(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., July 8. (Speclal.)-' ln
sofar aa the Borglums are concerned In
the matter of the Lincoln monument to
be erected on the atate house grounds,
the committee In charge did not examine
our work, visit our studies or discuss the
monument with us. The committee was in
no position to consider us In connection
with the monument because It had not
conculsted us. Mr. F. M. Hall consulted
Mr. French, and so far as I know he was
the only sculptor Mr. Hail visited while
In the east. At least three Nebraskans
have national or International reputation
as sculptors, and they at least should have
been considered when the commission was
given to build a monument for the state.
To say the least, the committee acted
very undignified."
Thla statement was made by Outxon
Borglum, the sculptor, who with Dr.
Frank Borglum of Lincoln, his brother,
waa the guest of Governor Shallenberger
for lunch today. He was accompanied to
Lincoln by Mrs. Borglum and a niece,
Mlsa Dai low.
To the governor,, Mr. Lorglum said the
talk that he nor his brother, Solon Borg
lum, desired to be considered In the mat
ter of the erection of the monument was
erroneous. It had been ..their custom al
ways not to compete financially with each
other for work, but the commission to
build the monument was not an affair
where there waa competition of that nature.
The atatement waa made at the commit
tee meeting, when Mr. French waa chosen
aa the sculptor, that the Borglums had
sent word they were not to be conoldered.
Addison Walt qualified this statement by
saying that should either be given the
commission, he felt no doubt about him
accepting.
"I favored giving the commission to Mr.
Borglum," said the governor, "and so did
General Manderson, but we were given to
understand at the meeting that neither
was to be considered. General Manderson
undoubtedly thought that, because he re
marked that with the Borglums were out
of It, there waa nothing to do but give
the commission to Mr. French. I regret
that we did not more thoroughly under
stand the position of the Borglums."
Gutxon Borglum la now making a $25,000
Lincoln monument' for Newark, N. J., and
he will shortly begin the construction of
an $80,000 Lincoln monument for the city
of Washington, though he said he would
rather have made the Lincoln monument
for Nebraska than to have had either of
the two commissions. Mr. Borglum Is also
shortly to make a bust of Preaident raft
for Yale. '. '
Before tha $30,000 appropriated by the
late legislature la available for the use
of the Monument association, the commit
tee must raise $10,000, Joe Johnson, tormer
deputy food commissioner, haa been hired
to assist In the collection of this money,
and yesterday he was . paid $100. a 5 per
cent commission, for1 getting pledges for
$2,000. When the money Is finally collected
he will be paid another $100, making 10
per cent for hla wprlt':; .,.
