Another factor that Is causing the Morrison followers to be? more wor ried than usual, is the manner in which recent developments have seem ed to play into the hands of two of his opponents, Reynolds and Grist with regard to the immediate pay ment of bonus compensation to war veterans. Morrison has been silent on this matter so far, while both Rey nols and Grist havt been demanding Immediate payment of this compen sation to the veterans by the govern ment. The recent upheaval in the ranks of the veterans all over the country, demanding payment of the bonus now. will likely rebound more to the benefit of Grist, who is a war veteran, and Reynolds, who has been advocating this move, than to Mor rison. many are inclined to believe. “With these other three or four candidates going up and down the State every day and every night, at (Continued on Page Two.)

"No." exclaimed the Prairie State lawmaker. "Almost every private business, in dustry and corporation," Senator Glenn asserted, "expanded Its plant increased its payroll and placed its executives upon extremely high sala ries, expecting the flow of gold to continue forever and ever and and ever. "Now they cry out the loudest, con demning the government for extrava gance at a time when they were at their own peak of extravagance and folly. "It is hardly fair.” The question whether it is fair or probably will dot particularly Interest the average victim of the depression.
