Honor for E. w. Marble,
Skowhegan, the States
Oldest Marble Worker

Hon. E. W. Marble of this town has
been singularly honored by the Maine
Retail Monument Dealers Association
by being made an honorary member
This came in recognition of his being
the Oldest marble worker in point 81
service in Maine, having been actively
aged in business for 63 years. When
Young Mr.. Marble became a sculptor
and one of his finest pieces of work.
manship was the bust of Ex-Gov. Ao-
ner Coburn, which is now cSpspicu-
ously located in niche off the corri-
dor Of the Somerset county court
house. The first piece of real sculptor
ing which he ever accomplished was
statue of the deceased young daugh-
ter of Capt Austin of Damariscotta
The likeness was carved by means OF
a daguerreotype, with a niece Of Mr.
Marbles posing for the figure outlines.
He also carved a figure representing
Sleep, but this was sold in Bath be
fore its entire completion.
One interesting incident connected
with Mr.. Marbles career is that it was
he who first furnished the moulding
clay for the noted sculptor, Franklin
Simmons, whose death occurred dur
ing 1913 in Italy. This happened il
seems through Mr.. Marbles hearing
of young Simmons, who was then en-
ployed as an office boy in Lewiston
and becoming interested sent him
some clay, little thinking of the flu
ture successes to be attained by the
ambitious youth. Mr.. Marble has &C
complished one thing, which il is I'M
6erstood no other sculptor in Maine
has ever succeeded in doing, and that
is the modelling. casting and carving
Of his own work. He has also painted
portraits and likenesses to some ex-
tent.
Edwin W. Marble was born in Vas
salboro IS years ago Jan. % and at
the age of fifteen years began upon
what proved TO be his life work, that
of marble cutting. He has continued
at this trade ever since. with the
exception of five months, which makes
practically GO years Of steady labor.
He still carves and does some letter.
ing upon memorial tablets, though
quite a portion of his carvings are now
imported from Italy.

Caribou Grange
Grange

For several weeks Caribou Grange
has been having an attendance contest.
one side being captained by Arthur c.
Thomas and designated as the Reds.
the other side had for its leader Miss
Eulia Spooner and wore the colors OF
blue. The idea was TO have as many
members as possible attend, and any
one present at three consecutive meet
ings added just SO much to the score.
Tae contest closed last week, the reds
having won the greater number OF
points. On Tuesday OF this week the
blues paid the penalty Of losing by fur
nishing a supper to the victorious side
and it was a good supper, too, the
winners being loud in their praises and
declaring they were well satisfied. Sup
per over adjournment was made to the
main auditorium, where games and
music were indulged in until late hour.

subject to another installment Let 1t
be remembered that President Wilson
in has indianapolis speech declared that
the Democrats would have had major
ity Of the electoral college, had 1t been
a presidential election, instead Of only
Congressional election last November.
The Republicans had previously an
nounced that 1t would have been nothing
Of the kind. Indeed Republican Pres
ident certainly would have been elected
on the basis Of this last November vote.
The official vote, as showed by official
counts in the IS states, however throws
some light on the contention. These
Official votes come in slowly and have
not been available until recently. The
Republican national committee has COM
piled these, which demonstrate that the
Republican party carried the country
on national issues at the November cleo
ton by margin of 16e, 900 votes. This
is the margin by which the Republicans
exceeded the Dernocrats-and this when
the Progressives were polling pract-
cally million and half of votes.
The vote OF the country on national is
sues as compiled by the Republican ma
l4oIiAl CoIIliI14tltc. Slahus iNSA'NDiiGoii
5.y15,2-0; Democratic, 5, 2,5so; Progress
sive. 1.474,243. This vote was made up
by the Republican committee on the tai
lies in contests for United States sena-
tors. in states where such elections were
held in 1914. and. in other states was
based on the returns in Congressional
contests. In this compilation the vote
for governor and other state officers was
entirely eliminated as being local in is
sue and character The figures taken
apply wholly to the two contests in
which national issues were involved, the
election Of senators and of members OF
the House Of Representatives
For President in 1872 the country voted
as follows: Republican, 3,i4 $50; Demo-
cratic. 6.2s3 ol9; Progressive, 4,119,5o1. In
that presidential year, of the total vote
Of the three parties, the Democratic
candidate received AS per cent; the
Progressive 2a7 per cent; and the Re
publican. % per cent. In the election of
1914 the Republican portion Of the total
vote Of the three parties was IS per
cent: the Democratic vote 43S per cent;
and the Progressive l12 per cent. 1t is
Interesting TO note that the total vote
cast in 1914 was 13 141 ,093; and in 1912 it
WAS 1881. 4S2. This shows that the turn
out for 2 Congressional year was large.
The figures are important and will give
Republicans at least an argumentatiye
ADVANTAGE when il comes to fighting for
the Presidency in 1916. They can say
they were the largest party in 1914.
