Hallowell's Quota
In Case of War
Set at 435 Men

In connection with the plan for
Defense Day test 1t may be of inter-
est to know that in event Of war
Hallowells quota in the plan worked
out for national defense would be in
all ABS men, able bodied, between the
ages of Is and As. Hallowell would
be- expected to furnish a headquar-
ters battery for the 606th regiment,
heavy field artillery reserve corps, Of
which Col. Winn is the head, also one
service battalion for the same regi-
ment and one headquarters company
for the 9th regiment. The battery
for the 606th would take 81 men, the
battalion 151 men and the head
quarters company, 1877. 1t Is hoped
that these might never be called In
to action, but such is Hallowelrs
quota. It is to be understood that
those volunteering for the test July
8 assume no obligation for further
service. AS the matter of defense
day concerns all Hallowell citizens.
it is hoped by the committee that
every man, woman and child who
can be present will do So Because It
is a community affair the bells will
be rung and the fire whistle blown
for five minutes from 6.55 p. M. to z
p. M. At Z p. M. the parade will
start from the central fire station.
At city hall the exercises will take
place. Rev. w. P. Bradford will give
the invocation, Mayor Tilden will
make the Introductory remarks and
Col. Winn will explain the purpose
and necessity of these tests. Every
body should turn out and every able
bodied man between the ages of IS
and As should be in line in the par
ade.

BROOKHART DENIES
 DISSENTING PARTY
Makes Reply to Iowa State Gen.
 tral Committee
By The Associated Presu.

By The Associated Prem.
 Des Moines, Iowa, March 24.-- Denying allegations that he deserted the republican party in last years campaign and obtained election to the United States senate ''by fraud and deceit" Senator Smith w. Brookhart today characterized the contest of his election brought by the the republican state central com- mittee. as dishonest and fraudu- lent conspiracy"
 The denial was made in the sena- tors reply to the committees pro- test recently filed with the senate. His answer was to be filed with the secretary of the senate, simul- taneously with its publication.
 Senator Brookhart declared he became a candidate for the senate as a republican and upon the his. toric principles of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt" that he announced his platform. and that the voters of Iowa nominated and elected him on a definite stand for
 
 these principles
 In his campaign. he declared, he urged the voters "to identify them- selves with the republican party. and continues to do so."
 The committees resolution of pro- test against the seating of Senator Rrookhart, the reply said, was without warrant of law and was prepared by B. B. Burnquist. chair man of the state central committee, and H. E. Spangler, a member of the committee. as a result of con- spiracy between them for the defeat ing of the law and for purposes of private gain and profit"
 The committee. the senator de- clared. authorized the employment of counsel in filing the protest and thereupon Burnquist proceeded to employ himself and Spangler for the purpose of collecting graft under the guise of attorneys fees"
