Brookhart and Herring Debate War Veterans Policy in Iowa
In Des Moines a Legion question asks Brookhart and Herring to state their views on veteran benefits and national issues. Brookhart cites WWI service and champions a larger bonus, enhanced war risk insurance, and opposition to ship subsidies while opposing Newberryism and other reforms. Herring portrays himself as anti socialism and the sole Iowa senator candidate without ties to socialist figures, endorsing adjusted compensation and tariff reform. Files argues for independent voter judgment on living issues and criticizes party stances on veterans' pay and subsidies.
