amounts of the bids.
Regret the misunderstanding


THAT we declare our sympathy with
the purposes OF the lewiston Clarks-
ton club, as we understand them; but
we regret that our own attitude to-
wards this movement should have been
misunderstood and consequently mis-
represented; we do not believe that the
Misrepresentation as to the mayor
and council have been Intentional; but
we feel that neither the property of
the community, nor the ends of good
government, are advanced by such
Misrepresentation, whether made in
tentionally or inadvertently; that we
do not believe that the leaders of this
organization, having a proper sense
of their responsibilities TO the public,
can afford to, or will, jeopardize the
interests of the movement which they
represent by doing wilful injustice to
any element or portion of the COM
munity; and that we feel confident
that these matters will be promptly
corrected when brough to the atten-
ton OF the club.
What Prompted Resolution.
"That we are prompted to this act
ion by the fact that serious misconcep-
tons are likely to arise from the re-
petition Of Incidents of this kind, and
by the feeling that 1t is our duty to
the citizens of Lewiston, when our act
ion, as officers Of the city, is criticized
by a responsible element of the COM
munity, to place the facts upon which
such criticism is based before the
public for their judgment"
