v
The industrious circulation of the falsehood that President Taft threatened
veto of the Sulloway bill was one of the chief plays of his opponents and
worked some injury to his popularity, as his adversaries had planned. That
there Was no truth in this every senator, representative and other public man.
could have known it'he cared to inquire. “Yet it was a good enough Morgan
till' after the nomination." ‘
. 'Now these same men are with equal industry and untruth circulating the
- report that President Taft signed the act of May 11 most unwillingly and was
? only coerced into it at the last moment. Nothing could be more untrue.
” There had been an overwhelming popular demand for additional pension
legislation. The people were most earnest in their wish that the veterans who
all savedthe nation should be properly cared for during the years that re-
’ bed to them. The national encampment of the Grand Army of the Re-
ply lie had asked for such legislation. The remarkable fact of the Indorsemeni
of the Sulloyvay bill by the legislatures of twenty-seven states was an
nishlng deve‘lopmgptwof depth and wide extended feeling on the subject.
,, Geometry-president be expected to disregard such a manifestation? Cer-
uly not William H. 'l‘aft, whose great heart has always appreciated the
ice of the veterans and who has ever been quickly responsive to the
popular will.
" No one doubted at the beginning of congress that he intended to approve a
union bill. This knowledge had to be used with the utmost discretion.how~
ever.” The presidential campaign was opening. There was a general expecta-
Qlohdhat the Democrats would make a strong effort. to "put the president and
“ill senate in a hole” on the pension question. The fear was not alloyed until
._ in a few days of the passage of the act of May 11. This requirpd the
greatest circumspectlon on the part of the president and his friends. 1th as
ooh-as the actor May 11 began to take shape in the senate and months he.
‘re it actually passed there was no real doubt that the president would sign
the-bill which would be finally formulated.
At the invitation of senators l was a constant visitor to the capitol while
Kills bill was going through its various stages. 1 was also made a means of
communication with the members of the invalid pensions,committee of the
puss. With me went most frequently Past Commander In Chief John R.
King. less frequently Past Commander Slaybaugh of Potomac. Commander
10. is. Godfrey. Arizona; Commander Granville (1. Picks. Massachusetts; Com~
mander N. H. Kingman. South Dakota; Commander N. l". Kingsley, Pennsyl-
. :vsnia, and other prominent comrades who happened to be in the city and
f‘T'whom the senators wanted to see and counsel with.
We met Senators Crane. McCumber, (lurils. Smoot, ilurnham and others of
y: ‘ihe‘president's closest friends and advisers. They were confident in their us-
‘ 'Iurances that the president would sign the hill. The comrades named felt no
9doubt of the result at least two months before the bill was signed.
As we all know. President ’l‘ait put himself to great personal inconvenience
in order to sign the bill and let it begin at once its lmneiiccncc to the veterans.
C’l'he bill was not ready for his signature when he left for Princeton. N. J. l-le
