The American Legion (Continued from page 1) Legion Made Its Leaders Mr. Jones reached the studied conclusion, Mr. Aldridge said, that the leaders did not make the Legion but that the Legion made its leaders. He quoted from the Jones history: “The sum total of public service, within and without the Legion, of the men who were its leaders was tremendous. Nevertheless the - organization was stronger than its leaders. Twen-ty-eight first-rate Americans were its national commanders from war’s end to war’s end, but there were thousands of first-rate Americans who served as department and post commanders and committeemen and officials,

whose capacity and character would have justified their choice as national commanders. The leaders did not make the Legion. To a varied degree the Legion made its The open forums of thousands of American Legion posts were a constant training ground in Americanism and in leadership. The committee meetings and the state and national conventions were typically American institutions, legislating agencies under a charter and a constitution drawn on. the great American pattern of a representative republic. From them came the men of ability and character who could assume responsibilities, give expression to principles, persuade and direct and guide activities. The American Legion had able leadership because the American way of life produced able men.”

Lowdown On “Kingmakers” Mr. Aldridge also quoted an interesting Jones commentary on the so-called “kingmakers”: ‘The organization developed its own internal politics, whose practitioners were nicknamed the ‘kingmakers’. They were active Legion workers, popular in their home states, who were always sure to be named delegates and whose wide acquaintance in other sections gave them a growing influence in the advocacy of causes and candidates. William H. Doyle of Massachusetts, Phil Collins of Illinois, Mark McKee of Michigan, Frank Belgrano of California, and Ben-Dorris of Oregon enjoyed the reputation of being able to ‘line up the vote’ although it was never certain whether they named the winning candidates or merely learned through advance inquiry who was likely to win and made a show of promoting the success-

ful cause. The ‘patronage’ of this political game was appointment to the more important standing committees, an honor much sought after because it gave some distinction to the appointees and carried entitlement to expenses attending meetings. The plums were not very rich, but Americana love to play at politics and the Legionnaires had their fun.”

GRAND OPERA (Continued from Page 1) Indianapolis sopranos, and x the part of the Messenger will be taken by David Aiken, tenor, of Bloomington. The all-important Aida ballet is being brought from Chicago by Mara Davedova, prima ballerini. Stage sets are being designed and constructed under the supervision of Walter S. Russell, whose wife is wardrobe mistress for the opera. - Dr. Sevitzky’s assistant stage director is Robert Clark Hollingsworth. J. Charles Gilbert, general manager of the Indianapolis Centennial series in Butler Bowl, is producer. The public is asked to remember that the opera -will start promptly at 8:30 p. m. instead of the usual starting time for Centennial series functions. The opera tickets were printed with the wrong starting time, Mr. Gilbert said, but the “curtain” will be promptly at 8:30 because of the length of the opera. For the production of “Aida” only, all tickets—evefi the 60c general admission tickets—are on sale-at English’s box office from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. daily. They may also be obtained at the Bowl beginning at 7 p. m. on the opera night if there are any remaining.

Money Solves Everything “Yes,” said Henderson, “for a while- after our marriage we were nearly eaten out of house and home by visiting relatives and friends.” “How did you stop it?” asked a friend. “It was quit simple,” laughed Henderson, “I loaned money to the poor visitors and borrowed from the rich* and I haven’t been troubled with a visit from either since.”
