The vote in the House was 25S to
"a, or so more than the required mum
ber Congressman Dale voted to
override the veto and Congressman

gress, which will begin on December
!.
The House vote on the first pass.
age of the bonus last March 23 was
1913 to 70, or AS to /, as compared

which the measure was first passed
on August 81.
Most of the House votes to sustain
the president were cast by members
from eastern and southern states,
with western delegations voting al
most solidly for the bill.
There were two changes in the
Senate, Senator Cameron, republican
Arizona, who voted for the bonus orr
ginally, voted = sustain the veto,
while Senator Mckinley, republican.
Illinois, who, 1t was announced, was
favorable to the bill on the first vote,
was paired against it.
There was only brief consideration
Of the measure in the House. n call
ing up the BILL Mr., Mondell said it
had been considered for a long time
and that further debate was not like
ly to change a single vote and was
unnecessary. Mr. Garrett asked that
there be an hours discussion, but af.
ter cries of vote, vote from the re-
publican side, the majority leader
moved the previous question and the
roll call was ordered.
