f Omaha Will Seek \ 1925 Meeting of American Legion Chamber of Commerce Spurred by Success of , Lions Convention to Seek Others. Spurred by the success of the In ternational Lions club convention last week, the Chamber of Commerce bureau of publicity Is reaching out for the co-operation of other local or ganizations In "landing'' more big con ventions for the city. Leo Bozell, commander of Omaha post of the American Legion, and Harley Conant, chairman of the bu reau of publicity, went into confer ence Tuesday morning to discuss pos slbilitlea of bringing the national American Legion convention to Oma ha next year. The legion convention is to be held In St. Paul In September this year. Past conventions have resulted In an influx of some 60,000 visitors to the convention city. The legion conven tion is practically promised to Phila delphia for 1026, but it is believed that Omaha's invitation for 1925 would receive serious consideration and possibly an acceptance. To strengthen this belief Is the fact that Omaha post is the largest In the country. Certain financial obll p gatlons must be shouldered by Omaha business men before an Invitation could be extended, however, accord ing to Manager Tancock of the bu reau of publicity. A resolution which was to be passed Tuesday noon by the Lions club re flects the enthusiasm of that organiza tion over the recent convention here. The resolution urges all local or ganizations with national affiliations to unite In an effort to bring big conventions to Omaha, and states a willingness on the part of the IJons to assist with such conventions.
