"DRAWN BATTLE"
Says Congressman Kinds Speaking OF
Maine Election.

Lewiston, Me-. Sept. 12.-Congress-
man Kinds of the first district was in
Lewiston Tuesday morning and gave
to the Lewiston Journal the following
statement:
While the early returns indicate
that the people have voted in favor Oh
taking the prohibitory amendment from
the constitution the margin seems TO
be so narrow as TO show really a
drawn battle. and demonstrate that
there is not the pronounced sentiment
against prohibition which many have
supposed to exist. l voted no at the
election, but endeavored to approach
the question with as little of partisan
prejudice as possible. Many other
Republicans did the same, and also
many Democrats, as we all know. we
also know that many voted yes be-
cause they favored taking the amend
ment from the constitution. but with
out proposing the further step of a
license law.
Under these circumstances, which
fair minded men must eencede, II
seems to me that il would be mis-
take fer the Legislature, elected last
fall, tc attempt to deal with this
question. 4 great variety of issues
and reasons were at the front when
that Legislature was elected. State
finances. and high cost of living Zig
ured in that election extensively. and
prohibition was almost unheard of in
many portions of the state. We all
desire that the laws of the State shall
EXPRESS the unbiased will of the peo-
PIE. but we also know that a long
established system is not changed
wisely except on n pronounced express
sion u public opinion. The Vote Of
Monday does not, apparently, give such
a pronounced expression. The exist
ing Legislature certainly does not"

A Memorial to
The 18th Maine

Alfred King of Arlington, y. j.. who
with Augustus Young of Auburn. Cy-
rus I. Wardwell of oxford and others
have been working for the erection of
a monument and tablet in Lincoln
park in Portland, is making fine prog
ress in the work. IL will be remember
ed that Mr. King presented bronze
tablet with Lineoln's address To the
Carnegie library at Auburn. The prop
osition is to do the same by Portland,
only this time it will be in the form
of n memorial to the 18th Maine Regi-
ment of which these gentlemen We're
members. The proposition is TO place
the tablet in n granite monument or
base which will he furnished by Com
rade Wardwell of oxford. 4 letter has
recently been received by Mr.. Young
from Mr. King in which he says in
part:
Il am glad to find that YOU think
that things look encouraging in regard
To the Wardwell proposition TO fur
nish boulder from oxford for the
tablet in remembrance of the old regi-
ment and the association that bears
it's name. l have always felt that the
l
done an excellent service in keeping
alive the spirit which made it the
grand organization that the original
members made it, and as il is to this
time recognized.
my notion in regard TO placing a
tablet bearing Lincolns address at
Getty sburg in Portland dincoln Park
| is to extend remembrance of the reg
iment to the future in the best light
possible and if we succeed in getting
the bronze tablet and boulder placed
| as we talked. it will be a continued
reminder to the future of the taste and
patriotism of the organization that
western Maine delights to honor as de-
tenders of the Union from the Pine
Tree State. In thinking this moven>en mt
on the part of Co. X. or the proRsi
ton to do something of CONSPICUOUS
and permanent character it seems
passing strange that the Portland
survivors of the regiment did not move
old Adjutant Roberts several years be-
| fore he died. Comrade Roberts seemed
to think that he or the association
could not get together to place tab
let on the general lines which We are
now considering. l sincerely hope that
we will be able to put it through.

boulder and tablet and give me a rough
draft of it, This / have received and
it is now in the hands of a draughts-
man who will make a drawing Of it

they reach me l will forward copy
