THE GOVERNOR
TO CLERGYMEN

Governor Carl E. Milliken has issued
the following appeal to the ministers Of
Maine under date of Sept. to assist in
getting out the vote on questions to be
voted on next Monday and In which he
takes particular interest and regards as
Of vital importance to the public welfare:
In the rush and excitement of war we
are properly giving little attention to po-
litical activities as such. and are trying
every proposed undertaking by the test
OF its probable helpfulness for the great
national task confronting us.
Whatever helps toward a finer and
stronger citizenship, whatever tends to
surround our boys and girls with more
wholesome influences, is of immense i'm
portance and must not be overlooked
even in this time Of stress and struggle.
Next Monday the voters Of Maine will
be asked to decide upon several proposed
amendments to the constitution. At least
two Of these amendments are in my judg-
ment Of great Importance to the moral
forces of Maine in our constant struggle
for the hetterInent Of the living condi-
tons Of our people.
The amendment providing for removal
council after proper notice and hearing
will ohviate the present cumbersome and
tedious method of impeachment and will
forever abolish the danger of notification
OF the Prohbitory Law in any county OF
the State through the connivance of the
local authorities. It will give the Cover
nor more complete power to perform his
constitutional duty of seeing to it that the
laws are faithfully enforced.
The amendment providing equal suf-
rage for women will also bring immense
reinforcement to every moral reform and
every movement for civic betterment
The adoption OF equal suffrage will en-
trench our laws against LIQUOR and kin.
dred evils, and will greatly minimize the
danger OF notification of such laws bv
unfathful officials.
III you share my views regarding these
TWO measures I earnestly urge your Ut
most EFFORTS In their behalf and the exer-
ton OF your influence in your community
/ should he glad to have your views as
TO the feeling In your section and would
appreciate your writing me at any time
regarding any matter in which YOU ara
interested. My most intense ambition in
connection with my office is to co-operate
IN every possible way with the forces
which you represent to the end that from
year to year our good old State NAV he
come an even finer and more wholesome
nome for the boys and girls who are to
be the citizens Of tomorrow.
