Show STARTINC MACHINE POLITICS. Soldiers of New York Organizing for Political Strength. New Yory, May 23. A Syracuse special says a soldiers movement has been started there which may have important influence on the polities of the state. The plan is to organize veteran leagues all over the state' and give them a dis'Inc tively political character, of a local as well as general. Grand Army posts, as such, have nothing to do with politics. "Organization" said a veteran will be for mutual aid in politics and perhaps in other directions. We shall organize so we shall be in a position to assist friends effectually whenever opportunity affords. The existing county veterans' league will be the basis of organization- There will be a eiTtc committee for every assembly district in the stali;; a vice-coiiimander for every town and ward, and he will- have a staff of ten members." The soldiers arL- horcful of building a powerful political machine. |
