:. Elmer Thomas, former state SEN
ator, who was in the city Wednesday,
said, commenting upon the present
situation regarding the soldiers bonus
question.
THE president and Mr. Mellon with
the big interests have decided that
they cant finance the bonus, that
they can't raise the money. Now
this is purely political, if they would
issue the bonds and sell them, which
they could do, they could pay the
soldier bonus without any trouble
The interests, of course, are opposed
10 the bonus for the reason that the
tax, necessary for the fund. viii fall
on them most heavily
However" Mr.. Thomas contued
"the war was begun by the demo
/ cratic administration, IL was fought
! by a democratic administration and II
was won during a democratic admin
istration, so really you might call II
a democratic war so the interests
Of the soldiers will be given first con
sideration when the democrats are il
control again and unless the presen
administration gives consideration L
the cx-service man, the republicans
will lose their support and it vii
only be another element to increas
the democratic vote this fall
Mr.. Thomas went into the stat
senate with statehood, serving con
tinuously 1S years, until 1920. Will
he has made no formal announcement
he will run for congress at the mex
election, he said. lie was defeate
by the republican nominee in the las
election, being swept over by the ovei
whelming republican majority in tn
state.
