Congressman King Swope running
for reelection in the Eighth District
is deceiving the soldier boys.
Whenever he tells them that>the
election of a republican administra-
ton means a cash bonus to the ex-
service men, he Is misleading them.
Congressman Swope may be speak
ing his own convictions when he de-
elares for cash bonus, but unfortu.
nateIy the Republican party has never
appointed the youngest member Of
Congress spokesman for the party
Quite the contrary Whenever Swope
advances the bonus az an argument
for his reelection he wanders far
astray from his platform. He takes
the position quite opposite to that
warranted by the platform and by the
utterances and actions Of the tickets 5
standard bearer, Warren G.. Harding.
There is always safe way by which
the voters can be guided in the selec-
tion of their public officers. The
party platforms and the public utter
ances of their leaders are the guide
posts which may be reliably followed.
The Republican platform does not
pledge the ex-service men one single
solitary need of assistance.
Senator Warren G. Harding in his
public utterances has never mention
ed any thought Of assistance for the
ex-servics men, iu fact, his votes in
the United States Senate show that
he has a disposition quite to the con
trary.
On September 7, 1917, when Senator
Harding, Democratic, proposed al
amendment to the revenue act rails
ing the pay of soldiers serving abroad
to 5000 a month, Senator Harding
voted "No."
On the subject of bonus the Re
