| The committee on resolutions reported as

The Democracy of Cumberland county in
Convention assembled hereby pronounce their
emphatic approval of the action of the State
| Convention and heartily endorse the pomlna-
| ton of the HOP. Charles P. Kimball as candi-
| date for Governor.
Resolued That we accept the declaration OF
| principles contained N Mr.. Kimbalfs letter OF
acceptance as the platform upon which we de-
sire to go to the people. These are as follows
| Among the pressing demands of the hour
| are,-
First The strictest honesty and economy in
all public expenditures; that we nav in good
faith gradually extinguish the public debt and
| in measure relieve the terrible burdens Of
taxation now pressing SO heavily on the peo'
pie.
Second, Such change of tariff with view
to revenue only as shall restore labor to an
equality with capital, and especially relieve the
ship building and commercial interests WHICH
have been we'll nigh destroyed by adverse con-
gressiOnal legislation.
Third, To encourage by every suitable meth
| cd, by just and equal laws the spirit OF public
and private enterprise and mechanical indus
try, and to help the laboring classes in al
| practical ways; to improve their condition t.
the largest extent
These and kindred other forms it is in thu
power of the farmers and mechanics of Maine
to inaugurate at an early day, by vigorous anC
| determined purpose and unity OF actor
| among those who think alike upon the press
| ing needs of the country.
| ResolUed, That we are warmly in favor of al
| nominees of this convention, and that we will
use all honorable means within our power, t.
| insure their success at the polls.
After the reading of the resolutions-whicl
are taken chiefly from the letter of acceptance
of Mr.. Kimball-Mr. E. F. Sargent of Var
mouth, from the committee, rose and said tina
he moved that that portion of the resolution
endorsing the "New Departure" movement b
stricken out. That the resolutions were "bung
| ling mess" that in the proceedings of the YOrl
County Convention no endorsement was made
of the State Convention resolutions at Angus
ia, and he didn't see why this convention
should. That the "Ntw Departure" movement
was not believed in by the Democratic pres
of the country although they were trying t
foist it on the party.
Col. Bradbury said that Mr.. Sargent was tn
only one of the Committee on Resolutions VIII
had dissented to them. As chairman, he fel
great hesitation in opposing Mr.. Sargent 70
his experience was of the widest, and had beel
relied on for years. But he felt it his duty t
do so if he was going to set the action of tn
, Cumberland Convention against the Stat
Convention. The 'New Departure was tn
, plank on which Democracy hoped to attai
success, and that knocked from under thei
feet they should be put back generation.
The Convention unanimously endorsed tn
resolutions and adjourned sine die at 1913
