12 SAYS . 0.P. LAWS | ' DED VETERANS Dr. Morganston Answers | Charge of “Trickery” by | Wood in Call on Hcover. Citing the record of the Republican | edministration in behalf of ex-soldiers, | Dr. Chagles E. Morganston, president of | the War® Veterans' Republican Club. in & statement issued today denied that | the Republican party has resorted to| “chicanery, ineptitude and trickery as | a means of enlisting ‘the vote of the | veteran in the present campaign.” The | statement was in answer to a charge made yesterday by Richard Seclye Jones, District chairman of the vet- | erans’ organizations of the Democratic | national committee and chairman of the District Federation of Smith-Rob- | inson Clubs. | Specifically, Mr. Jones charged that | Harlan Wood, department commander | of ‘he American Legion, was “tricked” inio “the embarrassing and false p: tion of calling upon Hoover as a loyal Supporter,” when, as a matter of fact, | *h2 is not for Hoover.” Mr. Wood, in a letter replying to one from Mr. Jones, said: “The best interests of the country and the welfare of all veterans as I sce them will dictate my vote.” Cites Vetcrans Policy. I‘ “In the light of past achicvements” | declared Dr. Morganston today, “the | Republican party aoes not have to em- | loy policies of trickery or deception to 0id the vote of the vetcran.” Referring to the attitude of the Republican party toward war veterans. | Dr. Morganston said: 1 “The record of the Republican ad- | ministration and its activitics during th: past seven and one-half years in | behaif of the ex-soldier is clear and is | weil understood and appreciated by th> | erans, as the pledges made by the | Republican party to the Nation's de- ! fenders ever since its first national | eonvention in 1863 to the present da bave been more than fuliilled. Th ex-soldier knows that under Republican acministrations the stupendous sum of hearly $4,000,000,000 has been appro- riated in behalf of the veterans of the Vorld War, and approximately $12,000,- goo.oou has been appropriated and ex- ended by the Federal Government for the relicf of all of our soldiers, and that #side from the interest payments on | th> public debt, th2 appropriations for | th> United States Veterans’ Bureau. | Which is a creation of the Republican | Rdministration, constitutes the largest Single item of Federal expenditures. “Our veterans have not forgotten the treatment administered by Democratic dfficials to them from the time of the ‘mistice to 1921, when the Repub- icans came into control, when nearly 1 of the 4,500,000 soldiers who had ken out war risk insurance some time &'lur to the armistice had dropped | eir insurance because of the incoms | tent and indifferent manner in which eir claims had been handled under Democratic administration, and thar pn December 1, 1920, there were only 212,152 insurance policies in effect. “They will also recall the campaign launched by the Veterans' Bureau in bducating and acquainting the ex- tervice men with their rights and privi- 'ges as to jpsurance, compensation and ospitalization, and the enactment at various times of supplemental legisla- tion by a Republican Congress favor- ble to the veterans for the renewsl and instatement of their policies of in- surance, and that by this co-operation, teinstatement aggreated $2,893,000,000 bs of June 30, 1927. They also know that the Federal Government is ex- pending $12,800,000 each month in the payment of disability compensation tlaims. and that up to date over $1,000,- 000,000 has been expended for such benefits. “Over 128,000 ex-service men have pompleted vocational education and training and are now engaged in lucra- live employment, due to a lieral Re- publican administration toward our veterans. 7 Delayed Bonus. “They will also recall the Democratic flibuster during the closing days of the Bixty-eighth Congrcss, which prevented the passage of appropriations for carry- Ing out the provisions of the bonus act, and that President Coolidge authorized the use of existing appropriations in order that all the benefits of the bonus #ct might be enjoyed without delay, and that under the provisions of the act passed and amended, there have been judicated over 3,000,000 claims mounting to $3,300,000,000. They will also remember the prefer- ence accorded them by the addition of 5 and 10 points to their grade in taking examination for appointment in the Civil Service, with the result that 55 cr cent of all the male employes now in the Veterans’ Bureau are ex-service men. “These constructive pieces of legis lation along with many others, in half of the ex-soldier have not been for tten and will forever be appreciated y our veterans, and nothing that Mr. Jones might say or attempt to do, will undermine or lesson the appreciation of our boys for this interest. Mr. Jones does not speak, nor is he the mouth- piece for our veterans. When they cast their vote in November, it will be for a continuance of the Republican poli- cies of government under the leader- ship of Mr. Herbert Hoover.” YOUNG FOLK MAY VOTE IF 21 BY NOVEMBER 7 “ounsel Points Out Thut Those Roueding Age Day After Elec-. tion Are Eligible. By the Assov.ited Press. What part c.7.be played in the elec- tion by the thousands who will reach their twenty-first birthday on Novem- ber 7, one day after the balloting? James Francis Burke, general counsel of the Republican national committee, advised them today that they could vote on November 6, provided they had complied with other qualifications. “While election day is November 6, all persons whose twenty-first anniver- sary occurs on November 7 actually be- come 21 years of age under the law on November 6, and, other qualifications being complied with, they will be en« titled to vote one day in advance of iheir twenty-first birthday,” Burke said.
