Representatives of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Am- erican Legion, and Spanish-Ameri- can Legion, and Spanish-American War Veterans in the three counties were present and laid the founda- tion for organization in their re- spective areas. Bauman, who is a personal ac- quaintance of Van Zendt, stated it is a matter of public record that Jimmy openly declared a couple years ago that “the Congressmen who have been backing the veter- ans’ programs and the administra- tion bills in behalf of the veterans should always be returned to Con- gress.” And now.” sald Bauman, "Jimmy Is urging us to send him to Con- gress 50 he can replace a seasoned Congressman whose veterans’ recs ord Is perfect. 1 ask you, what good would Van Zandt be in Washington to this district. with our national administration solidly Democratic whether reactionaries like it or not And it’s going to stay that way for two more years whether Jimmy or anybody clse likes it because the administration term is but half compieted.” Secretary of the Democratic Vet. erans Division, Silas Ginsberg, was another featured speaker. He said The Administration at Harrisburg and at Washington have given the veterans everything our organiza- tons have asked for. Just enumer- ate a few of these accomplishments, Veterans Pensions, the Bonus Bill, additional veterans’ credit for Civil Service examinations, preferefice and additional credit for employ- ment, everything Jimmy Van Zandt | Is going around the district beljt- tiing and telling the veterans every- thing that is anything but cotrect “He would probably do the things James would do—-burn all the Dem- ocratic legislation. 1 urge you-—soi- | idify your organizations and send Gingery back to Congress because he has been one hundred per cent right. on every yeterans’ bill, eon every Labor bill, on everything that the people want. The only time he opposed the president was on the Bonus bill, and he did that because he was with the veterans.” The addresses were delivered fol- lowing a bounteous feast prepared | (Continued on page six) 5 Sentenced At Special Court Here State College Man, With Pre- vious Record, Goes to Prison For Thefts DRUNKEN DRIVER GETS 60-DAY JAIL TERM Help Unique Alibis Fail to Two Defendants; One Fined $100; Other Jailed Dukeman a ock from the basement of the Har.
