Colonel Harrison Demands Public Inquiry On Dismissal
Colonel Harrison who was dismissed from the army after his father the late ex president opposed McKinley policy seeks a public, impartial inquiry into his firing. Friends push for investigation while Secretary Root resists a court of inquiry, fueling belief the move stems from paternal opposition to policy toward new possessions and the South African republics. The Harrison name is historic in American government and war, with two members having been elected to high offices. The public will likely back him in demanding answers to his alleged dismissal for lack of tact versus executive offense.
