DEPARTMENT CLAIMS
BRYAN CHANGED ATTITUDE


WASHINGTON, July 31.-Flat
contradiction of the charges made
in his attack on the defense test"
by Governor Bryan, of Nebraska
set for September IL was cotained
in a statement issued by the War
Department. Major General Dun
can, commanding the Seventh
Corps Area, which includes Me-
braska, reported on May 81 that
Governor Bryan had expressed his
desire to co-cperate to the fullest
extent"
1t was not until after the Gov
ernor had returned from the Demo-
cratic National Convention, which
named him the party's Vice Presi-
Dental candidate, that officials
found his attitude antagonistic.
The statement said:
"The statements of the Governor
of Nebraska indicate that he has.
drawn rather extraordinary infer
ences from what seems to be a GER
fectly clear document.
while it is desirable that all
prominent citizens openly support
the defense test, the action Of the
Governor in ordering the assembly
of the National Guard organizations
under his control on September ~,
and in appointing local committees,
will enable the departmet to carrvI
out. its plan in the state Of Ne
braska completely.

SPECIAL ELECTION FOR THE CHOICE
 OF BRANDEGEE,S SUCCESSOR DEC. I6

has not given the governor any power to appoint in the meantime. Since the resulting governmental gap ought not to be allowed to con- tinue and since the constitution con- templates prompt action 1t is my duty to issue an immediate call be- fore congress convenes December i. The law requires three weeks be- tween nomination and the election. The democratic and republican par ty rules as to nominations call for three or four weeks additional. While party rules are not controlling they represent established custom and public convenience. The earliest date which would permit town cau- cuses to be held a responsible time after the national election and so give convenient effect both to sta- ute and party rules, is Tuesday, De- cember 16. Even this date will de- prive our state of full representa- ton in the senate for two weeks of an important session. This I greatly regret but 1t appears to be inevita- ble. Accordingly I have called for December Is special election to fill the existing vacancy in the office of senator in congress for the remain der of the official term"
