REDMEN WANT DELEGATION OF PRESIDENTS DUTIES

! .'HILADELPHIA - The Improved Order of Red Men, Americas old. est patriotic fraternity, recently
 passed a resolution to call upon all fraternal organizations in the
 United States to petition Congress immediately at the opening of its next session to take steps leading to the delegation of some of the duties of the President of the United States.
 At the meeting, attended by all the Great Chief of the Great council of the United States, no specific recommendations were made as to what duties should, be delegated. It was felt that this highly technical and controversial subject should be studied by ex- perts, but that Congress should be urged by petitions from orgnniza- tions representing over fifty mil non citizens to take action im- mediately to relieve our Presi- dents of many of their lesser dqIt- les so their strength and efforts might be conserved for the more important functions.
 The Improved Order of Red Men had it's beginnings ill the days be- lore the American Revolution.
