Mentioned as a Candidate for pyesr-
dent Of the Cavalry Society of the
Armies of the United States.

The Boston Globe says:
"Brevet Mai Gen. Charles IL. Smith, who
commanded the celebrated 1st Maine Cayal-
ry during the war and is at present the.rank-
ing colonel of the United States army, now
with his command, the 10th United States
mentioned for the presidency of the Cavalry
Society of the Armies of the United States,
which organization holds its annual meeting
at Portland, Thursday. Gen. Smith is a
brilliant example of the American volunteer
soldier, and the fact that at the close of the
war he was at once appointed to a full col
onelcy In the regular army is an Endorsement
of the value the country placed upon his SER
vice in the field"
All our Maine cavalrymen will endorse
every word of this article from the Globe.
Maine is proud of Gen. Smith, and will be
delighted to see the honor conferred on him.
