Des Moines, Oct. 24.-The statement
having been made by Secretary of State
Dobson, in his speech at Newton. Iowa,
u few nights ago, that Col. Bryan re-
signed his commission in the Spanish
war after the regiment was ordered to
Cuba. it was denied veiemently by GER
tain democrats who challenged the truth
of the assertion. There was no question
in the minds of those who knew the his
tory of the events connected with the
s,udd len departure of the doughty colonel
from Nebraska from the front, as to
the truth of Mr.. Dobson's statement,
but in order to absolutely prove 1t and
furnish evidence that can not be contro-
verified, telegram was sent to Adj.
Gen. Corbin at Washington with res
quest for information on this point. The
following telegram in answer was re-
ceived al republican headquarters:
Washington, D. G., Oct. 23.-J. W..
Richards, Des Moines, Iowa-Replying
TO your telegram, Col. Bryan's resigna-
ton accepted Dec. - 1898. His regiment
/ belonged to Seventh corps. which wasI
directed by orders Nov. 4, 1895, to pre-
pare for movement to Cuba. His regi.
ment left Savannah for Cuba Dec, 30
and 81. Y
(signed) III. C. CORBIN,
.Adjutant General"
This proof is certainly incontroyerti-
bic. II is from the records of the war
department and shows that Col. Bryan's
Resignation wac accepted by the depart
| inent after the army corps to which HE
regiment belonged had been ordered to-
/ prepare TO, move ment to Cuba.
The Scandinavian Republican League
lof Iowa has issued the following to the
/ Scandinayian voters thru Svithiod:
The national election--on which eide
do you stand? 1t seems supertiuous to
lremind our Scandinavian republicans
not only to vote right themselves, but
/ to urge Indifferent voters to cast their
ballots for Mckinley, prosperity and
Roosevelt.
Seldom has the history Of the coun-
4 try % generally shown a prosperous
lcondition as during the last four years.
4 The protectivet ariff, with sound cur
sirency has led to an unexampled devel-
Iopment Of the resources of the country.
The republican party took charge of
4 affairs nearly four years ago, and has,
thru its administration. guided us from
economical decay3to condition Of real
4 prosperity. Issthis not worthy our seri-
5lous consideration?
Our farmers receive higher prices for
4 their products, our laborers better pay
j for their toll; prosperity and content
Iment are apparent on every hand: this
is the result Of wise statesmanlike
administration a exemplifed by the re-
publican party. 1t should not be neces-
saiy to defend the republican party.s
Eadlninistra tion or its principles to our
lclear- sighted Scandinavians.
