Special coaches from Birmingham arrived in Tuscaloosa Saturday morning at 10.45 o'clock and "old grads" from every corner of the state were welcomed at the Louisville and Nashville station by a host of Tus- caicosa enthusiasts and university authorities.
 Judge W. ". Brandon. governor designate of Alabama, spoke the words of welcome. to which Jelks H. Cabaniss of Birmingham, local campaign chairman, responded
 After number of selections by the Tuscaloosa band and several col- lege yells by the returned Alabama ites," there followed an automobile ride to the university campus. Then followed the convocation exercises.
 Dr. w O. Thompson president Of the Ohio State university, fired the first shot of the university milliop dollar campaign. when he said at the eonyeeatien exercises:
 We would have the legislators un- derstand that the demands made up- on the legislatures for funds are not made by the university Of Alabama but by the people of Alabama" He pointed out that every student at the university was there voluntarily. and
  that he should have the advantages that come to him through the medium of great state university.
 These students are here said Dr. Thompson, mot because the profes- sors have pulled them in. or not be- cause any law has brought them in. They are all here of their own will. It Is the people of the state who have created the need at their great university; it is the people of the state who must supply the remedy.
 pr. G. H. Denny, president of the university, presided at the convo- cation exercises in Morgan Hall and the meeting was one which rivaled the historic Sewanee pep meetings in it's enthusiasm and stirring ad- dresses.
 The keynote of the campaign was struck by Borden Burr of Birming- ham. state campaign ,chaiman, who declared:
 We are not putting up povery plea to the people of Alabama. We are ready and willing to give an account of the money that has been given the university. With it we have met our needs as best we could. Our plea Is for funds 10 meet an increasing need--a need brought about by the enormous expansion or the university in the past decade Ours is not a poverty plea of the present; it is plea for tomorrow, a plea for the youth of ten years hence The needs are pressing to- day but we must prepare for needs that will continue to increase every year"

 The Turks have bombarded the last departing Greek transports from the Chesme peninsula, despite the British appeal for mercy on the ground that the Greeks were helpless and no longer combatants. Mustapha Kemal Pasha now is supreme over all Of Anatolia, but has yet made no di- rect move toward Constantinople or the straits, and tho warnings which the allies have voiced throughout Europe and the Near East may have served their purpose.

OFF|C|A[ VETO
 WILL BE SENT ID
 HOUSE TUESDAY
Thirty-four Members Will 0p- pose Passing Measure Over Veto, Leaders of
 Senate Say
By Associated Press

Washington, September 16.--In- formation that President Harding had made up his mind definitely to veto the soldiers bonus bill reached the Senate leaders today from some of his close advisers. They said his message of disapproval would be sent to the House Tuesday.
 After receiving this word, the ma jority leaders made an informal pre- liminary canvass of the Senate which was said to have shown 34 votes against overriding a veto. or two more than the number necessary to prevent final enactment of the bonus legislation.
 This margin was understood, how ever, to be regarded by some friends of the President as too narrow and they expected Mir. Harding to call several senators to the White House before Tuesday for a discussion of the situation. With many senators absent from Washington, it was as serted by some that it was difficult to assess Senate sentiment at this time.
 Many Members Absent
 Many of the absentees, 1t was stated, could not possibly get back TO Washington in time to vote. Every effort will be made to pair absentees but it was explained that it might not be possible to pair all of them and it was conceded that the absence of pairs in even few cases might have a material effect on the outcome.
 MT. Harding's advisers expect him to set forth in vigorous manner his reasons for a veto. From the first he has insisted that bonus legisla- tion should carry a method of financ- ing it and he also has voiced disap- proval of piece meaP payments to the world war veterans, declaring that it would be better to postpone payment than to make 1t in such 8 manner.
 Should the bill be returned to the House, managers of 1t there planned to move promptly to pass 1t over the veto. The general belief was that far more than the necessary two-thirds majority could be obtained there.

A. J. MORGAN IN RACE
FOR REPRESENTATIVE

In this issue of the Telegram ap-
pears the formal announcement of the
candidacy of Hon. A. ]. Morgan for
the state legislature.
Mr.. Morgan needs no introduction
to the people of this community, as
he has made his home here since 1886,
practically all the time on his prop
erty southwest of town, where he is
engaged in the cattle industry on a
large scale.
Neither does Mr.. Morgan need an
introduction politically, as he has al
ready served two terms in the legis-
lature, having sat in the sessions of
1917 and 1921. He calls attention to
his record in the office and asks his
neighbors and friends to express their
appreciation and confidence by re-
turning him to Tallahassee.
Mr.. Morgan has many friends who
will work for his election.

INDUSTRIAL LOAN AND
SAVING, INC, TO MOVE
INTO DYCHES BUILDING

The Industrial Loan and Savings,
Inc, expects to move from the First
National Bank building into it's new
quarters in the Dyches building, May
LIST, having taken a long term lease
on the street floor room now occupied
by the Chamber of Commerce. The
contract for the marble work and
bronze grills has been awarded to
Stanford & Westman, of Tampa, spe-
cialists in bank fixtures. The stock of
the company is being rapidly taken by
local investors, and its board of d.
rectors, composed of local business
men, will shortly be announced.
This is the first industrial banking
institution in Polk county, and will be
great boon to the community in gen.
eral, but especially to wage earners
and salaried persons, in furnishing
borrowing facilities adapted to their
condition and requirements.
Although a new enterprise here, it
is interesting to note that the methods
OF the Industrial Loan and Savings
are not experimental. Industrial
banking has proven profitable and
successful in many hundred cities in
this country, and no such bank has
ever failed. In Europe, industrial
banking has been in successful ope-
ration Tor over $50 years. The first
bank of its kind was established in
Germany by Frederick the Great in
1863, to provide for the borrowing re-
quirements of farmers. Eighty years
ago, their operations were extended
to meet the requirements of non-prop-
erty owners. The commission which
President Taft sent to Europe in 1909
to investigate banking facilities, re-
ported that there were 1900 indus
trial banking institutions in Germany,
with over two million stockholders
and over S5,0OG000,OOO in outstanding
oans. 1t reported that the stock of
these institutions was quoted consid-
erably above government bonds, and
that in times OF war and famine, when
government bonds deprecated, the
stock of industrial banks showed little
if any, depreciation, remaining firm
and stable under the most adverse
conditions; and they further reported
that in their long period of operation
there was no record of failure of an
industrial bank.
