,Not At Outs With Legion
LINCOLN Talk concerning the
so-called enmity of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars toward the American
legion has grown so obnoxious to the
ears and the heart of State Comman
der Dick Abbott that he has decided to
take trir bull by the horns and i?sue a
statement.
"As department commamler of he
state department of . Veterans of For
eign Wars, I wish to emphatically
state that fo far as the olncial side
of the organization is concerned, there
is not and has never been any opposi
tion toward the American legion, the
Spanish-American war veterans rr
toward any other ex-service men's or
ganization. ; -
"I am heartily sorry that at ope
time the Veterans of Foreign Wars
saw fit to appoint and elect a few offi
cials who were antagonistic to the le
gion, and to the Spanish-American
war veterans. I am looking forward
in a hnnsA-rlpilnintr 1 wish in HflT to
I the public that we, as an organization,
are hoping to eradicate either the ill
will that has been stirred up by those
minority members, or to eradicate the
members themselves, as far as any of-
nicial connection is concerned. 1 was
elected as state commander on a
platform that pledged me to do all in
my power to promote amity and con
cord between all ex-servic men, but I
have been hindered in this work by
opposition raised through Jhe probably
thoughtless remarks on the part of
those whom 1 choose to term 'irrec-cncilables.'
"I feel that what an oganization
sows, it shall surly reap. I pledge
myself, as long as I am at the head of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars in the
state of Nebraska to sow peace on
earth and good will toward all men.
