The House unanimously passed
over the Governors veto the resolve
appropriating 100000 for construc-

Maine Sanitorium. In his veto mes
sage Governor Baxter said that the
appropriation would make it impos-
sible to keep within the six mills tax
rate, that it had not been recon-
mended by the Budget Committee,
that there is no apparent need for the
building proposed, there being no
waiting list under the existing condi-
lions and that, to pass this resolve,
the Legislature would favor one par
ticular State institution.
Wilson of Pressure Isle gave a his
tory of the institution and it's work

rate would not stand it. He express

keep within the six mills rate.
The resolve was also supported by

lie is not a racial or a religious Or
ganization, but is composed of those
men and women in this country who
believe in the cause of Ireland, re-
CARELESS Of their church utilization or
their race, was pointed out in very
forcible manner at largely attend
ed and very enthusiastic meeting
held Sunday evening at Union hall
under the auspices of the st. Patrick
Council Of the Association.
The meeting was ably presided ov-
er by Patrick III. Fitzgerald, presi-
dent OF the st. Patrick Council. and
the two speakers Of the evening, At
torney Herbert E. Holmes of Lewis
ton and Thomas N. Nolan of Boston,
secretary of the Massachusetts, branch
of the Association brought messages
OF inspiration for the cause which
were most attentively listened to and
were given hearty applause. The hall
was well filed with interested men
and women and in a canvass made
during the meeting, the ranks of the
st. Patrick Council were increased in
goodly numbers.
Mr.. Fitzergald in introducing the
first speaker Of the evening, stated
that he was glad to see such a large
attendance at the first real meeting
Of the local council. The first speak
er he called upon was Attorney
Holmes of Lewiston.
Our purpose in entering the great
war. to fight for Democracy, was re-
ferred to by Mr.. Holmes in opening
his address and he showed that IA
republics were established by the
war and OF these, - have been
recognized by the United States. He
spoke of the extent of the British
possessions. The speaker then told
OF the services given by the Irish
people to the United States in the
establishment and the maintenance
OF Its Congress. pointing out that SO
per cent. OF Washington's army in
the Revolution was composed of
men Of Irish blood and that the debt
of obligation to Ireland has been
recognized by every great statesman

argument that this is merely a re-
ligious fight in Ireland. And in con-
clusion, the speaker urged all to lend
their assistance to the association in
its endeavors.
