Governor Harding to Ask Deferred
Classification For All Members.

Des Moines, Oct. 5.-Governor W.
L. Harding today issued an order to
all district and local board members
and government appeal agents in
Iowa who registered Sept. II and to
whom questionnaires have been sent,
TO report this fact to him at once. The
governor announces that he proposes
TO take advantage of section II of the
selective service regulations and the
provost marshal generals instruct
ions and file certificates with local
boards that will insure deferred
classification for these draft officials,
whether they ask for it or not. The
administration of the draft work is
particularly heavy at this time and
promises to continue heavy and the
sending of draft officials to war would
badly cripple the machinery in Iowa

record in the past.
