ISAYS PERSHING UNFIT FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

Congressman John D. Schall, of Minnesota, denounced General John J. Pershing in an address Monday. He declared that the general was seeking the presidency of the United States and was “absolutely unfit for the office.” . ' ‘ “I have felt it my duty to do what I could to thwart his ambitions,” he said. Congressman Schall was the only member of congress to vote against conferring the full rank of general on the overseas commander-in-chief of the American army.“My objections to rewarding Gen. Pershing with a full generalship was not that it would foster militarism, but it would be rewarding an unworthy officer, an un-American, unrepresentative officer.” Just received, some Pathe Phonographs and an excellent selection of the latest records. —J.
