Series 21977

DESCRIPTION: This series contains four newspapers. It holds two Republican Plates, furnished by the Republican Committee; the first American paper in Manila, Philippines, The American Soldier (1898); and a clipping from Freedom (1899), also from Manila, honoring the dead of the Eighth Army Corps who served in the Spanish-American War. Governor Mabey enlisted as a private in the Utah National Guard at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War and was later cited for gallantry. These newspapers document his obvious interest in the war and the happenings of the Republican Party.

ARRANGEMENT: This series is alphabetical by newspaper name. However, filming was done out of order with Freedom preceding American Soldier.

PROCESSING NOTE: This series is scheduled following the Utah State General Retention Schedule. The series will be microfilmed because of the poor condition of the papers and the difficultly presented in preserving them . This series was processed by Wendy Checketts in 1999 and updated following filming in 2002.
