AN EYE ON NEXT CONGRESS
Official Washington 10 speeulating on
How Many Ex.sevlee Men VIII
Be Returned.

Official Washington Is wondering
how many ex-service men are to be
returned to congress at the election
next fall. Speculation Is rife, with the
bonus controversy at full tilt.
Veterans Of the World war already
have formidable strength In the house,
81 seats being occupied by former
service men, according to a canvass by
the American Legion. The senate has
two veterans-Senator Newberry Of
Michigan. and Senator Elklns Of West
Virginia. Twenty.one states are rep
resented by ex-service men in con-
gress. New York leading with four.
Massachusetts, and Tennessee being
second with three each.
Far-sighted persons have hazarded
the opinion that when the votes are
counted in November, II will be found
that the number Of ex-soldiers In the
house has been materially increased.
