Missouri Legion Votes Conscience Objectors At Convention
Jefferson City Missouri October Missouri branch of the American Legion closes its first annual state convention with resolutions urging Congress and the legislature to adequately provide for soldiers sailors and marines who served in the war with Germany. Redick O Bryans remarks provoke fireworks aimed at War Secretary Newton D Baker. O Bryans claims veterans deserve harsher treatment of conscientious objectors and references punitive measures against objectors. The convention also names officers and sets pay for State Adjutant Edward G Nil of Kansas City headquarters. A substitute resolution shifts focus to legislative action for compensation rather than gubernatorial responsibility.
