Senators who attached unwarranted
importance to the political influence
OF the American Legion officials
which results Of record primaries
prove to be a glaring fallacy
Mr.. McCumber and other Senator's
who have worked themselves into a
high state of excitement over the po-
litical influence OF the organization
created for non-partisan and purely
patriotic purposes, are going ahead
with their scheme to put through a
bonus bill. They will make their try
with the Fordney- Mondeu measure,
which the President has indicated he
will not accept, but which Mr.. Nc
Cumber has adopted in large part as
the basis for the bill which carries
his name.
That measure will be formally re-
ported to the Senate on Monday with
what are intended TO be "solemr
ceremonies" warranted only by a
declaration Of war or the re-estab-
lishment of peace through Congress
sional action.
Officials OF the American Legion
are going to make the event a
Solemn ceremony" When the
movie machines have been properly
placed. a band and valiant escort Of
bonus seekers will escort Mr.. Nc
Cumber and his bill from the
- fhn
Senate Chamber. Movie rights will
be granted free gratis" 10 Mr.. Nc
Cumber and other bonus Senators
for use in their primary contests in
their respective states.
After the Solemn ceremony"
has been completed Mr. McCum-
bers bill will be before the Senate.
He undoubtedly will attempt TO
have It considered at once either
by unanimous consent or a motion
to displace the tariff measure. 1t
IS OF Incidental interest that the
President today caused II TO be
known that he does not favor the
withdrawal OF the tariff for any
purpose, but is OF the opinion that
Congress should pass the measure
at the present session.
Motion Certain of Defeat.
ANY move made by Mr.. McCum-
her and his bonus associates 10 pro-
gress their bill Is certain to be de-
feated. II is not improbable that
the test over the motion to bring up
the $4,000 900 900 bonus raid will
Indicate the actual lineup of Sena-
tors because quite a number in both
parties still adhere to a neutral po-
siton regarding It.
Senators opposed TO the whole
scheme OF giving cash 20 able bodied
sx-service men until their physical !
capacity is impaired by the passing /
years, will see 10 It that any move /

Senator McCumber and his asso-
.iates have become convinced that
he opposition 70 the bonus will be
most aggressive. More than thirty

Z a bonus bill comes to a vote and is
,assed It will be many days hence,
nd is then certain OF chilly recep-
ion at the White House.
Bonus supporters coincide to
arge extent in the opinion that the
'ordney- -McCumber bill will be re-
ected by the President. They are
rot nearly so much concerned over
his phase Of the matter as theyI
hould be. The only thing they
want Is an opportunity to prove to
,onus claimants among the ex-ser-
ice men that they voted for II and
ire therefore entitled TO the Soldier
vote" in the Congressional elections.
No Prospect of Early Vote.
Their efforts to win the consent
u the opposition to immediate CON
,ideration OF the bonus scheme is
oredicated solely on these grounds.
They have been brought TO realize
