DESIRE OF SENATOR CULLoM
Executive Touchingly Points Out
That Illinois Statesman Wishes
to See Dream of Years Realized.

President Taft talked early today Will
thirty republicans of the House in ia
vor of the passage of the Senate bill
providing for a great memorial to Lin
coin in Potomac Park. as recommended
by the Lincoln commission in accordance
with plans already made public.
The President was exceedingly earnes,
in the matter. and is known to have
converted to his view a number of those
who were present at his invitation. The
President said he had heard reports that
the Lincoln memorial was likely to be
defeated in the House in favor of the
gettysburg national road proposition OF
something else. He said he believed this
would be deplorable and that it would de-
lay for years to come the construction of
a. memorial in which the country was
deeply interested
Does Not Want Road Now.
The President said he did not oppose
the idea of a national road to Gettysburg
IL Congress wanted such a road it could
be authorized at any future time. but to
interject it now would interfere with the
future of that project as well as the
carrying out Of the intention of Congress
stand for all ages.
The President called attention in a
touching way to the fact that Senator
Cullom of Illinois. whose term will ex-
pire March A. had set his heart on the
realization of his years of efforts for a
memorial before his death. Senator Gull
lom is eightythree years old. and has
worked day in and day out to get the
plans for the memorial completed. 1t
the commission decided upon the Potomac
Park memorial. the best proposition ad-
vanced. The President is chairman Of
the commission that decided the matter,
but he has been guided much by the
sentiments Of the aged Illinois senator.
Change Means Hitch.
The President said to his congressional
friends today that the Senate would not
accept any other than the memorial bill
already passed by it, and that if the
House decided on something else there
would be prolonged hitch which would
prevent action until Senator Cull0m has
left the Senate and probably for years
afterward.
