their posts and gave
me the township. Then there was
James Creek which gave me the sur
prise of the election as ! didn't expect
to receive more than % or 30 votes
in the township.
Then there was Butler, Spring River,
Birdell, holland, my home townships.
| never will forget their loyalty. And
last. but not least, is Demun which
gave me nearly 800 votes. | can not
forget her. And in the townships that
/ lost, ! shall not forget the splendid
efforts of my friends who fought a
losing fight
MY friends / thank you, yes thrice
II thank you. And / assure you that
the confidence placed in me by you
will not be misplaced or betrayed.
| shall ever keep in my mind your
interests and my promises and shall do
my very best to discharge the duties
resting upon me with credit to myself
and you all.
As ever, your servant,
