WHO will Be next
FEDERAL RESERVE HEAD

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25:-Inter-
est in appointments. always keen in
Washington, is centering around the
successor to w. p. G. Harding, gov
ernor of the Federal Reserve Board.
There has been a tremendous propa-
ganda for and against Governor
Harding. The failure of the Presi-
dent to send his nomination to the
senate for another term, although
the time has expired, is regarded as
a strong indication that he has de-
termined not to reappoint him. The
report today is that d. r. C~rissinger,
who was brought here from Ohio
and installed as comptroller of the
currency at the beginning of the
Harding regime, will be given the
important post now held by Cover
o Harding.
Eugene Meyer, Jr.. of New York,
now chairman of the War Finance
Corporation, is said to be slated for
Crissinger'S place as comptroller of
the currency. This will make a place
for Senator Porter j.. McCumber.
chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee, who was recently defeated IN
the North Dakota primaries after
twenty years in the senate.
McCumber Is rated as a farmer
and his appointment to the War
Finance Corporation will give the
agriculturals representation on that
body, for which they have been
working since the corporation has
had charge of financing the move
ment of livestock and crops in the
country at large.
There is another appointment to
BE made to the Federal Reserce
Board under authority for an addi-
tional place recently given by con-
gress. Edwin 7. Meredith of Iowa.
formerly Secretary of Agriculture in
the Wilcon cabinet, and who, fer a
time was a director of the Chicago
Federal Reserve Bank, is under
stood to be under consideration for
the additional Federal Reserve
| Board place, It was expected this
would so to a dirt" farmer. Mer-
edith is an advertising man and is
the proprietor of several farm pub
LEGATIONS and has a great following
among the farmers, which may in
sure him the appointment If he de-
sireS it.

SAY BONUS BILL
VETO ISLAND
Acid Test Shows Not Enough
Votes to Pass Measure
in Senate

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-A Pres
Idential veto of the bonus bill will
mean its final disposition for this
session of congress. All hope of
passing this legislation despite the
disapproval of Mr.. Harding was
abandoned today. 1t is admitted
that sufficient votes for that purpose
cannot be obtained.
An acid test poll of the senate was
taken late yesterday by Republican
leaders. They found themselves az
least one vote short of the num-
Der required for enactment despite
Presidential disapproval. This came
as a severe shock, because it had
been vigorously contended hat the
opposition erred in maintaining that
the bonus was beaten if the Presi-
dent vetoes the bill, as is expected
by it's antagonists.
The Borah-Underwood faction OPP
posing the bonus claim ~thirty-five
votes to sustain the Presidents veto.
This figure is not admitted by the
Republican leaders, but today they
say there is sufficient strength to
sustain the veto and nothing more is
necessary.
It is stated by McCumber and all
those closely affiliated with the bonus
legislation that nc actual intimation
has come from the President con
corning his purpose. They will not
predict what he nay do. but ex-
press the conviction that his approx
al will be given after all the facts
! have been laid before him.
/, The President has plainly told all
callers at the White House who in
| quircd regarding his attitude that
there has been no change, and he
cannot approve the McCumber bill
unless it carries the method of rails
ing to meet payments He
has declared at all times there has
been no abandonment of this atti-
tEde.

Air Full of GoSsi ID

Reports and counter reports con-
tradicting the others are flying
about so thick and fast in Demo-
cratic political circles IL is difficult
to know just how matters stand
until after the time limit for the
filing of petitions is up and the
something Definite will be known.
From the present outlook it will not
be until after Friday of next week
that county candidates are .snown,
while Tuesday should divulge the
name OF the congressional candi-
date.
Yesterday afternoon in New
Brunswick Judge" Cannon made a
statement which would indicate that
he had no intention of Withdrawing
from the race for state committee
man in which his opponent is
Thomas i. Hagerty. Last night,
however, in Perth Amboy there
were current reports that Barney"
had r~econsidered and finally decided
to drop out of the contest, leaving
II o'clock this morning comes an
other word from New Brunswick
that the county clerk is in the race
to the fnishs and thus the political
see-saw continues to work, public
opinion having as a certain candi-
date one minute a maj who n little
later is reported to have dropped
out in favor of another.
The Democratic congressional
situation is not unlike the Cannon
Hagerty case in one way yet in an
other it is entirely different. In the
state committeeman race both men
have announced themselves for
office. In the case Of the congress
sional nomination, however, no can
didate has announced himself RS
such although the names of two
men are mentioned extensively and
rumors have it different each day as
to which will drop out in favor of
the other. Elmer II. Geran, Of
Matawan, and DR.. William Il. Ram
say. of this city, are the two men
whose names have been mentioned.
Neither will admit he is out for the
nomination nor will either one deny
it.
Tonight the City Democratic Club
will meet in its club rooms here and
it is possible hat some important
announcement will be made at this
time which will have considerable
bearing upon the primary race.
Indications at present are that
John *. Sheehy. president of the
school board, VIII be the unOppoSed
candidate on the Democratic ticket
for mayor. John j. Kelly, president
of the club, has been looked upon
as a possible candidate for mayor,
but it is understood now that he
has definitely decided not to OPP
pose Mr.. Sheehy although there is a
possibility that he will oe candidate
for freebooter.
Much depends upon Mr.. kelly's
decision. If he does not enter the
race for the freeholder nomination
it is probable that Philip Costello.
of this city. will seek this honor. 1t
is known that Mr.. Costello's friends
feel that he can win and he is be-
ing urged from many quarters to
throw his hat into the ring.
Following the announcement Of
Joseph Maloney that he would be a
candidate for the nomination for
alderman in the fifth ward, friends
of William II; lahan are urging him
to make official announcement of
his entry for the nomination of re-
corder. There seems to be nc oppo-
sition to Hallahan's candidacy, and
a strenuous campaign will be waged
in his behalf as soon as Hallahan
gives the word.
