cincts out of 176 in the district plac-

Ambassador Doubts Propriety of
Entering Campaign.

NEW YORK, September John
w. Davis, American ambassador in
London, conferred with democratic
leaders here regarding the POSSIBLE
ity of his taking the stump for Cox
and Roosevelt.
Following the conference Senator
Pat Harrison of Mississippi, chair
man of the democratic speakers bu-
reau. said that Mr.. Davis was anxious
to enter the campaign fight, but was
deferred by a question of propriety.
Senator Harrison said he was anx-
ious to overcome Mr.. Davis scruples,
which, he explained, are based upon
the fact that there is no precedent
for such a course on the part of a
high-ranking American diplomat.

SOL LD|ERS' BONUS FIGHT
/ SPLITS RANKS OF G.O.P.
Two WAYS and Means Committee
Members Bolt Conference;
Fight is on Sales Tax.

Washington. April 30.-Insurgency
among House Republicans over the soldier
bonus question reached it's climax last
night. when Representative Young, OF
North Dakota, and Frear, of Wisconsin,
boltcd the conference of Republican mem-
bers of the WAYS and Means Committee
and joined with group of insurgent Re-
publicans in secret conference.
Refusal of the Republican leaders on
the WAYS and Means Committee to
abandon the proposal for taxation on
sales caused the break in committee ranks
The remaining Republicans on the
committee completed their tentative
draft of the Soldier Bonus bill and sent
ii to the printer. so that it would be ready
for the Republican conference tonight.
The conference promises to be one OF the
most exciting yet held by the Republicans,
one filled with bitter debate and one which
may result in ultimate defeat OF the entire
bonus legislation. !.
The situation even within the ranks OF
the Republican members OF the ways
and Means Committee remains tense with
its possibilities. Detection Of the two Re
publicans leaves IL Republicans standing
regular for the present committee program
while the two boilers, by combining with
t1lt IU leIIlDGItiS, Wohiu iN"sN
publicans voting majority IN the COM
mittae of only one. Three Of the COM
mittee members standing regular are
opposed to the sales tax provision, IT is
said, but are refusing to bolt. in the hope
that some harmony may be restored at
the conference tomorrow night.
About 25 insurgents joined in the con-
ference. A statement was prepared In
which the signers pledged themselves to
support bonus legislation. but expressed
unalterable opposition to the sales tax
plan. The insurgents said last night they
had obtained the signatures OF approx
mately so Republican members to this
statement and that by tomorrow night
thev would have more than 75 names.
Obtaining the signatures, they said they
would have the Republicans on record
when the conference was begun tonight.
The break, in the ranks of the RepublI-
cans came after morning of rather heated
committee debate. Representative frear.
who has fought at all times against the
imposition of sales tax. remained IN the
committee sessions seeking various com
promises to avoid the tax but his efforts
were futile.
