LEGION HAILED BY
COLUMNIST ELMO ROPER
The American Legion is the
most influential organization in
the United States in respect to
public question, according to a
recent finding of Elmo Roper, na
tional columnist.
In a recent syndicated column
Roper stated his investigations
show that more people turn to
The American Legion before
forming their opinions on public

questions than to any other group.
The great confidence placed in the
Legion Roper asserts, may be ex
plained by the widespread and
varied programs of this world’s
largest • veterans organization.
He also pointed out that the mem
bership is drawn from all walks
of life, which causes it to be con
sidered as unbiased in its opinions
on public questions.
