Des Moines. Aug. 31.--Col. James
Rush Lincoln has been assured the
unanimous vote Of the Fifty-fifth regi-
ment now at Camp Croker for re-
election to the colonelcy of the regi-
ment next March. This is signal
compliment to the colonel, but the men
and officers Of the Fifty fifth are OF the
conviction nothing is too good for him.
The tender of the regiment support
came thru a meeting of the officers
yesterday. There will be no other cam
lidates. There was a general feeling
that the regiment wanted General Lin
coln to accept a reelection. Asked II
he would accept, he said he would be
pleased to serve the regiment. pro-
vided he was the unanimous choice and
there would be no other candidate.
Bennett Is Not Candidate.
Lieutenant Colonel Bennett was one
Of the most prominent candidates for
the place. Il will under no circum-
stances be candidate for the colonies
" IL General Lincoln can be prevailed

The officers held a meeting and the
esult is the open field for General
lincoln in the regimental election next
March. General Lincoln will be the
,nly candidate and there will be no
dissenting vote. So far as the chief

here will be no politics this year, as
I is probable that Lieutenant-Colonel
BENNETT will be elected to succeed HIM
self.
