Public Safety

An important conference was held Fri

presided over by Chairman Harold NJ
Sewall of the Maine committee of pub
lie safety. at which were present spe-
cial agents from all sections of the State
and Messrs. McKeen, representing the
army, and Mcbride, representing the ma
Wy, both from the department of Justice
Many important matters were discuss
ed at length, including slackers, desert
ers, violations of the espionage act and
many others related to our public safety.
The business and discussions were nat
urally of a nature which prevents MAX
ing them public but those interested
said it was one of the most important
meetings yet held in the State and very
probably will be far-reaching in it's re-
suits.

FORT BALDWIN MEN
VOTED IN PHIPPSBURG

Report has gained some circulation
that number of regular army SOL
diers. not residents Of Maine, had on
Monday last voted in the town of
PhippSburg. 1t was also stated that
they had done SO, after inquiry had
been made of the secretary of State S
office, as to weether or not they
should be allowed to do SO. Secre-
tary of State Frank w. Ball on Fri
day made the following statement
regarding the matter
MY office was called by phone
from Phippsburg last Monday and l
answered the call. The party. who
did not make himself known to me
inquired if the regular army soldiers
stationed at Fort Baldwin, at the
mouth of the Kennebec, in the town
of Phippsburg. could vote in that
town.
II told the man that if the soldiers
had a legal residence in Phippsburg
they had the right to vote and that
it was up to the selectmen of Phipps-
burg to settle the matter of legal
residence. ! also told him that the
Constitution of Maine was explicit on
the point that the fact that a soldier
was stationed at a certain place did
not give thereby legal residence
The selectmen did not talk with
me and | had no further conversation
that day with anyone about the case.
| was surprised later to hear that any
of the soldiers were allowed to vote"
Councillor Frank B. Nichols Of
Bath. who was in attendance at the
council meeting said that he was in
Phlppsburg when the soldiers voted
and saw them so vote, seven being
allowed to deposit their ballots He
then made a strong protest, although
it was not his voting place. but be-
cause he realized the illegality and
injustice of such proceedings The
selectmen then refused to allow any
more soldiers to vote
