Senate Race.

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD
TRENTON, May 3.-Unwilling to inter
fere with the candidacy of Gov. Edwards
for the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator to succeed Joseph
s. Frelinghuysen, State Senator Alex
ander Simpson OF Hudson to-day an
nounced the withdrawal OF his candidacy
leaving the field open to the Governor.
Senator Simpson said he had encered
the contest only after he had received
personal assurance that the Governor
would not be a candidate. He insists
that If tala Governor ceases to be can
didate Twill consider that change of at
tltude will just as automatically put mt
in as his announcement put me out.
"Gov. Edwards he said, ''in my opin-
ion. not only in the State but in the
nation, stands for antagonism to prohi-
bition as represented by the control OF
the United States Congress by the Sec
tartan lobby called the Anti-Saloon
League. and I therefore have always
thought that he was strong candidate
jim fact the strongest.
al will, of course, enthusiastically sup
port Gov. Edwards, as he represents the
intelligent and vigorous demand for the
modification of the Volstead act so as ia
permit the sale of beers and light wines. "

Washington, ID. c., May 3.
Senators McCumber On. d., Wat
son (Ind) and other members of the
Finance Committee were so busy to-
day trying to get some comfort out OF
the primary election in Indiana that
they had no time to consider the bonus
bill. All sorts OF efforts were made to
prove that Senator News stand on
the bonus had nothing to do with his
defeat. However, Senators opposed to
the bonus raid drew an entirely diff
ferent conclusion.
Chairman McCumber said he had no
time to finish the draft of his new
bonus bill, modification of TIE House
measure, which has been tentatively
agreed on by majority of the COM
mittee members. He expected to have
it ready for the printer tonight, and
he may call meeting of the commit
tee tomorrow to consider it.
Meantime Senator Smoot is more
bitter than ever in his opposition to
the McCumber plan, and he is deter
mined to make a strong fight for his
measure. which, provides for a paid up
insurance policy as a bonus for each
ex-service man.

are convinced of Senator Watson's
sincerity. They have long known
there was little sympathy between the
element in Indiana politics with which
Mr.. Watson has been identified and
that which successfully supported Mr..
Beveridge.
Democratic leaders are inclined to
attach, a good deal of Importance to
this phase of the Republican situation
in Indiana. They predicted that the
regular organization would knife
Mr.. Beveridge; that the Harding Adj
ministration would not go out of its
way to help him, and that Mr.. Ralston
would win the seat to be vacated by
Mr.. New next March.
1t is not expected Mr. New will
leave public life as result of the ad-
verse decision of his Indiana constit-
uents. When Mr.. Hays surrendered
the office of Postma ster General the
Republican leaders predicted that Mr.
New would succeed him IL his ambi-
ton to retain his seat in the Senate
was not realized. It was said the place
was offered to him when Mr.. Hays left
it. Consequently there is a strong Inn
preston that he will step from the
Senate into the Post Office Department
at the end OF his term.
Democratic leaders were not so re-
luctant to discuss the defeat of Mr.
New as their Republican associates. 1t
brought from Cordeli Hull, chairman
OF the Democratic National Commit
tee, characteristic declaration that
the defeat Of Mr.. New was "a plain
and emphatic Reputation of the Har-
ding Administration"
The Democratic chairman expressed
the opinion that Senator News cam
paign from beginning to end was made
the test of the Harding Administra-
ton. President Harding has been his
silent ally, and he has had the tacit
support of every man of the Admins
tration. If the Republican voters OF
the country will not stand for the
Harding Administration 1t can scarce
ly be expected that the Republican
Senators and Congressman will re-
remain loyal.
"Mr. Ralston is as much more pro.
gressive than Mr.. Beveridge as Mr.
Beveridge is more progressive than
Senator New"

DEEGAN FOR SOLDIER BONUS.
State Commander Says He Was
MisQuoted I'm Interview.

William Il. Deegan, State commander
of the American Legion, wrote a letter
yesterday to THE NEW YORK HERALD
repudiating statements attributed to him
by an ex-service man whose interview,
published May 2, quoted Major Deegan
as being opposed to the soldiers bonuA
Major Deegan said.
mo such remarks have ever been
made by me. l am unqualifiedly In
favor of adjusted compensation of the
fivefold bill now being sponsored at
Washington by the American Legion.
In addition, l am firmly of the belief
that an extremely large majority of the
ex-service men I'm this state. both with
in and without the American Legion,
and In this country. are for adjusted
compensation

smoot to See Harding.

Senator Smoot intends to confer with
President Harding and may go to the
White House before Senator McCumber
is ready TO take up his measure with the
President. The Utah Senator intends
to point out to the President the "fal-
lacious arguments" being advanced in
support of the McCumber bill.
One OF the features of the McCumber
plan to which Senator Smoot objects is
a provision that the proposed insurance
certificates on which the ex-service men
may borrow so per cent. of the face
value from bank shall not be subject
to cancellation by the Secretary of the
! Treasury in case the holder defaults
payment of principal and interest, as
was provided in the House bill.
Senator McCumber is strongly backing
that provision and declares it Is another
evidence that the ex-service men will
find his plan provides more liberal
treatment" than did the House bill. He
says he intends TO confer with Com
mander MacNider OF the American
Legion and other representatives Of the
veterans over the measure when it is
completed. He will make any changes
in the plan they desire.
