SAW FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.
Legionnaires from every state in
the union gathered "here today for
the opening of the rifth annual
convention of the American legion.
' The American Legion auxiliary
conrention began Its annual con
vention late today after the close
of the initial legion session.
i Committees on resolutions, re
habilitation, legislation, constitu
tional amendments, internal or
ganization, Americanism, finances,
military affairs, naval affairs,
eronautlcs, and time and place for
the 1924 convention s struggled
throughout the liter part of the
day preparing data for the consid
eration ot- the - open convention
during the next four days.
a Klan Question Arises
' A strong hand -on the helm Is
Uaeeessary to steer a straight course
during the next four days,: legion
legidn officials admitted tonight.
A. sdemand that the words "foster
knd promote a 100 per cent Amef
icahism? be dropped, from the
American- legion preamble-' was
made- late today and legion com
mitteemen stated that this would
be kept oft the floor of the con
vention if it were possible. The
expression "100 per cent Ameri
canism,; it was stated conflicts
with a slogan of a national hood
ed organization. However, the
fighters in the legion stated after
the committee eesslons today that
the slogan originally used by the
legion was taken from the legion's
preamble for the use of the second
order. :
The demand of Charles Kend-
rick, local business man, and the'
Michigan delegates, that the le
gion come out in the open and un
equivocally denounce the Ku Klux
Klan was. being fought out in
committee sessions late today and
an effort will be made, It was
stated to keep this question from
the floor of the open convention.
May Pass World Court
Committeemen working On the
world court question were inclined
tonight to favor dropping the idea
of bringing it before the conven
tion on the ground that as it stood
the question was too political. Le
gionnaires stated that while the
world court plan was originally a
legion proposal, its status today
was fraught with political dyna
mite and therefore should be ig
nored, i X " .
No change will be made on the
legion's stand on the bonus ques
tion, leaders stated tonight. The
legion is pledged to the bonus and
cannot change its position, no mat
ter how antagonistic delegates may
become, committeemen stated. The
bonus bill In its present form was
drawn by the legion at the request
of congress, committeemen assert
ed, and the legion Is still backing
its bill irrespective of the opposi
tion that h) developing here.
