Resolutions Of Respect.

Whereas. Victor Grange has again
heard an alarm at the gate, and the
unbidden messenger has entered and
taken one of our charter members
from our fraternal Chair, "A Golden
Link" which can never be restored:
Resolved, that in the death of Sister
Helen NJ. Bowman, this Grange has
lost a worthy member, who was low
ing, and kind to all, and we shall ever
cherish her memory as a noble heart
ed sister, who was ever ready with
her council, and help.
Resolved, that we extend our SYM
pathy to Brother Bowman, feeling
that while our words are weak and
of little comfort, yet we would i'm
press upon him that we sorrow with
him in his affliction.
Resolved, that these resolutions be
placed on our Grange records, a copy
sent to Brother o. A. Bowman; also
a copy sent to the Independent
Reporter for publication and that
our charter be draped for thirty
days.

NOT A PARTY QUESTION
TO Be VOTED ON
Indications Good for Large Majority
"N0 Vote" Through Somerset COun-
ty.

Every day that passes shows the
best indications for large majority
for the retention of the Prohibitory
law at the polls next Monday. Every
body in town is aroused over the is
sue. The workers for the Prohibition
cause are receiving the best Of en-
couragement on the principal streets
of the town. Nearly every house has
vote No" card in the window and
the committee reported Tuesday that
on one of the principal streets there
were only three people who objected
to having the cards in the windows
but In at least two of these places the
people said they should vote No. AS
far as Is known there Is only one
business man that has said he Is go
ing to vote Yes" He Is druggist.
His reasons are personal. He is a
member of the Non-Partisan Self
Government League and 1t Is under
stood that he and another citizen of
the town are soliciting through the
towns in this county arguing for the
abrogation of the law.
1t is easily seen in Skowhegan that
this is not party issue and both
Democrats and Republicans are de-
claring themselves strongly on the
mo" side. There are number Of
people however who believe this is a
party issue and in distributing the
Vote No cards the committee found
that there were a number of people
who did not want to put the cards in
the window because they considered
It party issue. This was shown in
one case at least by Democrat who
thought this was a Republican issue,
but as soon as his neighbor Demo-
crat, put a card in his window this
first Democrat was willing to do like
wise. There Is little doubt but that
Somerset county will go at least 1000
majority on the mo" side and If the
cities show the same attitude that
Somerset county is showing the State
will go for the retention of the law
by at least vote of 10000 majority.

The majority of 44,2S3 which was
cast in favor of the prohibitory
amendment in 1894, would give the
supporters of Names famous law
quite a margin against possible de-
feat under ordinary circumstances
But the circumstances are by nc
means ordinary. The No majority
will have to be big to settle the ques-
ton, and the bigger 1t is the more
permanent that settlement will be. A
small No majority will simply en-
courage the liquor interests to keep
the contest going.
