BLOOMINGTON, Ill, Nov. 16-The
man who put over the S55,000,000
bonus for soldiers of the late war from
Illinois is Reau s. Kemp, of Blooming
ton, assistant state adjutant for the
American Legion. When the agita-
tion for a bonus was first commenced
in this state, the officers Of the Legion
debated concerning the leadership.
Choice finally fell upon Kemp and he
was given sole charge of the cam
paign. For three months he has de-
voted his energies to this purpose He
built up an efficient organization in
every county of the state; designed
and placed in effect many unique pub
licity ideas; took advantage of every
possible opportunity to win support
ers; saw that all arguments against
the bonus were answered; and in a
thousand ways overcame opposition
and gained votes.
On election day very effective or
ganization saw to it that the full vote
was polled and the triumph of the LIE.
gion is largely credited to the cam
paign so ably conducted by Kemp.

BONAR LAW
HOLDS LEAD
IN ELECTION
Has Majority of II
in Returns
EE r
tBy Associated Pressy

LONDON, Nov. 16.-Prime Minis
ter Bonar Law had secured a major
lty of II over all the other parties in
the new House of Commons when the
returns from 545 of the 615 divisions
had been received late this afternoon.
There are three non-yoting members,
including the speaker thereby making
the number necessary for a bare ma
Jority 307. The Conservatives up to
late this afternoon had captured 319
seats.
This did not mean, however, that
the prime minister already had obtain
ed so-called majority as the report
OF some of the Conservatives will be
limited on many questions, but the
Conservatives were looking to the re-
naming 20 seats to swell their num-
bers and increase their lead over the
combined opposition. Thus far, three
members Of Mr.. Bonar Laws govern
ment have been defeated namely, Sir
Arthur Griffith Boscawen, minister of
health; w. A Watson, lord advocate;
and Lieut.. Col George S. Stanley, un-
der secretary of the home office.
Unionists Whip Loses.
The chief Unionist whip, Col Leslie
Orme Wilson, is also among the los
ers. In the case of Lieut.. Col Wilson.
| it is announced that he will retain his
office and another seat be found for
him and it is assured It will be true
of the others.
A feature Of the election was the
number of seats gained by the Labor
party which enters the house with
by far the largest number of members
in the party's history. With 20 seats
yet to be heard from the Laborites
had rolled up the big total of 120
members against the 78 they had in
the last house. Their gains were
mainly at the expense of the Conser-
vatives and Georgian Liberals.
The opponents of labor, claimed that
the latters successes were due to the
fsplit in the vote, the situation being
comparable with that created with the
| Theodore Roosevelt candidacy In the
United States in 1912. On the other
hand the labor leaders assert that la.
Dor is coming into its own as the re-
suit of its policy Of working for the
poverty stricken population and for
the peace of the world.

DRYS RETAIN
THEIR POWER
in CONGRESS
Harding Sees Liberal
Shift. Report
By PAUL r. MALLoN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The drys
hold a two-thirds majority in the new
congress. Vets hopes of amending
the Volstead act must be deferred un-
til after the next election at least.
Wayne B. Wheeler, legislative chief
of the Anti-Saloon league, told the
United Press today a careful canvass
Of the new congressman has been
made, and as a result, dry leaders are
confident they lead.
Regarding the dry program. Wheel
er said:
1. That congressional drys are now
massing their forces to withstand the
wet uprising which is expected as
result of the wet sentiment in the re-
cent elections.
2. An effort will be made to "take
prohibition enforcement out of poll
tics" by passage of the bill placing all
federal agents under civil service.
3.-No new teeth" measures are
planned for introduction in congress
-drys being content with the present
law.
Says ''Wet Era" Myth
Wheeler declared the "wet era" her
aided by the election was largely q
myth. Investigation has determined
he said, that many congressman and
senators who were claimed by the
vets are not vets at all
"If there was any successful candi
date who did not proclaim himself
dry-some people Immediately reached
the conclusion that he was wet" he
added. But wait until the new con
gress comes into office and then yor
will find out who is wet and who is
dry.
I'VE expect a determined fight from
the vets to modify the Volstead Law
but l am confident we hold the ma
jority which will prevent any wet raid
The only measure designed to perfec
prohibition enforcement will soon bt
tpassed by the senate, probably at tht
special session." Wheeler said. 'This
is the bill which forces all prohibition
agents to undergo civil service exami
nation" =
NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-Presiden

eralizing of the prohibition enforce
ment act" according to Mrs. Robin

association that the president had writ

THIRD PARTY
TO SPRING UP
BEFORE 1924
Will be Manufactured
If Not Demanded
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN
1922, by United Press)

lCopyrt9ht, ISZZ, by Ontreo PreSsJ
WASHINGTON, Nov. ia third
party will be manufactured for 1924,
whether there is a public demand for
1t or not.
Politicians of both great parties pre-
dict this, declaring the next two years
will see determined effort to create a
third party, and that whether it will
finally appear as a spontaneous ex-
pressios of dissatisfaction with exist
ing factions depends upon three
things:
/. Taxation and the cost of living.
g Industrial and economic policies
of the government.
8. How fast Europe gets back on
its feet.
But whether public sentiment de-
mands it or not, observers whose pre-
dictions seldom go wrong, see third
party presidential ticket In the field
in 1924 drawing many votes. But the
third party will be organized and
mainly supported by people who are
not now Republicans or Democrats.
Kind That Concerns.
The kind of third party the Repub'
1icans and Democratic leaders are con
cerned about Is one made up of Repub-
third party that will ruin either one OF
both of the now dominant political
groups.
Republican leaders for instance, fear
more greatly the farm bloc which will
sit in the sixty-eighth congress as a
third party nucleus than all the confer
ences of radicals, liberals and intellect
uals that can be held. If the farm
bloc develops into a third party, Il
will do so on its record in the next two
years, whereas the radicals will simply
make third party among themselves
and try to win support for it on pledges
and promise. 1t is the difference be
tween promise and performance anC
between the two, political observers
point out the people are more likely L
be drawn to the group that has made
record TO actual achievement.
Rebels May Bolt
II taxes remain high and lie heavy
on the farmer and the small busines:
man; If industrial Legislation un
pleasing to labor and economic laws
unhelpful to the farmer are passed
and If Europe does not come back, ere
ating markets for American goods
and prosperity for American work
ers, there is very likely to be a strong
third party demonstration by rebels
within the ranks of the two parties
third party, like any other. de
pends largely on it's leadership fol
success and for that reason, the spon
sors of existing new party movement
are trying hard to line up Senators
Borah, LaFollette, Johnson and othe
progressives with their various polit
ical creeds. These senators are stand
ing aloof Not even LaFollette wishe
just yet to join any handmade thirt
party Borah refuses to be trappet
into jumping the party fence.
Johnson grows more regular as tn
days go by. All of them want t
watch developments during the com
ing two years. before they quit thei
present allegiances.
