STATE MEETING.
Contin ued from Third Page,

"It was a generous and hospitable
thought which prompted the people of
Maine to invite back home at this time,
for a season of visiting and entertain
ment, and the renewal of friendships, the
many sons and daughters Of the great
commonwealth, who have strayed away
into other states and other lands and be.
come residents thereof. All the sons and
daughters of Maine not only honor the
Pine Tree State, but deem it a high privi-
lege to come within it's boundaries and
mingle again with its people.
''For myself, while most of my life has
been spent in the state OF my adoption,
the great North Star e-Minnesota-
a state whose glories I could not sutfi-
c1ently describe, and where many of the
children of this state have erected homes
and live in comfort and contentment-I
say that while most OF my years have
been spent there, and whatever of success
In life / have attained has been achieved
there, I still love, with the ardor of youth,
the grand and glorious old state of my
blrth-the state within whose sacred pre-
cincts my eyes first saw the light Of day
and where the friendships and attach
ments of my youth were first kindled and
which kave constantly famed to this day.

CONGRESSMAN AMOS L. ALLEN
was next introduced and received with
cordiality, He said that he had not in
tended to speak, but must respond to
the mayors urgent request. Maine had
furnished to the nation many able men
in many walks of life. The present chief
justice of the greatest court on earth,
the secretary of the navy, the governors of

happened to be passing along the street,
while the little procession was moving.
These greetings must have assured the
visitors that they would be given hearty
welcome back to their native State. The
arrival was made at the reviewing stand
in plenty of time. All had fine seats and
were highly pleased with the procession.
There were two large banners in the line
of this party. They were of the Braintree
club, which brought about sixty people,
and the Parsonsfield club, which is made
up of people throughout Massachusetts
who are natives of the old town of Par
sonstleld. This contained about fifteen
members who journeyed to Portland, and
the club was in charge of DR.. George e.
Stackpole Of Maiden.
The second train arrived at a few min
utss past eleven O'Clock, and came
through over the western division of the
Boston & Maine. There were some forty
people in this train, number having
left on arrival at the Union station. The
party was in charge of Captain Thomas
j. Hogan, who with Major Hartnett had
made the trip to Boston. The line was at
once formed, and the procession had pro-
coded nearly as far as Oxford street,
when Major Hartnett, who had escorted
the first party to Lincoln Park appeared
and explained that within few minutes
the LiverInore Falls band would be ready
to do also escort duty to the party. So
the procession was reformed, the band
soon appeared and then the march was
taken up Myrtle street to the stand.
Much cheering and waving of handlxer-
chiefs also served as a cordial welcome TO
this gathering. The stand was reached
in time and there were enough seats so

full pleasure and, maybe, sorrows. 1t is
the same feeling which has impelled us
who were born in Maine, but whose
homes are now elsewhere, to come here at
this slime to share your hospitalities and
renew the friendships of youth. 1t is a
feeling altogether creditable and implies
to the love of country which makes
loyal people.
"And, now, my friends, in closing let
me participate with you in the JOY of this
occasion; let me share in the honorable
pride with which you recall the history
of your state. The nam es of her great
man are enrolled among those of the
worlds immorUals. need not recall
them-they are numerous-you know of
whom I speak. And, finally. let me ex-
press the hope that Maine may continue
to direct and guide in the future as she
has in the past, and that you may all
live long to recall this reunion and the
pleasure it affords US to be with you on
this occasion. -
CONGRESSMAN EBENEzER j. HILL,
of Connecticut, received a warm welcome
as he arose to respond. He said:
1T cannot claim to be resident
of Maine and yet my mother was Oh ar
lotte nlsley Mcclellan of this city, a name
with which many of the older residents
here are doubtless familiar. My father
was Rev. Moses Hill, who in 1926 in

station to sell small banners on which
were the words, Massachusetts,. - These
banners went like hot cakes. so that
about all of those who took places in the
procession were equipped with a flag as
we'll as badge. When the procession
was made up a count was taken, and it
was found that there were almost three
hundred people who had arrived.
The Livermore Falls band of 81 pieces,
w. r. Sewell leader, which had arrived
in the morning and which had been wait
ing at the station, escorted this train load
to the reviewing stand in front of Lin
coin park. The line of march was up
Elm street, to Lancaster, to Chestnut to
Congress and thence to the park. Hon.
Elihu b. Hayes, a native of Uimington,
who has been one of the mayors of Lynn,
and who is the president of the Maine
Old Home Week Association in NIassachu-
setts, marched at the head of the process
sion At first he was ayerse to assuming
this position, but it was the unanimous
wish of his associates on the train that
he should do so. AS the party pursued
their way to their destination, with their
flags fluttering, and marching in fine
yle to the music of the band they were
repeatedly cheered. Ladies' in the houses
along the route waved their handker-
chiefs and frequent was the cry
''Three cheers for Massachusetts," which

above all, its people.
''In the settlement of the great West,
and in the work of organizing states and
enactlng just and proper laws, and estab
fishing churches and schools-in short, in
all the work of building up the new com
monwealth, the children OF no state of
the Union have borne amore influential
or worthier part than those Of Maine.

and forceful, they have impressed upon

Maine in the great Civil War, and others
that have followed. The record is Illus
trious and glorious. Nc drawer sons than
hers ever barred their bosoms to an armed
foe, or gave truer account on the battle
field OF their courage and patriotism. II
is n the home that love of country is
kindled. The homes of Maine have ever
been the cradles of patriotism. In them
the justice and love Of country are nur-
tured, and from them go forth its sturdy
sons ana daughters, filled with enlight-
ened conceptions of public duty. 1t is in
the homes of Maine that her greatest
glory abides. Distrust the man who does

complained at what they call 'clannish-

its cause in a common love for+he father

that all could see the procession.
There was considerable regret expressed
that Secretary Long did not arrive wit h
these Massachusetts, Old Homers. Every
body knew that he would have come had
1t been possible for him to do SO, and
he, was doubtless as sorry as anybody
that his plans for reaching Portland had
fallen through. One of the aids OF Adj

Mr. Allen spoke briefly of the Maine
men in others states who were now in
Congress, especially those who were
guests of the day, and Senator Perkins,
who was one of the most eminent men
on the Pacific coast.
But it was not alone to the distin-
guished men that tribute should be paid
on such an occasion. There were thous-
ands of men in the common walks Of
life, who were by faithful performance
sustaining the credit and fame of the
state of Maine. The common men, the
mechanics, the business men, were
those who, going from Maine had built
up other commonwealth
Mr.. Allen spoke humorously of himself
as the successor of Mr.. Reed, and voiced
the good wishes OF the people of Maine
for his success and prosperity in his new
home.

did great life work in this state. Parker

MASSACHUSETTS, FOLKS.
A Thousand Strong on Yesterdays
Special Train.

The Massachusetts, contingent that ar
rived yesterday morning was a large and
enthusiastic one, the biggest that came
in body from any of the states. 1t was
composed of men, women and children
who were all very happy at once more
returning to the old scenes in Maine
and the metropolis of the old Pine Tree
commonwealth. All enjoyed most
pleasant time, and the most of them
win remain throughout the week and
perhaps for several days more.
Two trains brought the Massachusetts,
visitors, and they rolled in at the old
Rochester station at the foot of Preble
street The first came in at 1910 and
consisted of five cars which were we'll
Tiled. This train left over the eastern
division of the Boston & Maine railroad
which had pulled out of Boston at z %
o clock. 1t was under the charge of
Major Timothy e. Hartnett, who had
gone to Boston for the special purpose of
meeting the Massachusetts people and
looking out for them on the journey
The trip went along very smoothly, and
at different stations people boarded the
train and joined the visitors. Soon after
arrival at the Preble street station line
was formed, the marchers dividing into
tours. On the trip down badges had
been freely distributed so that nearly every
one of the visitors wore a small insignia
on which were inscribed the words

Massachusetts," An enterprising young

ler's First Regiment band and headed by
the mounted officers of the regiment,
marched up Exchange street, to Middle,
to Congress, to Bramhal and thence to
the promenade. All along the route the
regiment was freely applauded and it's
splendid appearance occasioned much
favorable comment
The men went through their manoeu-
vres in fine style and the crowd was not
slow to appreciate, giving much applause.
At the conclusion of the exercises The
regiment was dismissed. Many of the
members of the visitiDr companies re-
turned to their homes on the late after
noon trains. Others remained in Port
land until the midnight trains.
