overshadowing interest in com- mittee meetings, social receptions and even some of the minor events of the convention proper Is the contest tomorrow for the office of department commander of the of the American Legion. Strong, representative forces have been working weeks in the interest of the candidates of the two out standing contestants, Joseph H. Treadwell, of Danbury. present senior ice-commander, and Lieut.. Colonel Charles E. Lockhart of New Haven. Since the gathering of exservice men here Wednesday evening the campaign has been waged necessarily but tomorrow morning the forces which have been operating in the background will be obliged to take the stage and place all cards on the table.
 Not in years has a contest for the highest state office excited SO much interest and incidentally some bitterness. Politics. &C., cording to some observers have been injected into the affairs of the legion. In addition to the cry of politics" is the propaganda that a state machine Is being con- structed within the legion circles and all its affairs are being domin- ated by select few.
 The approaching conventions of the republicans and democrats will be tame affairs in comparison with the legion's battle to select its officers.
 In a statement made by Mir Treadwell he claims that he has lined-up a sufficient votes to win by almost 2 to 1 margin. This prediction was immediately chal- lenged by Colonel Lockhart and his followers. There is no questioning the fact that the fighting colonel"

(Continued from Page 1.) tinent, just to "rest before begin- ming my political activities" Tun- ney told the United Press"
 "The republicans" he said "have a difficult pill to swallow in their candidate for the presidency. In the first place he is not even a real republican. Because in 1920 he agreed to be the democratic candidate, then changed his mind.
 Tn the two stands on prohibition, there is only one choice. The dem ocrats would abolish the present law, letting the states do as they like, whereas the republicans merely substitute a new amend- ment. The republican solution probably would take seven years, and the American people cannot wait that long,"
 Tunney said that he does not know his itinerary during the cam- paign but will comply with what ever schedule is arranged by the Roosevelt headquarters.
 He said he may stay in Paris for the duration of his vacation, but that lie is not certain of his plans.

troduced to bring greetings from their respective posts.
 Richard F. Paul of Boston. Mass, national ice-commander, brought rousing cheers from the legion- naires in his stirring few minutes speech. He severely criticised con- gross for it's lack of action on vet eran legislation, urged the legion- naires to support national defense measures and closed with urging the legion to take interest in com munity service.
 Fight Starts Early
 | The session this morning was no more than started when the argu- ments commenced. James Weir of Hartford raised the question of the committee appointments. He said previously it has been the custom of the Legion commander to ap- point seven members, representing the seven Legion districts, to the various committees, whereas this year the committees have as many as 10 in membership.
 Others joined in the argument and charges that the committees were packed or padded were made by one side and denials offered by the other.
 Father Cassidy Spoke Father Cassidy rose to his feet and made a splendid speech in which he denied any partisanship, bias or underhandedness entered into the hours deliberations of the resolutions committee. He called on prominent Legionnaires who sat in at the committee deliberations and asked them to state to the convention whether any unfair or impartial proposals were advanced. Those called upon answered em- phatically in the negative. Father Cassidy congratulated Commander James Breslin for the quality and caliber of the men appointed and stated it was privilege to work with him. He emphatically denied the padding charge and added that since he has come to Waterbury he has heard many malicious and cheap rumors. He asked the Legion to dispense with this sort of talk and closed his remarks by urging all to "strive for one thing, and that is.-the good of the American Legion" He was cheered and ap- plauded when he took his seat.
 Waterbury Said "No."
 Tn the roll call vote, Waterbury's five delegates voted four mo" and one 'yes", on whether the conven- ton should ratify Commander Breslin's appointments.
 Fairfield county voted its 41 votes mo" as did Middlesex coun- tvs 21 votes. Past Department Commanders E., P. Armstrong and Paige A. seaton of Waterbury voted "no". Other past department commanders voting mo" were Jackson. Cramer. Newmarket and Scarborough. Alexander and Mo- Cook voted "yes''.
 Standing Vote
 When 1t was proposed that the convention voto on the question Commander Broslln called for q standing vote. and then announced that tho motion was carried. Boof and shouts of objections greeted tho commanders announcement IIo explained that he put the ques. ton up fairly and if those opposed did not vote it was not his fault Thon q motion was ruled out oI order that n roll call be takon beeanse the eredantlais committed
