The title, of past national comman

last spring. * >
Election of the national comman
der followed a turbulent afternoon
when a mass of resolutions and re
ports, including the soldier bonus is
sue, were considered. The conven
tion for a time, seemed sharply split
on the proposal to indorse a specific
bonus plan, and finally voted to place
the matter in the hands of the nation
al senate and house of representatives.
Representative Rival C. Johnson of
Aberdeen, S. D., who served in France,
supplied the Inspiration which decid
ed the bonus issue. Called to the con
vention stage he urged the delegates
to ask congrss "to recognize and re
lieve the financial disadvantages” in
curred by persons who made sacrifices
to serve their country. Former
Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee, chair
man of the bonus committee, formal
ly put this resolution before the con
vention and it was passed by a tre
mendous viva voce vote.
A broad variety of subjects, includ
ing the Centralia, Washington, trag
edy, industrial unrest, and the Nation
al Non-Partisan League, were touched
on this afternoon.
Delegates from northwestern states
drew up a resolution assailing the ac-
'resid
the Non-Partisan League, but it was
tabled by a vote of the convention.
Commander 'D'Olier issued the fol
lowing statement shortly after his
election;
“The Ameircan Legion has an enor
mous amount of constructive work be
fore it in the coming year, but the
spirit of clear thinking, fair play and
co-operation manifested so wonderful
ly throughout this convention elaves
no doubt In my mind that we shall be
able to.accomplish during the ocming
year just as remarkable results for
our country as we did in such a com
paratively short time in effecting the
utter defeat of the enemy.
“Every action of the convention was
discussed carefully and in every in
stance the soundest possible judg
ment prevailed. There was only one
thought of every delegate present and
that was to do what was best for this
country of ours, for which only so re
cently we wore willing to give our
all.”
Capt. J. J. McSwain of Greenville,
nominated for national vice chairman
of the American Legion, received the
vote of 22 states and failed of election
by a small margin.

of justice with reference to the re

district atorney In New York and
states that the official and the bureau
of investigation will continue their in
vestigation and roport developments.
The department says that it believes
further developments will eiiable them

Because of the diffiQulties involved
in bringing a prosecution against
iheae-XadlcaLnegro newspapers under
the esplpnage act, Mr. Byrneg today
urged the chairman of the judiciary
committee ;to report his bill whic^
prohibits the circulation of radical
newspapers uring resistance to the

Mr. Byrnes made a speech in the
house, advocating in strong terms
the exclusion from the mal^s of cer

that Congressman Ragsdale, of South

magazines printed stories that they
had a society which had caused Mr.
Ragsdale’s death and that it would
“get” Mr. Byrnes. In addition to this
he received many threatening letters,
all to the effect that the “society” was
after him and would eventually get

THORNHILL WAGONS
S OME Thornhill owners constantly
1 comment on the ease with which die
wagon can be ‘ backed up.** This is due
to the full circle iron. The ordinary circle is but a
half circle ( u ). In making a sharp torn bolsters
often run to the end of the track and become
“derailed.” • Thornhills cannot do this because
their track is a circle ( O ).
Others comment on the fact that in spite of tre
mendous overloads, Thornhill axles never break.
The reason for this is plain. They use tough
highland hickory—reinforced by a steel truss bar
that extends the full length of the axle.
Still others comment that the gears never get out
of line. This unusual feature is due to one of
their workmen’s inventions. He designed a malle
able front hound plate—bolted to the gears at
eight points. It’s literally a jacket of iron that
holds gears in line and insures light running for life.
From hilly sections come reports that the old
trouble of broken king boks is unknown among
owners of Thornhill wagons. This because
uf a cup and saucer arrangement on die bolster
that reQeres the king bolt of strain.
To others the amazing feature ts the long life of
Thornhill beds—dud*to thfir location which gives
'them the pick of the yearly cutting of wood and
due, in part, to the fact that they paint with pure
lead and linseed oil despite its high cost
Thousands of owners have found in Thornhills
unusual strength where they are accustomed to
weakness. '
Let us show you this perfected wagon.
