Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 1S.-Members Of the
faculty Of the state university are con-
siderably exercised over a recent report
that appeared in the Chicago Record al
leging that canvass had been made of
the professors and instructors in all de-
partments of the university and that
they stood so for Mckinley and 42 for
Bryan. 1t is indignantly denied by I
members of the faculty and others who
are acquainted with their politics that I
any such number as this are for Bryan.
In fact, it would be impossible to find |
ten men among the faculties Of all the
schools in the university who are for
Bryan. There are some democrats, it is
true, but almost without exception they
are gold democrats and will not vote !
4 for Bryan. Among the universities re- |
ported on in this statement Iowa was
1.-THE highest In number and highest in
4 proportion OF men for Bryan. and this is
undoubtedly very far from the truth. It
lis resented by the members of the fac
|ulty and their friends and by the friends
4 of the university, who recognize that 1t
would be an injury to the university to
.lhave it understood that go many Bry-
antics were teaching there. No canvass
was made by the Chicago Record. 1t
was merely the guess of some unrelia-
4 BILE correspondent.
4 Now comes the Vidette-Reporter the
4 university paper, with a correct and au-
4 Ithorized statement in regard to the poll
\ tics of the instructional staff of the uni
& versity. careful canvass was made
by democratic student and the result
s, ,is stated as follows:
Every actual voter this fall has been
asked for which candidate he will vote
!. and his answer marked down. Those
who have not been in the state long
Eenough to acquire legal residence here.
and who will not return to their homes
q to vote have been excluded from this
list. No women are counted, as the Rec
