Ek] Ca WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1921 11 FAIR PLAY IS POLICY OF COLONEL HACKETT Candidate for Illinois State Legion Commander, Outlines Policies in Letter to State Legion Posts »In response to urgent requests from within the organization, Col. Horatio B. Hackett of Chicago, has announced his candidacy for Illinois State Com- mander of the American Legion in the approaching Legion election, in the accompanying statement issued this week. Col. Hackett's candidacy has received the endorsement of a considerable numbers of Illinois Ie- gion posts among them the Evanston and Glencoe Posts. Col. Hackett's statement reads: In arriving at this decision, I have given careful consideration to all that should be expected of the Department Commander. I realize the obligation that must devolve upon any one hon- ored with this important office, that personal interests must be set aside for the interests of the legion as. a whole, and that a great amount of time and thought must be devoted to the many problems which will arise during the coming year. Favors "Bonus" Plan If the following can be accomplish- ed I feel that a great stride forward will be made in the progress of the American Legion. 1. To stimulate the work and legis- lation designed to relieve the present unsatisfactory conditions surrounding our disabled and sick comrades. Hav- ing spent nine months in hospitals 1 am fully acquainted with existing conditions. 2. To work tirelessly for proper recognition and full adjusted compen- sation (bonus) for those who took part in the World War and continue the activities already under way. 3. To organize the work of the Le- gion so that it will be conducted on a business basis, co-ordinating all de- partments. 4. To increase the membership. 5. To effect an organization that will take into consideration the de- sires, wishes, and prerogatives of the Legion--not as a class or party or faction, but as an organized body of ex-service men banded together for mutual helpfulness. 6. To be guided by and to carry out all the provisions and ideals con- tained in our constitution. 7. To seek and to consider carefully the advice of the executive commit- tee in all important matters. "Play no Favorites" 8. To play no favorites, to curry no favors, to refrain from taking sides with any political party, or Legion faction and to play the game fairly and squarely with all concerned. 9. To create harmony in all fac- tions, thereby eliminating time spent in fruitless argument, and to concen- trate all energies, all the power and all the brains of the Legion toward furthering its aims, its ideals and the general welfare of its members. 10. To conduct the affairs of the Legion in the State of Illinois so that its prestige will be maintained both ! with its members and the public in! general. | ) Scholarship Tribute To North Shore Man Evanston Rotary Club Awards First Scholarship To Henry Penfield, N. U. Athlete Henry Penfield, of Evanston, a junior at Northwestern University, has been honored by the Rotary club of that city with a scholarship in the north shore institution. Edward R. Ladd, president of the Rotary club, has written President Scott of North- western University notifying him of Mr. Penfield's appointment. In his letter Mr. Ladd explains that the Ro- tarians have established the Joseph Pearson scholarship of Northwestern University and will nominate a stu- dent for the honor each year. In his reply, President Scott wrote Mr. Ladd: "By this scholarship you are paving tribute to one of Evanston's best citizens and you will make it possible for a worthy young man to secure a college education.--I know of no more worthy aims for a Rotary club and you have started a movement which should be taken up by the clubs in the different cities of America."

The club has indicated that each year it probably shall se- lect for its scholarship honor a young man with athletic tendencies, but this is not laid down in so many words in the arrangement made with the uni- versity authorities.
