"That's a Secret"

President Hoover is prepared to lose a million or so votes by his stand against immediate cashing of the Soldier Bonus (and his sour remarks about the B. E. F.). For weeks his managers have been loudly demanding that the Democratic national ticket also declare itself on the Bonus in the hope of thus eliminating it as a campaign issue. Last week in Manhattan Vice Presidential Nominee Garner announced:

"I've made no statement on the bonus and I don't intend to make any."

Governor Roosevelt continued to keep the country guessing as to his position. The Republican Press, swearing that the Bonus could not be straddled, flayed his silence as cowardly evasion. When newshawks on his special train asked him bluntly where he stood or when he would speak out one way or the other, the Democratic nominee waggled a playful finger at them and smilingly replied: "That's a secret."
