men, However, in Ballot at
Separate Meeting
BONUS 1920; WET 1922
Warm Discussion Preceded De.
cision on Bonus; Nothing
Said on Prohibition

Members of Lloyd Spetz Post No. 1,
American Legion, Friday night re-
fused to consider either the bonus or
prohibition questions submitted to
them by the state headquarters OF
the veterans organization.
As World War veterans, however.
they Joined with non-Legion ex-serv-
icemen at separate meeting in bal
loting on both subjects. The result
showed World War veterans in this
vicinity to be heartily In favor OF
immediate payment Of the bonus and
overwhelmingly in favor of a vote on
the prohibition question.
The vote on the bonus was 1872 to
SO. On prohibition it was l6l to %.
Warm discussion preceded the vote
on the bonus but nothing was said
on the floor with regard to prohibi-
ton.
Objection Of the Legion post to
consideration of the measures was
based on the fact that the last ma
tional convention Of the Legion,
meeting at Detroit, had recorded the
Legion's attitude on both issues: that
to vote against that action now would
tend to divide the organization and
that there was no necessity for
bringing up the questions in Legion
meetings at this time.
Mention was made Of the fact that
the national organization OF the Vet
Grams Of Foreign Wars, by advocating
the bonus measure, were tending to
divide the solidarity OF tho Legion
and that the matters had best be
considered as ex-servicemen rather
than as Legionnaires.
One speaker commented tlaat Do
litical considerations might be in

Republican national committeeman

know the attitude Of North Dakota
veterans more because of his Repub-
lican post than because Of hts posi-
ton in the Legion.
The call for the vote specifically
stated that Stern was to attend q
meeting Of the Legion's national
committee soon and wanted the vote
by state Legionnaires to guide him
in his actions there.
No vote was taken on a proposal to
keep the actions and deliberations Of
the Legion secret, but considerable
opposition to the idea was voiced.

cline in attendance at American AS
ISOLATION baseball games during the

cial session, to scale down admis-
sion prices for bleacherites, women

Is cent bleacher seats June /, to adj
nit women and boys under u for
25 cents on all days except Sundays

that Leon had to pull up after
that one terrific lap because his
