Bait Proved Worthless.
Impartial observers who have close
ly analyzed the results of the Con-
gressional elections agree that as a
political bait for votes the bonus
proved worthless. In almost every in
stance where II was intruded 1t proved
of little. If any, value one way or
the other.
In view Of the fact. however. that
the sordid element in the American
Legion made a concerted effort to de-
feat candidates for reelection who
voted against the bonus and to re-
elect those who had voted for il. il Is
Enthusiastically clear that the unor-
ganized taxpayers emphasized their
resentment against those candidates
who had voted to place heavier bur-
dens on their shoulders.
These considerations have weighed
heavily in the revival OF agitation in
favor of renewing the fight for the
bonus in the present and coming ses-
sons OF Congress. Senator'S and Rep
resentatives who became panic stricken
at the threats OF the bonus raiders In
the American Legion appear to be re-
covering from the frenzy of fear which
goaded them to obey the lash OF the
bonus promoters in the Legion.
OF course Mr.. Fordney. who has
probably caused the Republican party
more trouble and lost it a greater
number of votes than any other man
in the two houses with the exception
of Senator McCumber (Rep., N. d..
is again clamoring for the bonus. In
cidentally. Senator McCumber, who
was the daddy" of the bonus in the
Senate, could not even win re-
nomination with the. full power OF the
sordid element of the American Legion
lined up back of him.
