IIhi'K'osm Hanford MacXider continues to be .National Commander of the Ameri can Legion rather than to be Senator from the State of Iowa. Those who know Jack MacXider were not surprised to learn that he would not desert the leadership of the Legion In order to accept a seat in the United States Senate. When Senator Kenyon of Iowa resigned in oribT to accept a Federal Judgeship, the Governor of Iowa offered the Senatorship to Hanford Macnider. Evidently the temptation was great because the appointment would have made MacXider the first World War veteran to sit, in the United State .Senate; and, being only thirty-two yea 1 8 old, MacXider would have been one of the youngest men ever sent to the Senate. Yet, the offer was no sooner made than it was de clined; there was no indecision; MacXider promptly announced to the Governor of Iowa that while lie deemed it a great honor to be U 3. Senator for Iowa, he deemed it a greater honor as well as a duty to continue his work as National Com mander of the American Legion. In refusing this high political ; honor, I think that Hanford Mac Xider demonstrated entirely his fit ness for t lie high position that he now holds; he did a big thing; he turned down a senatorship for which smaller men would have paid a king's ransom in money and have mortgaged their souls. Jack Mac Xider had been entrusted with the highest ollice in the American Legion; he refused to relinquish the hi'h trust bestowed upon him by the choice of his comrades; he came clean, and four millions of his bud- d:es salute him. 1 cons'der Jack MacXider a real man worthy of any trust.
