BREWSTER OPENS CAMPAIGN.
Promises to Amend Interstate Com
merce Law in Favor of Stock Ship


pers.
Bloomfield, Oct. 1O.-sanford A..
Brewster, of Ottumwa, democratic cam
didate for congress in the Sixth district,
formally opened his speech making
campaign here last week. He kept the
promise which he made before he
challenged Major Lacey to joint debate
to make capital out of it whether he
accepted or declined. The first four
columns of his speech We're devoted to
the correspondence between commit
tees and later between candidates, as
to the Joint debates which he had pro-
posed.
He made the declaration that the
democrats are harmonious, that the
leaders are working together and the
rank and file should, and that he was
satisfied with the st. Louis ticket. He
reiterated the usual democratic argu-
ments against the trusts, against the
tariff and against imperialism. He OBJ
iected to the standing army. and
thought the republicans We're not Civ
ing labor it's just due. He promised to
vote for the amendment to the inter-
state commerce commission law, which
he said was being urged by Henry
wallace and others, who, while criticiz-
ing Dolliver and Hepburn, should also
criticize Lacey.

entries were filed before June, 1874, the
veteran is entitled to enter upon the
balance Of his homestead, wherever
he may find government land, Or he
may assign his claim to anyone he
pleases.
Script brokers have taken advantage
of the law to secure fraudulent assign
mepts, which they in turn sold. The
frauds are extensive and old soldiers
in all parts of Iowa are involved, al
though they may have been innocent
parties to the fraud perpetrated upon
the government by the script brokers.
The scheme by which the govern
ment has been defrauded out of thou
sands of acres of land is simple The
agents of these men by examining the
records found that homesteads had
been partially entered by men of Ger
tain names The old soldiers records
were then examined until a veteran
with the same name was found. He
was approached to sell or assign his
additional soldiers right, although he
probably had not made the original
entry, but simply happened to have a
name similar to that Of the real ap-
plicant.
Often the soldier was induced to be-
lieve that the records showed him to
have made the entry, when he had no
knowledge of it, and for small con-
sideration he assigned over what he
believed was his right. The fact that
many of the soldiers were old and
feeble helped the frauds in their work.
Comparison Of the signatures on the
assignments and with the original en-
try led to the discovery that extensive
frauds had been perpetrated. The
signatures showed that forgeries had
been committed.
The discoveries showed also that
many Iowa soldiers had so assigned
away their rights. Burtis has been
sent here to investigate and arrests
will probably follow when the guilty
parties are located.
A few years ago dozens of men in
Colorado and Arkansas were implcat-
ed in similar frauds. They are now
serving terms in prison.

DENNIsoN DECISION OCT. "a.
Supreme Court of Nebraska Will Pass
on the Case Oct. 24EAnother APP


Des Moines, Oct 1o-United States
Marshal George Christian is awaiting
October "a, when the Nebraska SUI
preme court will act on the appeal in
the Tom Dennison extradition case. He
believes that the supreme court VIII
sustain the lower courts However,
he has been informed that it Is Den
nison's intention to appeal the case to
the United States circuit court of APP
peals as he has the right to do. In this
case, Marshal Christian has arranged
that the hearing in the superior court
will be prior to January /. This Will
enable him to get Dennison into Iowa
for hearing at the January term OF
court at Logan. This is the way he
has it mapped out as he feels certain
that Dennison cannot prevent his eX-
tradition to Iowa.
Just why Dennison is fighting the ex-
tradition so hard, Marshal Christian
is unable to ascertain. 1t is his op1n-
ion that Dennison has some other
scheme on foot and is simply playing
for time to allow it to mature.
