Attitude on Bonus.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
The action of the United States
Commerce Chamber Committee
against the bonus for service men Is
a great injustice to them and also to
their families. The United States ban
ner before the world with the words
I'VE are the wealthiest nation in the
world" does not hold true when it
is asked 10 give bonus to the men
who defended the nation. The money
power in tho United states did not
consider what kind OF an orgy would
take place when the United States
called men for military service. The
injustice under which many of the
service mems families had to live
has been published many times in
newspapers. While these men were
defending the nation, the money

DRY LEADER PREDICTS
THE EIlE(NHION OF COZ
Bryan Adds Nothing
10 His Former Views
OF Party Nominee

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6-Beaten
in every battle he waged in the
convention, William Jennings Bryan
today had little to say regarding
the selection of Governor James NJ.
Cox as the party's presidential nom
inee.
"I have already expressed my
views on the candidate and what he
stands for" said Mr.. Bryan. Crepe
tition is unnecessary at this time"
The views Mr.. Bryan referred to
as having already been expressed in
cluded sharp criticism of Governor
Cox for his wet" tendencies, also
declaring the Ohio Governor lacked
progressiveness, and said Governor
Cox was lined up with Wall street.
Mr.. Bryan declined to say what
part, If any, he intends to take in
the campaign OF Governor Cox. The
Nebraskan not only made a losing
fight to prevent the nomination Of
Governor Cox, but he lost out in eff
forts to shape the party platform to

dry issue, protiteering and other mat
tiers,

PRESIDENT SENDS
CONGRATULATIONS
To PARTY NOMINEE.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Definite
assurances were given at the White
House today that President Wilson
plans to take an active part in the
campaign to elect Governor Cox as
his successor.
It was indicated that If his health
permits the president will make some
stump speeches for the Ohioan, but
otherwise will use all his influence
as head of the party to win Demo-
cratic victory in November. An early
conference between Mr.. Wilson and
Governor Cox probably will be ar
ranged, it was learned.
President Wilson did not receive
news of the nomination ofGovernor
Cox at San Francisco until he arose
shortly after o'clock this morning
An attendant was waiting to hand
him thr report of the closing ballots.
which. with morning papers, he read
at the breakfast table.
Although those close to the adj
ministration several times during
the last week have indicated that
Governor Cox would not be unaccept-
able, there is little doubt that the
Wilson lieutenants favored the nomi-
nation of Mr.. McAdoo. Governor
Cox was not the first choice Of vir-
tually all the cabinet officers at the
convention and the same feeling has
pervaded the White House Offices
during all the voting.
Governor Cox, while at first the
choice of convention forces which
might be called anti Wilson, is con-
Sidered here to be a warm admirer
of the president and has been a
League of Nations advocate from
the first. It is ,elieved that Cover
nor Cox's views on this issue are
fairly well expressed by the treaty
plank in the platform.
President Hands OF
? The White House again today en-
time tried to dictate to the conven-
ton who the nominee should be and
as far as could be learned no Wilson
order" of any kind was sent at any
time. The. president was sleeping
during the crucial convention period
Of the last eight ballots, with orders
that he was not to be disturbed.
Gov or Cox was highly praised
today at the White House and in
high admtnlstr IN circles as a pres
idential candidate. The belief was
expressed that he can carry the
states New York, Ohio, and New
Jersey for the Democrats. Demo-
cratic leaders here were Supremacy
confident that Governor Cox can
beat Senator Harding in their pivotal
home state.
The Ohio governor is said by Dem
ocrats, he to be one Of = best
campaigners in the country and the
prediction was made that he would
make an unusually vigorous cam
paign, probably with an extended
tour.
News Of the Cox nomination reach
ed Washington at such an early hour
that 1t failed to cause a ripple Of ex-
element. Cluttered around every
telegraph wire fro mthe convention
were many prominent government
officials, while others were up all
night keeping in close touch with
newspaper Offices.

NEXT PRESIDENT
WILL BE SIXTH
OHIOEXECUTIVE

, SAN FRANCISCO, July s.-ohio,
always q doubtful and important
state in national elections, has as
sumed added Importance this year
because both parties chose as their
presidential nominees men from the
Buckeye state.
It is the first time since 1904 that
q similar thing has occurred. That
year Roosevelt and Parker, both
from the same state, New York, were
the nominees.
With Harding and Cox contending
for honors in the national election
Ohio is certainly to be holly con-
tested this fall. Managers Of both
candidates already are making plans
for state campaign Of unparalleled
vigor.
The next president will be the sixth
Ohioan to occupy the White House.
Politicians commenting today on the
situation said that Ohio's reputation
for electing whoever is nominated for
president within her borders will
again be upheld. as no matter which
party wins. the president will be
an 0hioan.
