GORE ATTACKS THE VETO.

Washington, July 15.—Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, chairman of the senate agricultural committee, in a speech today attacked the President’s veto of the agricultural appropriation bill because of the rider increasing to $2.40 a bushel the government minimum price guaranty for wheat. He said: “If the next house is Republican I predict or believe it will be due to his veto.”

Wisdom, justice and statesmen Ship prompted both senate and house to raise the price of wheat, declared the Oklahoma senator. He expressed the hope that .“no Democrat in congress would lose his seat because, the yeto was by a Democratic President,” and declared the farmer would meet the burden of feeding the world without profits. “Insofar as fine phrases or charming rhetoric can compensate the farmer for losses of $700,000,000 in 1918 that compensation is the farmer’s,’ he added. - >. Senator Gore’s speech was stopped by Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, who | presed a point that ! it was out of order under the senate rules for a recess.
