BRYAN HAS ILLINOIS

Although Ten of the Chicago Delegates

PRESIDENT THREATENS VETO
SAYS NAVAL BILL MUST CARRY
MONEY FOR TWO NEW SHIPS.
FIGHT DUE ON SENATE FLOOR
Poll Of Upper House Gives but TWEEN.
ty-Six Votes in Favor Of Presidents
Plan for Four New Battleships
Senator Lodge Quits Fight.

Washington, April 23.-President
Roosevelt will veto the naval appropri

house. fai! to make any appropriation

thoriZed III the measure. The prompt
announcement of this fact to senate
leaders is regarded as responsible for
the announcement by Senator Hale
that he would propose an amendment
appropriatng s7OOO.OOO towards the
construction of those ships.
The PRECEDENT stated his position on
this point with his usual emphasis
and suddenness upon learning that
the bill, as passed by the house, was
simply paper" provision for naval
increase. Authorization of the ships
was made. but no money carried to
make the provision effective. Such
legislation as this, the president made
known to his numerous congressional
callers, was a travesty as TO effective
ness, as we'll as bearing all the ear
marks OF legislative legerdemain, In.
tended TO make ridiculous his cam.
palSn TOT the greater navy.
That the presidents quick and Wig.
orous action is to be effective is evi.
denced by the action of Chairman
Hale OF the senate naval committee In
announcing that at the proper time
he will offer the 100000 amendment.
There is not the slightest indica.
ton that the president has ceased his
fight for four new battleships, accord
ing to the evidence Of senators who
talked with him recently. Senators
