FARMERS ARE
AGAINST BONUS
Agricultural Bloc Splits
Over Drives on u. S.
Treasury
LEADERS ARE
LOSING GRIP

WASHINGTON, d. c., April rs
Discussing the soldiers bonus in a
special to the New York Herald to-
day. Louis seibold says:
Senators and Representatives who
are not affiliated with the agricul-
tural bloc assert that hitherto docile
followers Of the leaders Of the en-
terprise are displaying considerable
apostacy and. in some instances,
open rebellion. The most logical ex-
PLANTATION OF these insurgent ges-
lures observed to date is that the
authorized leaders Of the bloc are
suspected of favoring certain special
agricultural interests and ignoring
sentiment among the folk back
home"
The bonus provides a conspicuous
example OF the tendency toward in
dependence of Senators and Repre-
sentatves who have hitherto fol-
lowed the leaders OF the combined
farming groups. Since the arbitrary
advancement OF the bonus measure
in defiance of the President and the
Secretary OF the Treasury there
seems TO have developed a great
wave of opposition to It because OF
the realization by farmers that they
would be called upon TO contribute
nearly 80 per cent. OF the money to
pay the bill.
