which contains a message from Presi-

by Congress
The Flannery statue was removed
from the court house grounds In the
fall OF 1919 because it's foundation
was declared to be Insecure. II was
placed in the basement OF the court
house. where IL now is.
Removal of the statue provoked
widespread protest Members of the
Grand Army OF the Republic. the 10y
al Legion and other patriotic organi-
nations urged the replacement of the
statue, and declared that Its removal
in the first place was a dissertation.
HARDING LETTER CITED.
Several bills providing for the re-
moval of the statue to other places
which have played a conspicuous part
in the life OF Lincoln. These bills
were lost, however. and so far as
members of the House of Representa-

II very recently received a call
OF a very notable delegation repre-
senting the Loyal Legion urging the
reconsideration at the hands Of Con-
jgress Of the decision to remove the
statue erected in memory of Presi-

as the action taken by Congress d.
recting its removal. j am inclos-

OF the papers left with me by the
representatives of the Loyal Legion.
1t Is such a fascinating story and
there seems to be so much of ap-
pealing sentiment about the restor-
alton of this statue to Its original
position that think Congress might
well expedite the reconsideration of
the action previously taken so that
this memorial may be restored to
the place II so long occupied,
II cordially believe the sentiment
is one that I'VE ought to sanction
and j am glad to express the hope
that Congress will take favorable
action in providing for the restora-
