HOUSE PRACTICES FOOTBALL.
ON MASS OF DISTRICT BILLS
Practically All Important Measures Kicked
Around in Real Gridiron Style.

Members Of the House. who nave
little. IL any. solicitude for the
District, were given a chance to
indulge In their favorite pastime
yesterday and enjoyed the after
noon by moving to postpone or OBJ
jecting to all the important Dis
trict legislation appearing on the
unanimous consent calendar.
Representative William III. Staf-
ford. Wisconsin, got off to a good
start by objecting to the bill to
create board Of accountancy for
the District, and led the field during
the entire afternoon. He objected
to the bill to create parkway
system here and moved to pass
over to another day the bill to pre-
vent disease in Washington.
Explains His Reasons.
Explaining the reason for his OBJ
jections, Stafford pointed out that
the District had two days a month
to bring un its legislation and it
was apparent that an attempt was
being made to use the day allotted
to the unanimous consent calendar
for the District.
hcpTesentdtlNe tTeuTlCR y. ZhI-
man. a member of the House Dis
trict Committee. agreed that the
District was supposed to have two
days a month. but it had been COM
PEELED to give way to other legis-
lation. For this reason. it was ex-
planned. an attempt had been made
to get consideration in the only
other way open to the committee.
Representative Robert Z. Evans.
Nebraska, member OF the sub
committee In charge Of District ap-
propriations. suddenly realized that
he had not taken an active part
in the proceedings, so without Civ
ing reason he objected to the Com.
missioners' bill to close Piney
Branch road between Taylor and
sixteenth and Allison streets. rem
dered useless by the opening of
streets under the permanent high
way system.

Most of the days debate was taken
up by Simmons, who attacked tn.

Bonus Veto L. Expected.
President Harding, having convey
ed to the American Legion his dis
pleasure with the present soldier
bonus bill, may be expected to veto
1t promptly. And a poll Of the SEN
ate discloses just enough votes to
sustain the veto.
Administration leaders. after con-
ferring with the President at the
White House. predict he will send

gress. possibly today.
Anti bonus Senators now feel GER

ceived a telegram from Senator
Weller. just arrived in Los Angeles.
from a junket to Japan, asking that
he be paired as sustaining a veto.
his latest addition allows thirty
four votes to sustain, leaving sixty
two votes to override the veto
or one less vote than the necessary
two-thlrds majority.
Lineup On Bonus.
This calculation presupposes at
tendance Of the full complement OF
ninety-six Senators. 1t is based on
the roll call of August 81, when the
bonus passed the Senate. together
with an analysis OF pairs. Thus
the following Republicans and
Democrats. totaling thirty-four may
be counted on to sustain the veto:
Republicans-BaIl. Borah, Calder.
Dillingham;, Dupont, Edge. Ernst,
Fernald, France. Frelinghuysen,
Keyes, Moses, Nelson. New, New
BERRY, Page. Pepper. Phipps. Reed.
of Pennsylvania: Smoot. Sterling,
Wadsworth. Warren and Weller.
Democrats-Dial. Glass. King.
Meyers. owen. Shields, Swanson
Underwood and Williams and DOS
sibly Watson. of Georgia.
The House is expected to over
ride the veto, but IL the Senate
sustains it. that action would pre-
vent the bill from becoming law.
Based on Ideal Conditions.
While the unofficial poll is based
on ideal conditions. nevertheless,
snti-bonus Senators feel that a
proportionate number will be alb
sent from either side. or that those
absent will be paired. A two-thirds
majority of those Senators or Rep
resentatives present and voting Is
sufticient to sustain or override a
veto.
Although the precise content of
the Presidents veto message has
not been divulged to Senate lead
ers, nevertheless, II is expected to
point out that while the presen;
cost of the bonus would not be so
great. the eventual drain would be
enormous. Furthermore, il likely
would point out that the measure
contains no revenue raising provi-
sions.
Mr.. Harding is understood to have
expressed these sentiments to the
American Legion yesterday, when
a delegation of legionaires. headed
by Hanford B. MacNider. national
commander. waited on the ?resi-
dent urging him to act favorably.

Members of the House who have
kept in close touch with the trac-

favorably impressed by the Com

would bc the most acceptable bill of
its kind to come before Congress.
The fact that the bill compels a
merger of the street car companies
before the Potomac Electric Power
Company may be absorbed was con-
sidered to be a strong point in its
favor.

ments a second operation must be
resorted to which was performed and
hopes were again entertained for his

MUCH INTEREST IN.
COMING ELECTION
Mayor Savage Candidate for Re-
electiOn-McCarten and Cleary
for Aldermen

AS the time approaches for the fifth
annual city meeting on Tuesday
March 7th, the subject of next Mayor
and two new aldermen is receiving
much discussion. For Mayor the
name of E. w. Sagave for reelection
has been mentioned and is receiving
much favorable comment and no other
name has been considered for that
office. The electing of a Mayor for
one year only, is a good city ordin-
ance, and gives the voters an oppor-
tunity to change if the present incub-
ent has not done justice to the office.
1t also gives equal opportunity for
reelection if found worthy. Two
years ago, James T. Gardner was un-
animously elected for second term
and there was no regret. Many citi-
zens who have been in close touch
with the municipal affairs the past
year are thoroughly convinced that
Mr.. Savage has been valuable man
as Mayor and no mistake will be made
on his reelection for another term.
1t required much persuasion on the
part of many of Mr.. Savage's friends
to induce him to accept the office last
year. His attention to the business
of the railroads which he represents
is closely demanded, yet during the
past year he has grasped the bust
ness of the city in such keen cut
way that none of his duties have suf-
fered for lack of attention, and no
mistake will be made if he can be
secured for a second term. A good
motto for the city to adopt is to con-
tinue to seek men to fill it's inn
portant offices, that requires persua-
sion to induce them to accept and
keep an eye on the plum hunter and
honor seekers.
Two vacancies will appear on the
board of aldermen, that of Dean n.
Dwinell VINO is away and Henry Ber-
nard who was elected for one year.
Several names have been suggested
for these vacancies, the two most re-
Gently mentioned are J. E. McCarten
of the National Bank and Walter FL.
Cleary one of Viewpoints promising
young attorneys. Both of these men
have been approached by several
business men on the matter. The one
chief excuse for their hesitation is
business matters that demand their
attention, which should further in
crease the demand for their services.
Should they consent to offer. their SER
vices they would poll a large vote.
The Young Mems Voters club re-
Gently organized are presenting DR..
Henry Somers and John Prouty as
candidates for aldermen, and an in
teresting city meeting is assured.
