When He Has Been Wrong, He Has Been Clear Wrong; He Hasn’t “Trimmed” What The Star’s thoughts are as it scans over the record is a matter with which this series of articles will not deal. That has already been discussed editorially. The principal thing to bear in mind in reading the story is that it is a BIG story—the big story of a big man. Be- cause, friends and foes of the senator must agree on that one point—that he is, always has been and probably always will be, an outstanding man, regardless of how one views certain phases of his career. He has been consistently a big man thruout his two terms (Turn to Page 9, Column 3) Editorial “Magnificently Just” Editor The Star: Whoever wrote the editorial In The Star of Saturday captioned “Plain Truth,” wrote with a master hand, exactly that-—-PLAIN TRUTH.

Q VETO NOW WILL END BONUS BILL 4 Votes Lacking in Senate to Override Action BY KENNETH W. CLARK (Copyright, 1922, by United Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 28,— The bonus bill can be killed at this ses: sion of congress by a_ presidential veto, a poll of the senate today showed, Thirty-four senators will vote against the measure and three more now lined up for it will change their positions and vote to sustain an executive veto, This combined group of 37 senators is four more than is necessary to prevent the overriding of a veto by the required two-thirds | majority, even if all ‘senators were j voting. The vote on the bill, which may be taken tomorrow, will be 57 to 34, according to the poll, This figure may be changed by, absence from the city of some sena tora,
