Governor Carl E. Milliken on Mon
day morning began his personal com
parison and investigation of the sig
natures attached to the referendum
petitions which were the subject OF
the hearings held all last week before
him, as we'll as to look into the valid
ity Of the many petitions there ques-
toned.
1t will be a great shock to those who
repeatedly insinuated and said that
the decision was already made and
the case prejudged, that the Governor
would decide it by his own prejudices
and not by the evidence submitted, to
find that he meant what he said and
has begun that task. but he has and
will continue at it with all the time
that can be taken from other State
matters until it is finished.

Soldiers Burroughs

An additional "a hours has been secured
for the Maine soldiers at Camp Devens'
Aver, Mass, who are planning to come
home for the Thanksgiving recess,
through the thoughtfuness of Adjutani
General George Mel. Presson, the provost
marshal of Maine
The official word went forth that the
hcys would be allowed a 4-hour Through
which sounded pretty good, although
many a regular army man has little idea
OF the distances that stretch out within
the hord RS of the Pine Tree State.
General Presson on learning the time
specified Immediately communicated with
Colonel Arthur S. Conkln, commanding
the 3o3d Regiment in which the Maine
boys are located stating that the time
was insufficient for the men living IN
Aroostook, Washington and Hancock
counties to reach home and return, to say
nothing of. having time to tackle the
turkey, with the appetite developed at
Camp Devens in the bayonet drill and
going over the top"
Colonel Conklin at once saw the point
and extended the time from IS to q hours
This will affect about TOO Maine men
whose homes are in these counties ano
other distant parts of the State and
doubtless will be appreciated by them.
