HOPES FOR SUCCESS
Washington, To-day. After six and a half hours' steady flow of oratory for and against the Bonus Bill, the Sen- ate fulfilled expectations by sustaining the veto by a vote of 54 to 40. To override it a two-thirds majority would have been necessary.
President Roosevelt did not comment when he was informed of the vote, but gratification was expressed elsewhere in the White House.
Many famous Senators spoke in favour of overriding the veto. including Senators Borah. McAdoo and Long.
