Ion, to be held at Philadelphia. Octo-
Der IL to Is, the idea being that II he
II elected he would then lead the mem
bees Of the organization in their pill
glsmage to France next year when
IL annual convention is held in Paris.
II is set forth by his admirers that he
lei the American forces in 1917 to
tF:rance and that It would be q great
t..ing for him to lead the same forces
Q years later as q peace-time or.
lization.
His elevation would have to be by
election, however, at a national con.
vention, as the choice of the highest
cice in the American Legion Is by
J re of the delegates attending con-
! fstion. He would undoubtedly &C.
cent the honor, but 1t is said that he

ce1templated to hold a caucus, such
- are usually held, prior to the con.
Nening Of the Philadelphia conven-
on, at which time 1t Is proposed to
