PAGE 6lX THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1919.' LEGION TO DRIVE FOR mmmm. Salem's Quota Set At 300 In Nation-Wide Campaign For Million Men. : Titers are two grand events that bring llie American Legion prominently be fore the public this week. The state ' convention is hold in Portland Wednes day and Thursday, with Theo. Roosevelt Jr., rh, the chief attraction. Then ' President Carleton &uitii bas juit re ceived a letter from Portland headquar- - ters stating that a national campaign for membership has been announced from the national officials, who havo made as their objective a million mem bers .'The quota for Sulem will bo 300, and the local branch is urged to get behind the movement with all possible enthusiasm. Fortunately the way has been pre pared for just such a campaign by the officers of the local post, who weeks ugo made plans for building o,p tue uiniiliersHhi). A thousand letters are being mailed out to returned soldiers and sailors, inviting them to come into the ranks of good-fellowship, ana use is being made of big posters to attract attention. While the campaign, under the man-t-.gciuent of Ivan McDanicl, will not be .run fined to the present week; President Hmith will enlist a committee. of hustlers to get out and make a special effort to reach the quota. The great idea Is tliut every additional member means ib ' additional attraction to the order. It bus been suggested that a booster meet-4 ing bo held during the fair, but the' committee has deemed it advisable to call this meeting off and instcud to t rnngc for a grand dnnco and entertain- i meut feature to be put on sometimes in October. In the meantime President Hiuith ea) upon every member to con sider himself a committee of one to in- . vlte fellow service man Into the ranks. There are indications that some of the boys are being kept from member-' ship through misapprehension as to the' niiii.t and purposes of the Legion, It should bo understood that it has the broadest possible scope, and that it is not tied up with nny political, niiiitary or other plans. It is essentially a civil-j inn organization, with motives tiu.t em brace the highest welfare of the nation and of the individual members. It may concern itself with important legisla tion, but never wtih partisan politics. It is intended to gatlier up from the entire body of service men and women the elements Of patriotism and Ameri canism and crystallize them into action. Its invitation is so broad that no degree of rank or service or social position can make any difference in its membership. Tho stnte contention in Portland is like ly to prove a memorable galherlnjr which which should be largely attended. The official delegates, chosen are Ivan G. McPaniels, Dr. W. C. Smith, Dr. R. D. Byrd, Millar McGilshrist, Leo Page, Robin Day, Frederick Lamport, and L. II. Compton. It is hoped that the Salem post will be well represented. "Ei?
