Faulkner will ho given opportunity to state his sentiments.

All but eight of the seventeen posts adopted resolutions similar to those by the Skldmore-Dean group and some went so far as to denounce Faulkner personally. All efforts of tho State legion officers to whip the local posts Into lino failed. Only two posts went on record in favor of tho bill. The charter of the St. Mihlel-I.oer E’ost., tho second to defy the State officers, was suspended. In the avalanche of •opposilton which followed, Faulkner refrained from suspending any more. No furthej; move has been made, the “suspended” posts continuing to function as if nothing had happened.
